1. Will Frank Underwood Ever Get A Decent Plate Of Ribs Again?
It got a bit lost in the story, what with all the murder, backstabbing, and destruction of a president, but Season 2 saw the demise of Freddy's famous Rib Joint. Yet another casualty as the war between Frank and Raymond Tuck got increasingly personal. Not being one for looking backwards though, Freddy seemed to just shrug his shoulders, be thankful for what he had, and walk off slowly into the sunset. Ultimately his relationship with Frank cost him his chance at making his fortune selling ribs, as Tusk used his history as a gang banger and his son's parole situation to try and damage the would-be president. Despite Frank's ruthlessness toward those around him though, the loss of Freddy (or maybe just his rib joint) clearly hurt him, and his response was to stop trying to counter punch Tusk and instead go for the knockout. Despite his new position of power, it's unlikely that he can be seen to do anything about Freddy's restaurant or his son's charges, but the question remains: is there nowhere else in DC that does a decent plate of ribs? There was something so poetic about seeing Frank stripping meat from the bones with his hands and teeth, he just won't be as fearsome if he's tucking into a burrito instead. Season 3 premieres on Netflix February 27. What questions have been keeping you up at night?
