District Chronicles: Phish Tea
I came across this recent piece from the District Chronicles (Howard U) on Phish Tea. The article is not a review, but more just a little information on the owner.

Learning to cook from your grandma does not make you a chef anywhere and anyhow. It just might make you a line cook somewhere.
Hey, there are plenty of chefs out there who never went to culinary school. I find the food at Phish Tea to be decent & the space is nice, it's just the service and level of organization with which I take issue.
please forgive my ingorance, but what makes the name "Phish Tea" uniquely carribean? when i fist saw the sign i thought someone from the rainbow family opened up a place.
Neo-Deadheads are definitely not behind this one. Phish Tea gets its name from its signature soup. Here's what Phish Tea's website says about its Caribbeanness:
Restaurant Description Phish Tea goes beyond the stereotypical and expected Caribbean cuisine to feature items that have, in a sense been lost or forgotten, from many local Caribbean menus. Phish Tea will move beyond a Jamaican-based menu to integrate foods from the wider Caribbean. Like "coo coo" from Trinidad & Tobago and "cook-up rice" from Guyana. All dishes will be prepared and presented with "phlavor" and :phlair."
I tried Phish Tea last night and the food was pretty good. Although, the service was somewhat lacking. They need to make the place a little more inviting by hiring some female servers too. It was a lttle strange to see all males.
