  1. I don't think that would be possible -- the spice mixes are each in a big shaker or something like that, so level 2 is level 2, code red is code red, etc. Now maybe you could order a sando with half level two, half code red. That might be worth a try if they'd let you. On my last visit I dropped down considerably from Code Blue to Level 2 and still found Level 2 to be quite hot. Same delicious, massive, juicy breast.
  2. Glad to hear Lupo is still good. During our recent visit to RB, our Sodel choice was Matt's Fish Camp in Lewes. Here is what I wrote on Yelp: 4/5 stars 9/8/2020 Really enjoyed our dinner from Matt's with one glaring exception: the heirloom tomato salad was just awful. Big random chunks of cottony tomatoes were appealing to neither the eye nor the palate. Everything else was up to Matt's usual standards. Just avoid that salad!
  3. Nice pics and report. I noticed a can from Solace Brewing, one of our many fine breweries here in Loudoun Co (just a couple miles from Chez Wells). Did you like it?
  4. I think the target audience is people who used to eat meat and miss the taste. Can't see who else would want one!
  5. LOL I once made a special trip to visit Route 11's old location in Middletown VA. Unlimited samples of chips!
  6. Thanks -- we had a zPizza for a while, then Manhattan Pizza bought z and turned the local z into a Manhattan, which is the very definition of mediocre. There's still a z in Gainesville, I think. This is not a great pizza area. Marco's is fine for takeout. For a destination I guess Mellow Mushroom is our go to. For something a little different, this place in Old Ashburn is good: https://www.chicagospizzatwist.com/home. The twist is Indian flavors. A bit out of the way but one that we have enjoyed is The Dons in Cascades. https://www.thedonspizza.com/ Most definitely worth a drive is Ciao in Centreville. http://ciao-osteria.com/ If you've lived here for a while, you might remember American Flatbread in Broadlands. Really good, but I think it was ahead of its time. Their frozen pies are available at Harris Teeter. https://americanflatbread.com/
  7. Thanks for the intel. We have a Badd Pizza nearby in South Riding -- I'll make sure to order the pizza well done.
  8. Standard american fare, good happy hour appetizers. Certainly better food than crapplebees!
  9. Damn -- I'm so old that I used to hang out at Mountain Jack's (the predecessor to Applebees).
  10. Thanks -- makes sense since the menus have the same price and number of courses. If I had to pick one, it would actually be the vegetarian menu.
  11. We stayed at the Foster-Harris House a couple years ago, just before the prior owners sold to the current owners. It was great then and apparently is at least as good now. Definitely a possibility!
  12. Following! We are going soon as well, to celebrate anniversary and Mrs W's new job. First time at IALW after being aware of it for 40 years. About time!
  13. Was able to make a visit to the Spout Run location yesterday. That is some very good takeout pizza. I got a mushroom and an Allegra (chicken and red pepper). Perfect for a lunch. Can never resist picking up a couple bags of Martins chips either, but I did resist the Berger Cookies on this visit.
  14. Greenheart also has a delivery service! In addition to their wonderful juices, I really like the cold brew with cashewmilk.
  15. Update: The Aldie Country Store was sold and completely renovated in the past 1-2 years. Nice, airy place with great breakfast foods and donuts (the maple bacon are already famous). Also in Aldie, since goldenticket posted this Brassica's came and went after a nice run but it is now a location of Greenheart Juice Shop (I think the Brassica's guy sells produce to them) and their juices and other concoctions, while far from cheap, are really something. Little Apple Pastry Shop also is still alive and well in Aldie, and the weekend market at Gilbert's Corners is crushing it -- Arno's Pastry, Pit Stop barbecue, the salsa guy, Wegmeyer Farms fresh made donuts, kettle corn, sometimes lobster rolls, sometimes ice cream, sometimes Greenheart is there too. Just a great little group of vendors. Fresh produce in season of course too.
  16. On the flip side, some people are saying he is actually much sicker than "mild symptoms" they are admitting to would indicate, in light of his cancelling the one call on his busy schedule today and his failure to call into Fox News.
  17. Interesting. Joe's was a regular choice for their buffet lunch during my 16 years working in East Falls Church. Always liked their old-fashioned floppy pizza.
  18. I concur in Ulrath's description. It's not especially cheap but it's good for a big group that includes picky eaters. Perfectly adequate.
