Reformatting it a bit

String.Join(
    "\n", 
    mylist.Where(
        foo => !String.IsNullOrEmpty(foo.description)
    ).Select(
        foo => foo.description))

this looks like a variant of Python's

str.join(
   "\n",
   map(lambda foo: foo.description,
   filter(lambda foo: foo.description, mylist)))

Assuming it's type-safe and can perhaps reshuffle the where and select part 
into something optimised there is definitely progress.

But still, Python's generator expressions are cool..
