Also made a stop at Pierce's and got a pulled pork, ribs, and pork shanks. First, I do not like the fact they mix the sauce in with the pulled pork and it is not an option to get it without. Always trikes me as a reason to be hiding something. The pulled pork was OK, but if this is the best Virginia has to offer as a state, they've got a long way to go in the BBQ wars. 

Pierce's is not among the best 100 BBQ joints in Virginia, let alone the best.

Tarantino has become something of a parody of himself at this point. I still absolutely love Reservoir Dogs though.

Weak competition that year and a sort of lifetime achievement award for Scorsese. While entertaining it is nowhere near his best work.

Taxi Driver, Raging Bull, Gangs of New York, Good Fellas, The Aviator.

Watching Steph Curry torch the Wizards last night I would say he has a bit of Pistol Pete in his game- not super athletic but just really really good at playing with a basketball.

Dean Smith was one of my greatest childhood idols. Another of them was my brother Bruce. Today I drink to both of them.

A vegan friend was in Doi Moi last week and raved over the Kanom Pak Gadd (Crispy Radish Cakes). 

2 of my favorite Fredericksburg restaurants are Choi's Korean and South Vietnam House- both are located on the same road as Peter Chang's one strip down.

Once Spring arrives McCoys Barbecue sets up on weekends on Rt 3 a mile or so west of 95. The smoked mac and cheese is great.

There's a Roger Ebert statue in Chicago.

Sounds to me like the main potential drawback is the same as with a CSA- sometimes you may get stuff you either don't like or aren't in the mood for. (I am assuming there is no choice on your part in what is delivered.)

The song you asked about is "Morning Mr Magpie" from the album "King of Limbs" (2011). We have had tickets to see Radiohead 3 times and thus far seen a total of 2 songs due to various misadventures.

I liked them better pre-"Kid A" when they were still a rock band though.

Even if the book is 100% drivel (I will be shocked if this is the case) Ms. Parkinson is wrong as wrong can be. "Some Like it Hot"???   "When Harry Met Sally"???

It's good that the book was found while Harper Lee is still with us. She does seem like one of the good folks.

Please forgive me- I cannot resist.

If these are made with panda meat does that make them Bao Bao Bao? Is Dan Aykroyd then needed to serve them?

Anyone know of a local source (DC or VA, no MD) for piment d'espelette?

I'm growing about 100 plants this year- fresh pods should be available mid to late July, dried somewhat later.

it's year round- hours may differ seasonally.

Interesting your link. Guessing it may not be that expensive also? Can you tell us more about the place? Not sure we have a thread for it. Thanks.

ask and ye shall receive.

I love this place. They serve some of the best ice cream I have ever had. It's made on the premises using milk from the owner's farm less than 5 miles away. Located at the intersection of 29 and 28,  it's about an hour to get there from my farm or from DC proper. They also sell milk from the farm in old fashioned glass bottles as well as a small variety of sandwiches which I have yet to sample. My gf loves the lemon sorbet and my personal fave thus far is the "Moundz" ice cream- coconut with chocolate chips as you would expect.

Parking is a bit limited and service does tend to be slow, particularly on weekend evenings when the weather is warm. I get a little chafed over it but the irritation goes away quickly when the ice cream hits the mouth.

My family were dairy farmers for years and years so I have extra appreciation for the Moo Thru allowing the Smith family to endure in an increasingly difficult environment for dairy farming.

Breyer's vanilla= flavorless and not creamy. Bleh.

Never been impressed when I've eaten at In-n Out Burger. The one we went to in Vegas flat out sucked, the ones we went to in California were a bit better but nothing special. Roy's Big Burger in Richmond does a much better job of basically the same thing.

Thanks Don!

I know quite a few metal musicians that are major foodies. Mark Holcomb (Periphery) and Alex Markides (Periphery's FOH Engineer) come to mind...

A lot of high end chefs are metal heads as well.

They had a set of t-shirts out that had the band on the front, with "X-Cops" in a military-esque stencil, and on the back it just said "You fucked up". I had that shirt for years, and I will shit you not, cops *LOVED* the back of the shirt. They thought it was HYSTERICAL. They weren't as thrilled by the front (I think perhaps because it was "X-Cops") but I got so many compliments on that shirt from cops, and one threatened write-up by a supervisor when I wore it to a work event (and we were crashing parties, but that's a random story...).

I printed those shirts.

Who would've thunk it- song by song reviews of GWAR's albums on a foodie forum. I love it.

Was looking through the site and found this thread- the GWARBar is now open for business despite not reaching their crowdfund goal.

Existentialism and Shakespeare... many moons have passed since I studied either. Troilus and Cressida always struck me as the writings of a manic depressive. Nihilistic yet funny at times.

Good Morning,

My name is John and I am the owner of Glenburnie Farm Produce Co.. We grow chemical free produce in Spotsylvania County, VA on land which has been farmed by my family since prior to the Civil War. Our specialty is microgreens but we also grow a wide variety of herbs and specialty produce. We sell to restaurants in DC, Alexandria, and Fredericksburg as well as at Farmer's Markets in Dale City and Spotsylvania. Until recently our DC restaurant business had been done through a distributor (The FreshLink) but they have closed their doors so we are now dealing directly with restaurants in the "big city".

I grew up on the farm swearing I would never be a farmer as an adult and have a degree in English Literature which has never seen significant use.

Hopefully I will be able to contribute to the forum in a meaningful fashion. If anyone has questions regarding the agricultural end of the food chain please do not hesitate to ask.
