It's important to know that they bring your food to where you scan the QR code. I screwed it up by thinking that it was just a QR code for the menu and then ended up looking for my food after I sat with my wife in a different seat.

Sichuan Jin River is also good next time your in the area.

I think the strength of the restaurant is eating in and enjoying the all you can eat salad experience that can be included with the entrees. We've enjoyed this couple times, especially at lunch.

My son and I went here during his RM graduation weekend. We ordered a large sausage pizza, which was really good. It's Maryland style-a rectangular pizza with lots of cheese and sausage and a slightly sweet sauce. The owner mentioned he makes the dough every morning and the cheese is not processed. However, the main reason we went was for the Sri Lankan dishes, both of which were excellent. We split the Ceylon Kottu and Deviled Chicken. The former was like eating some of the best stuffing we ever had. The chicken was like a chicharron covered in sauce, accompanied by onions and bell peppers. This is family run business and everyone was extremely nice and helpful. Bonus is that you can hit the Bruster's in the same plaza afterwards. https://cornerpizzansubs.com/

Agreed, at least compared to Five Guys (I’ve never eaten at In-and-Out). Onion rings are really good, especially dipped with ranch dressing. Also Five Guys prices seem steep in comparison.

Don, the biscuit I ate didn’t have ham and the sweet element was very restrained. The pimento cheese was a little odd, but didn’t overwhelm the chicken like I thought it would. It was very mild. Plus, I’m on vacation and the weather’s been gorgeous, which makes everything taste better.

For those needing a biscuit fix, Viscious Biscuit just opened in Mt. Pleasant. I really enjoyed the chicken biscuit with pimento cheese. Fun place.

We had a great meal for our 25th Anniversary the other week at Komi. Service was personalbe and professional. Highlights were the amberjack with berebere, the grilled watermelon, stuffed dates, corn tortellini, and of course the goat. I don’t know how they got corn that sweet in the tortellini. Also, bergamot soda was great for this non-drinker. My only question was the mild flavor in the Italian summer truffle for the pasta course. I was expecting something funkier. Kudos to Komi!

I was really annoyed when they didn’t have the pork and broccoli rabe sandwich because that was not seasonal. Yes, get rid of one of your most popular sandwiches for an extended period. I’ll miss the risotto balls. Good luck to the hard working employees.

We just got back from a week in Copenhagen. Not a gourmet trip since we were with the two kids (11 and 13). Still,we had a nice date night meal out one night and other good meals. We stayed at townhouse in Vesterbro, around the corner from Pony. The best meal we had was at BOB (BioMio Organic Bistro). This restaurant was in the Meat Packing District and had a special where if the table orders the same thing, the meal is around $300 DK per person. The wife and I enjoyed the Norwegian Lobster (small up charge), the Danish beef, and a cheesecake in jar that tasted like a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. The beef was excellent and as was the lobster, except for the cheese "crisp" was slightly burnt on mine. This was not family style meal, each of us received individual courses, just the same. The restaurant also great deal called Prison Food, which for 25 DK per person you got all the water (fizzy or still) and bread you wanted. On Monday night, the Danish National Aquarium is open til nine at night. The cafeteria serves good food, supposedly by some Noma alums. I had a decent fish and chips with vinegar powder and Danish remoulade, ie, sweetish tartar sauce (I would have preferred regular tartar sauce). The wife enjoyed a the fish cakes, but I found them a little rubbery to my taste. Another good evening meal we had was at Meyer's Deli. The son and I had giant hamburgers and the wife had a minestrone that looked like a bowl of Pho and the daughter had a kid's lasagna. We ate sandwiches at Joe & the Juice, a ubiquitous coffee, juice, sandwich shop after touring Rosenborg Slot and the Round Tower church. It was perfectly acceptable, and the young guys serving us were really nice. Lagkagehuset bakeries are everywhere, but really quite good, especially for the "snails." We had smorrebrod at a stall on Paper Island. it was great but the place was a zoo, think Reading Market in Philly. A calmer food court was West Market, a few blocks from our house. Other bits and observations: Copenhagen is expensive, but the high end seems less so than the lower and middle end places. Groceries ranked: Fotex > Irma > Netto The Copenhagen Card is a great way to tour the city, even things as far as Helsingor (Hamlet's Castle) are included. Buses are more convenient than the Metro.

There goes my Borf burger franchise.

Porcupine, Sheba is in the same plaza as Amina Thai on the corner of Nicholson and Nebel Streets, near White Flint Mall. The lunch menu offered vegetable and meat samplers as well as other entrees, most if not all for under $10. Despite being mentioned in the Washington Post in the Wednesday Food Section, the place was not too busy last Friday afternoon. I am not an expert on Ethiopian, but found the food quite enjoyable as did my wife who had the veg sampler. It tasted "authentic" given the heat level. The injera was only part teff, but you can pay extra for 100% teff injera. Service was extremely nice with water refills and extral injera. A very amiable lady, who maybe the owner, asked how we enjoyed our meal. I look forward to going in the evening with the kids, who will get a kick eating with their hands.

Sheba the new Ethiopian in Rockville had me in tears, wonderful tears. I had Meat Sampler #2 for lunch, which tasted great. While not a chile head, I handled Little Serow without a problem.

Enjoyed the special for the wife's birthday after watching Skyfall. The sauce with the pompano was great as was the service. Thanks Jeff (and Don)! P.S. you should bottle that sauce!

Live nearby, I'm pretty sure it has been closed before Sandy came through.

Chipotle is handing out $5 credit chips to be used at today's market.

Now open but with new hours, 11:00 am - 2:30 pm.

Just goes to show you shouldn't let a Miamian up north. I meant the Fairfield Pepe's which is just by I-95. Thanks June Bacon!

My food processor handle is moldy. I've tried slowly pouring soap and water, bleach, etc. Any advice?

Ate lunch today after walking on the nearby trail. We thought the pizza was quite good and actually reminded me of New Haven style pizza, which I readily admit we've only had once on the drive to Cape Cod a few years ago. The four of us had the large tomato, mozzarella, and fennel sausage pie. It was thin crust and crispy, although slightly soft in the middle, but not in a bad way at all. The outer crust was nicely blistered with out being overly charred, which is how I prefer it. Splitting a dinner salad, which was nicely given on two separate plates, and the large pizza only cost $33 with tax and tip included. The pizza came in a metal tray, which was how we had at Pepe's in Bridgeport. Service was attentive, especially with the waters. Ignacio P.S. I am not saying this was as good as Pepe's, the clam pie being the best pizza I have ever eaten.

We were there Friday night. This is a really fun place with a foozball and a shuffleboard-type game to amuse the kiddies. I love that it is fast casual and informal. I enjoyed our pizzas quite a bit. I thought they were crispy, charred, and well balanced, not much problem with sogginess and overly cheesiness like I thought of Pizza De Marco when it first opened. My only critique would be to reduce the char just the smallest skosh, but this my personal preference and I'll mention it next time I order. Great place, friendly service, and they seemed to have a steady crowd last night. As a Twinkbrookian, I wish this place all the best. The Ignacio

Sarasota Well its neither romantic nor dimly lit, but we enjoyed the seafood at the Casey Key fish house. I recommend it if you're in more of laid back, Tiki-esque mood. Saw Stephen King there,but didn't recognize him wearing grungy jeans and Maine T-shirt until wife, who grew up partly in Bangor, pointed him out. http://caseykeyfishhouse.com/menu.html

We got married in Woodlawn Manor in Sandy Springs, MD. It seems to meet your needs. http://www.montgomer...s/woodlawn.shtm

I was reading this thread and thought the Peter Pan Inn reminded me of the Kapok Tree restaurant I went to as young lad in the late 1970s, which was located in the boonies west of Ft. Lauderdale. Lo and behold, they were owned by the same family. Attached is a link to the history of the various restaurants in the group, albeit focusing on the Kapok Tree of Clearwater, Florida. If you search carefully, you can even find a recipe for the hush puppies, aka, corn fritters. http://benzplace.com/kapok/others.html
