Find the General's BBQ

 2023-C E Madison St., in the NWernmost corner of the 'hood.

 The "C" means that it's buried in a little strip mall off Madison, in a
 weird intersection (Madison goes east from Caitol Hill at a weird angle,
 so all the intersections are weird there).  It's a little hard to see
 heading west.  It was even hard to see the first time heading east.

 He smokes meat all day, and serves a very tasty, very mild sauce on it.  I
 think maybe he serves a sauce with a little more character in his
 backyard, but his for-public-consumption stuff is awfully good.  The
 General does a great job.  Sides are tasty, too, and the multi-platters
 will feed easily all your co-workers, even if you work at Boeing.

 Don't take aquaintances there if they're real dainty and priss-like.
 They'll be horrified at the number of napkins they need to use in public.
 (But I'll be there with my sleeves rolled up and my tie over my shoulder).
