Chew on This: Where Should the Real World Cast Eat?

By Kate Nerenberg

Filming of The Real World: Washington DC is under way, and we’re keeping track of cast-member sightings. The seven strangers have recently been spotted taking drunken walks along the Southwest waterfront, hanging at a Fourth of July block party, and brunching at Adams Morgan’s Grill From Ipanema. We’re also expecting them to turn up at J. Paul’s, Old Glory, Paolo’s, Neyla, and Georgia Brown’s (as well as Georgetown bar/restaurant Third Edition)—the parent group of those restaurants, Capital Restaurant Concepts, signed a contract with MTV giving them permission to film in those spots. But where else should the cast members eat? Keep in mind that your suggestions might lead to meals interrupted by film crews and staged drama.

Give us your thoughts in the comments!

I suggest they get some fish and other items from SW water front on a 95 + degree and then walk back to their place with their purchases. No cooler allowed. Then they can cook and eat what they purchased and share with the crew and producers.

Hopefully this will keep these maggots confined to the house and off the streets annoying folks for a week maybe more.

Send up Wisconsin Ave to Good Guys for lunch. The girls can dance and earn lunch for the guys with their tips.

I like Cava and all (MD location is better than Cap Hill) but the comment from Geoff reeks of a conflict of interest - I wonder if he works there or is an investor there.

Also, the RWers are in their low 20s, we can’t expect them to go to fancy/expensive meals - so Proof and Marvin are probably out of their price range.

They should step out of their comfort zone and go get Ethiopian or Vietnamese.

They have to try Ethiopian food sometime! Great to see how many have even heard of it, much less tried it.

Why not have them explore the DC burger scene as a follow up to burger wars?

Cava is sweet...also maybe proof or Marvin...the restaurants they chose suck!

Cava Mezze restaurant on Capitol Hill - Cava is the best Mediterranean-style restaurant in the DC area. It is new, lively, and always full of beautiful women. It’s a mezze-style restaurant, which means they would order many small dishes to share around. Plus, the scenery is great for filming.
