It's on draft at Columbia Firehouse

Don't know yet, if we are it will be bar side only with a limited menu. --- Nevermind, we're closed until Monday.

Sounds good

I have responded to Escoffier. What's been said has been said, what's been done has been done. Ready to move along.

It's funny you should mention that. When we first opened I had opted against to go food in fear of certain items not traveling well, steaks being overcooked in the togo containers and items becoming soggy. Mary on the otherhand, wanted carryout due to the popularity of togo items at Monroes. Obviously she won that arguement. No excuses, but the items you ordered do not travel well. Thanks for chiming in.

Hamburger Steak Dinner with Mashed Potatoes and Green Beans, 2 slices of wonder bread is my go to. The Fried Chicken Sandwich is also delicious.

Don R: I just fucked you on the internet Sent: Mon, Dec 8 10:00 PM

Jack's Place, 222 N. Lee St.25-35 different sammys, if you get there early enough they do a great breakfast aswell.

I do now.

Thanks for your kind words, in regards to the different steak options, we had to with what the most popular items were. Buffalo sold alright, elk ehh, venison every now and then. If we have guests request a special meat, I have no problems bringing it in to run as a feature.The new menu Don is talking about debuted on Tuesday, it is available at dinner all week long. We are also now selling the Chili Dogs in the dining room as well as chicken pot pie, fried chicken breast, burgers and our Beef BBQ Sliders that were also featured on Art on the Avenue this past weekend. We're real excited about this menu because we believe it should be able to bring more people in without having to break their wallets. With the addition of Pizzaiola, this strip is turning into a quite diverse area. I would love to do a family style dinner on a Monday or Tuesday for the Rock Heads, with items to be passed around the dinner table. Mary and I had a great conversation with Don and Matt last night about this dinner. The dessert however will have to be planned by MattRocks, and I would love to execute it with him. As my sweet tooth is not very big. So lets get this dinner rolling...

I got four but will trade six to keep Heineken flowing:1. Aristocrat Vodka 2. GM 3. Patron Silver 4. Maker's Mark

all good shows, see ya then

Dinner begins at 5, so you should have plenty of time to eat and have a round or three. We have lots of guests that come in before a show at the Birch. We do not offer a pre-theater dinner but here are our hours... Mon-Thurs 5-930 Fri-Sat 5-1030 Sun 5-9 Hope to see you soon.

We're working on new menus, bring in your card and I sell you some dogs. in the dining room

Congrats! Good Job Teddy!!!

I might be able to shed a little light. When Mary and I decided to open Del Merei Grille we wanted to pay homage to her late grandfather by serving Vienna Inn Chili Dogs. They are listed under the bar menu as Zadies Dogs. Once a week I drive out to Vienna and pick up 30 pounds of the chili. The dogs that we serve during lunch and on the bar side during dinner are a little different than the ones you'll find at the Inn. At DMG we grill our dogs and use potato rolls versus steaming the dogs in beer and using white bread buns like they are served in Vienna. We had to be a little different, but the chili is authentic Vienna Inn chili.

My friend, Sean Taylor.

I think we may have what you're looking for: Del Merei or Rustico. Ours is with chicken, carrots, celery and onion. I believe Rustico is doing 2 versions, one with mushrooms and then one with chicken and veg.

For the 2 1/2 years we've been open, I've heard about the concept. Haven't been yet, Marty took over the Vienna Inn from Marys grandfolks (maybe 5+ years ago?), I look forward to my next chili run.

cet regarde bon ps: my french is no bueno

At The Birchmere $40 per adult; $10 per child (ages 6-17); children 5 and under are free. Admission includes fabulous foods, live entertainment by The Melonheads, a souvenir cookbook and live auction. Tickets may be purchased at the door. btw it's today

rustico

Every menu item that I have had at Rustico has been wonderful. The pizza "bombs", the dips, the chicken legs, all the way down to the Heineken and other libations have either met or exceeded my expectations. I am certain with Chris(Pizzaandbrew) and Frank manning the ship there will be greater things to come. And I can't leave this comment without throwing a shoutout to Bentley, you are working with a company that will take you in many different and wonderful directions...but you already know...

Chittum, 30, who has watched over two locations for almost two years, is leaving the District for Northern Virginia, where he'll take over the kitchen at Vermilion in Old Town in mid-March Congrats, it's more than awesome to see/hear/read what this group has been up to. I feel honored and privilged to have worked for the people that I call my friends, introduced me to my passion and taught me what it is to understand and manage a restaurant. I can't wait to see what else the NRG has to offer. Thanks Y'all Eric

Going out to Vienna Inn, Tuesday to pick up our usual order... the REAL CHILI and DOGS, (for those who are speculating) and buns FWIW. YMSMI a Del Merei or Monroes or V.I. t-shirt, we'll be @ the bar around dayish YMSMI=you might see/spot me in
