    I remember the first time I went here was in high school for a prom dinner. At the time in the early 90's I was amazed at the modern design. It really seemed ahead of its time. It was a beautiful humongous space. The food still then wasn't spectacular, even with my naive high school pallet. During college and after, it was a great spot to hang out with friends in the summer on the Georgetown waterfront. I have tons of good memories of those carefree summer evenings, when we were all single, didn't have kids, and very little to worry about. Sometimes the company you keep and the memories are worth more than anything else. So for me, it is a special place, albeit one that I haven't been to in ages.

    True that this should be moved. I was introduced to Wegmans while a student at Syracuse University, and the DeWitt store, which I believe was their first "mega" location. At the time it not of this world when compared with anything else. Their subs were a revelation (and I still think they hold up today because of the bread). While the Germantown store (or any local store for that matter) does not conjure up the same memories from Syracuse, it is still about 10 steps above any Giant, Safeway, or Teeter.

    I live close by as well and there are far better bagels in the vicinity.

    I like this place except for the bagels. I am pretty sure they steam them instead of boil them (unless they have recently changed).

    For me, I will miss Rayon Vert, which was my gateway to "wild" beers. I still have a bunch of it in my closet. I will now ration them even more!

    Green Flash Brewery closes Virginia Beach facility. Green Flash based in San Diego has announced that they are closing their Virginia Beach production facility and have also stopped distributing to MD, DC, and VA. I always liked their beers, especially, Rayon Vert (I still have bottles of this in my "cellar"). Anyone want to chip in the $20,000,0000 they want for the facility? We can open a brewery and quit our day jobs.

    I picked up carryout the other night before the impeding storm. I noticed that the Filipino spot next door was closed and that there were building permits posted in the windows. I asked the person who helped me at Big Wang what was going in and he said that they were taking over the space and were essentially doubling their size (which is already on the large side). He said they will be open in about 2 months and will have an expanded menu.

    My absolute favorite on that list is Pho Shizzle!

    Does a shop named Pho Sho exist or Pho U?

    The Washington Post says goodbye and looks at grieving over when your local haunt closes.

    How about Big Deal Gadol Maod?

    If I was opening an Israeli restaurant, it would be called Balagan.

    Nope, I was there on 1/19, Obamas were there on 1/17. I wish that was the excuse.

    A couple of weeks ago a friend and I walked up on a Friday in the hopes that we could snag a seat at Brother's and Sister's. As we walked up the front steps, we were "greeted" by two large bouncers, who when we told them we didn't have a reservation, boxed us out, and wouldn't let us even move further up the steps of the property and told us to leave. I guess a 40 year old lawyer is very scary looking and not the demographic they were going for. It was very off putting, I don't really know what the purpose was of the treatment, perhaps, they could have just told us they were fully booked and we should try for another night. I know it was Friday, soon after opening, but it was a pretty rude treatment.

    Bethesda magazine is reporting that Helen has decided to call it quits.

    When done correctly, the results are very tasty.

    Perhaps it is time for a new thread. Tim Carman reviews Alatari Bros in the Post. Perhaps it is time to check it out.

    Although a huge company, Total wine is a local company with headquarters in Bethesda.

    I could be wrong, but I am pretty sure that Offshoot isn't distributed anywhere other than through their own retail stores or their website. I am going to head there later this week to pick up my first allocation. Can't wait.

    We got a new firewall at work so I can't get a link, but they are now in a soft open mode. Grand opening is to be announced, but a date in January 2018.

    Don Rockwell thread. I really like Big Wang FWIW.

    I should have read your warning before watching!

    That video made me very hungry. Nothing like that around here.
