  1. SO sad. My husband and I had a long-standing tradition of hopping in our little vintage convertible in the heat of summer and driving all the way from Chevy Chase MD to the Dreamery/DG (especially on Mozambique day) and then stopping at Gravelly Point on the way home to watch planes land. Those will forever be happy memories.
  2. Had dinner at Mia's last Thursday and was quite impressed. I thought it was better than it had been in years-- I used to go frequently and then other pizza places beckoned, notably Pupatella (we make the trek regularly from Chevy Chase to Arlington just to go there.) I did not know about the change in ownership until today, and I was surprised to hear that Melissa Ballinger was no longer in charge. It seems unusual for a restaurant to drastically improve after a big change, mostly it's the other way around. Anyway we had 4 pizzas: Mia's, Genovese, Jorge's Inferno, and Exotic mushroom. The topping were fresh and flavorful, and the crust was definitely in a league with the top pizza in the DMV. Go figure.
  3. Even as a vegetarian, I love KP. My husband gets the kubideh, and I get the veggie plate. If I had one wish for Kabob Palace, it would be for a Veg of the Day on weekends.
  4. I love that place too. We come all the way from Chevy Chase to go there (although TBH usually we combine it with a trip to the Dairy Godmother. You know, since we've already come that far...)
  5. Ha, we take the opposite tactic-- parking at the far other end by the dumpsters because we assume no one could possibly care about those spaces. Also sometimes we go in and buy a half gallon of milk
  6. The clue is, I liked the food here a lot more than Tom Sietsema did.
  7. Any chance Mr. Landrum might consider adding a veggie burger to the menu? There have been any number of times when our group of friends have wanted to go, but haven't been able to since I'm a vegetarian. I know people always say "why would a vegetarian want to go to a hamburger (or steak) restaurant", and the reason is simple-- if they're with someone who wants to go have a burger!
  8. Oh my gosh, this is such GREAT news. I too was upset, but didn't get around to posting about here yet. Thank you, thank you!. Just in case you have any doubt about your decision, here is the note that my husband had written on Nov. 9: Hanger steak and mushrooms, here we come!
