Mama Dolce's

Mama Dolce's marks Mama Dolce's Food Processing Plant on your Pip-Boy's map in Fallout 3. This place can be reached either through the Arlington/Wasteland Metro then east through Arlington Cemetery, or through the Arlington/Falls Church Metro in Falls Church.

Background
An encrypted file in a terminal in the upper section of the Food Distribution section can only be used by looting Mama Dolce's encryption key from the body of the Chinese Remnant Captain. The terminal reveals that Mama Dolce's was a front for Chinese intelligence and espionage throughout the DC area, and would undoubtedly serve as the base of operations for the other outposts scattered in the surrounding Wasteland. It seems that their front, in the end, came back to bite them, as when the bombs dropped they became the feral ghouls you fight in Mama Dolce's.

Layout
Mama Dolce's Food Processing Plant is divided into three parts: Between the entry-side Processed Food, and Food Distribution, lies the Loading Yard, this location is also filled with Chinese Remnant soldiers.
 * Mama Dolce's Processed Food
 * Mama Dolce's Food Distribution
 * Mama Dolce's Loading Yard

General

 * At least 11 boxes of sugar bombs can be found throughout the facility, mostly (if not all) in the Food Distribution area.
 * Along with sugar bombs, noodles can be found on the floors of one particular manufacturing area. It'll require looking on the actual floor, but notice that they are often upside-down and take the appearance of raised mines, due to the noodle's bowl.
 * Nuka-Cola Quantum is on the upper level in the Food Distribution area. It's on a desk next to a terminal which is near a pre-War book.
 * Many Chinese assault rifles can be looted from the Chinese remnants, along with otherwise hard-to-find dirty Chinese jumpsuits.
 * A few Stealth Boys can be found in the building. The first is located in the upper levels of the Food Distribution area under the desk which holds the Chinese Commander's computer. The second is on the ground floor of the Processed Foods area through a set of double-doors (in the north near the Arlington Cemetery exit) located on a table to the right as you enter the room. There is a Stealth Boy beside the Turret Control Terminal when you first walk in to the Food Distribution area from the Arlington Cemetery South area. Another may be found inside the hard-locked safe down in the cavernous space beneath the Food Distribution area. (The Average-locked safe beside it may also contain one).
 * A sniper rifle and .308 ammo are found on the eastern Loading Yard balcony.

Books

 * Tales of a Junktown Jerky Vendor is outside just north of the entrance behind some barrels, next to a dead wastelander, in an overturned storage container.
 * Chinese Army: Special Ops Training Manual is next to one of the snipers in the Loading Yard area.
 * Guns and Bullets is next to the other sniper on the opposite side of the Loading Yard and one is in a bathroom stall on the ground floor in the Processed Foods area.
 * Dean's Electronics is on a shelf in the middle of a stairway in the Processed Food area; it's next to a phone, a toolbox and a broken computer.
 * Tumbler's Today is in the Food Distribution area. Drop down through a hole(s) in the floor to the lower "cave" area to find the book next to two safes and a skeleton.
 * Two pre-War books can be found - one is in the Food Distribution area, on an upper level next to a terminal. The second book can be found on/under a small table in the upper level in the southeast portion of the Processed Foods area.

Appearances
Mama Dolce's only appears in Fallout 3.

Bugs

 * Outside the front entrance to Mama Dolce's, there is a (supposedly) dead wastelander next to a book. Although he appears dead, every several seconds he blinks. This is most likely caused by a texture glitch.
 * Next to the truck on the road with the dead wastelander inside, there is a Salisbury steak which cannot be picked up or grabbed.
 * There are radioactive barrels around this wastelander along with green "radioactive" dust, but there is no radiation.


 * When the world map is brought up in the Loading Yard, it shows the player's position to be outside of D.C. entirely, and west of Falls Church Metro.


 * When Fawkes is your follower you can hear a constant gatling laser sound in certain rooms.
