FNB is a damn fine restaurant. Stopped by on a business trip a few weeks ago. I really like the kitchen counter which makes it much more fun as a solo diner. Started off with a simple dish of local butter, local honey, radishes and country bread which paired wonderfully with a local IPA. Then moved onto an arugula, pumpkin, pomegranate seed, fried chicken liver salad which was outstanding and the above mentioned leeks/mozarella/egg dish. This place is definitely worth a trip.

Thanks Sorry for any confusion. Definitely going to Courthouse Rays, and have never been to the new setup so didn;t know if pre dinner drinks at the bar were an option. Someone else suggested Fireworks as well

Anyone have any recommendatons on a place to grab a drink/cocktail before a late-ish dinner at Rays tomorrow?

Wonderful wonderful meal at Cityzen last week. Chef ZIebold is pushing out some great food these days. Highlights were the celery root panna cotta w/ shrimp, the olive oil custard, an amazing mushroom salad, risotto with white truffles - I could go on and on. Best meal I've had in quite some time

had a pretty decent Fiah taco wrap from these guys today....walked straight up and ordered at 1pm - beat the hell out of joining a 50-75 person line at the Lobster Truck around the corner nice bit of friendly soccer banter as well with my order......i would go back

I thought that too, but then I got to El Bulli, which as they note opened in 64 and fearured Adria from 84 onwards.....then I got confused as to what the rules for includion were

Do you mind my asking how much the tasting menu was?

Rehoboth That was exactly our experience. Some decent cocktails and pleasant quirky staff. But the entrees were very mediocre with the 3 day pork and the paella in particular featuring borderline toxic levels of salt. We beat it before dessrt and it was still $150 per couple..... By contrast we had a very pleasant lunch at the Summer House one day - nothing fancy, just decent food prepared well Decent crabs from Jimmy Lynns (thanks TedE) lots and lots of great beer from Dogfish

Being a fan of Proof I expected great things from Estadio and it generally did not disappoint. 6 of us had dinner there last night with way more hits than misses. I started with the Scotch slushito which as others have noted is very tasty indeed. At a later point in the evening I tried the Gin one and did not like it at all, finding it very bitter and astringent. Others had the little "shot-like" cocktails on the top left hand of the menu, which were undoubtedly tasty but seemed a little lacking in volume for the $9 price tag. We rampaged through the menu, trying cured meats, several pintxos, the country bread, the squid, the octopus, the smoked salmon, the croquetas, the steak, the mushrooms, the fried squash blossoms, the torta, the duck and perhaps one or two others that I am forgetting. Everything was very good, a few thing were excellent - the torta does not seem to be a traditional one, its wetter than others I've had, but its incredible and infused with some kid of eggy cream that makes every bite a pleasure. Its also got a nice little kick to it. The jamon croquetas are equally creamy and equally great. Desserts seemed like the only weak spot but our sample was small - a decent panna cotta and the one clunker of the night, a stodgy, lukewarm, generally unappealing chocolate cherry bread pudding - not good. Service was pleasant and the corkage fee is only $15 (Thanks Mark!!). Dinner for 6 was a shade over $300 bucks which we all thought was very very reasonable given prevailing DC prices and the face that we left feeling nicely satiated. Bringing our own wine helped a little but I still thing this place is reasonably priced. Oh, and its a beautiful spot. We intend making this a regular on our rotation.

Does anyone know a good source of live crabs in the Rehoboth beach area?

The Big Hunt has an interesting looking beer dinner happening tomorrow night. Kentucky Derby Warm-Up Party on Wednesday April 28th, 8-midnight! The event starts with your choice of two bourbon cocktails, including a Perfect Woodford Reserve Manhattan, a Bulliet Mint Julep, and an Elijah Craig Kentucky Punch, followed by a dinner of pulled pork sandwiches, collard greens, cheese grits, and bacon & bourbon cornbread. There will be five featured 6 to 8 oz draughts, including Great Lakes Brewing Co.’s Lake Erie Monster (Double IPA), their Holy Moses Witbier, and Allagash Confluence. For dessert, traditional Derby Pie will be paired with Founders Kentucky Breakfast Stout. Tickets are $50, on sale Monday-Thursday from 4-8 p.m. at the bar. Seating is limited to 50

great deal - its 11.99 at Rodmans and 12.99 at Magruders who are usually fairly competitive on pricing

The Big Hunt tapped the first Oberon of the season last night. Not exactly summery weather but its nice to see this beer back.....

I saw it at Ch Ch Liquors last weekend. Wouldn't surprise me if Magruders picks it up soon.

Dortmunder Gold probably fits the bill

on tap @bighuntdc

Big Hunt pouring a few interesting Bells Beers on draft this week. Expedition needs no introduction - whoah what a monster of a beer. Oarsman, a Berliner Weiss style beer....interesting, tart, refreshing, and Consecrator, a doppelbock - I'm generally not a fan of doppelbocks - too much sweetness and maltiness going on. Favorite beer this week is probably Yeti's Hibernation Ale - truly outstanding

Dogfish Head in Rehoboth does them - not sure about the more 'local' locations

I'm with MtPleasanteater. Hopslam is absolutely worth it to me at $20 a 6 pack. I had heard the wholesale price for a case was $60, meaning that $18-20 a sixer is reasonable (anything more than 20 is just gouging) and that the place in Atlanta is selling it at a loss unless they have relatives at Bells Brewery
