I was asked to pick a luncheon spot for a business meeting and Jackson 20 in Old Town Alexandria came to mind. The menu had looked delish online. I arrived early and the place was half-full with business-types. I opted for the tea and was surprised and delighted by a Moroccan mint style iced tea. They had changed the menu so the one on the website wasn't quite up to date. I had kind of psyched myself up for the pappa al pomodoro (tomato soup with bread) but since they didn't have that I resorted to the multi-cheese panko and sundried tomato penne pasta which was heavenly and rich. My companions had the po' boy and fish. The waitress didn't know what remoulade was which didn't go far with my guest from Louisiana, but we were all pleased with our meals. I brought easily 2/3rds of my dish home and have been reheating it to my delight ever since.
