  1. As always taste, is a matter of opinion, what's to salty/sweet to one.... Having eaten at GPB a number of times, i never felt that anything was out of whack. I have more issue with the reviews reference to the Chef De Cuisine as a sidekick. I find that to be patronizing, condescending and disrespectful. Say what you want about what you ate or how loud the room is, but treat the professionals who work there with a modicum of respect.

  3. as long as the bellies are firm to the touch, you should be fine to smoke. The curing takes place not in the liquid that comes out, but by the salt mix you rub on.

    5 days is more than enough time to cure, especially with bellies of that size.

    Some people say to rinse them before hand, but we find just air drying for an hour works well, plus you havent washed off the flavor of the rub.

    Good luck, very interested in seeing the final results

  4. Had dinner here on memorial day night, had the fried clams with belly and 2 lobster rolls, hot with butter. Everything was great, including the fries, which were hot and crispy. The lady friend, (born and bred in Maine) felt that everything was spot on. We certainly had a better time than the grumpy, old couple sitting behind us, though it was enjoyable listening to them. i truly like the diverse beer list, and both of us are looking forward to steamers. Well worth the drive from Falls Church.

  5. Today, starting at 4 pm, Restaurant Three will be having the first of our monthly pig roasts. 2 pigs, 8 bellies, and more shoulder than you can shake a stick at, plus cheap beer, and bacon on a stick.

This one will feature, the Hogettes, and 106.7, feel free to stop by, festivities start at 4, and last until the pig runs out

  7. Yelp has several ways for the user to list reviews-yelp sort/date/rating/elite...if you go by date you will see a different review at the top. Additionally, as the owner, you can respond directly to any review by clicking on 'add owner comment' on the lower right-hand corner of the review. I suggest you reply to the post and add the correct information-then users will understand that that particular review is inaccurate. As someone who has used yelp to help promote a business (I have never paid for an ad nor have I ever even been contacted by yelp sales staff), I have found that business owners who know how to use yelp can benefit tremendously from it. And it doesn't cost you anything.

    Although my thoughts on yelp have appeared earlier in this forum. It seems that the earlier complaint didn't stem from how the review was listed, but that it had a current date, even though the review was obviously from a much earlier time.

    Also, it seems you are the only ardent and consistent defender of Yelp here on this board, which begs the question, are u affiliated with the site in any way? I wish some of the people i have worked with in my life were as passionate.

  8. got a quick tour of the interior today. It is a beautiful spot, marble flooring, pressed tin ceilings, distressed brick and big booths in the back.

    The front room will be a mini bakery/pastry shop. Hi-lighted by a walk up window to the outside for milk shakes.

    They are hoping to open with-in the next two months. Can't wait to see the finished product

  9. Not really sure how to do this, it's a cut and paste job, sorry about the double spaces

  11. For me it's not so much about reviews disapperaring. It's more upsetting that I can tell when the owner has declined an advertising offer, because random crappy "reviews" pop up.

    Case in point, our latest craptastic review that mentions a cheese plate that hasn't been on our menu since early July. This review stayed at the top of our site even after decent reviews were posted after it.

    Yes, you can contact yelpers privately with the owner feature, but, less than a third respond. Most prefer to remain anonymous and post with no responsibilty or accountability for their actions

    Quite honestly it's a f@&ing joke.
