    Where are you traveling from? Are you parking on site or trying to take Metro or something else? How much time do you have pre-event? FedEx isn't Cap One Arena or Nats Park or The Anthem or other spots where you just pop in somewhere for a meal before an event. FedEx consumes your life for hours before and after the show/game. If you're parking in the FedEx lots grab Gus's or Popeyes fried chicken on the way and tailgate. Or maybe the Carolina Kitchen in Largo is passable? Other options further afield depending on travel and route -- stopping in Hyattsville (Pizzeria Paradiso, etc) then 410 over to Landover or even something on Capitol Hill if going via Metro (leave a lot of time for train and the mile walk to FedEx property from Morgan Blvd station).

    Of course. But relevant for the fact that it probably shows that the bar (and other spots) inside The Line probably won't be cooling off in the near future. Hype is hype, baloney or otherwise. (I haven't been to The Line and don't have a take, though I do like other offerings by their food and drink proprietors)

    That much square footage for a doughnut shop seems... not wise. Though a comfortable all-day cafe with coffee, doughnuts, sandwiches, arepas, desserts, etc does sound okay. Still not a lot in the margins to pay the rent.

    I've noticed a drop in quality the last couple trips to the Rockville outpost. My kids love it, but the last time their mini-burgers were burnt. Visit prior my chicken pesto pizza was super bland, had been reliably good before. Service still very friendly but a bit off in timing -- particularly with getting the check and out of there with little ones. Cooking and execution used to be better than what you'd expect from a restaurant group chain, now it's probably around par.

    Went this evening after a family bbq -- great. Hadn't been since it was confirmed this was the real deal recipe and it's as good as it always was. I got mango (ice cream, not sorbet), delicious and not cloyingly sweet. Very rich, milk fatty ice cream with a natural mango sweetness - not too much. Made better by going with a cousin back in town who joined me on many York Castle evenings as kids. Tonight we took our kids.

    Seems like they're going to aim that focus on the MGM restaurant (and the original Frederick places). Maybe not a bad idea.

    I've never had a problem with the finish. Obviously serving conditions are important but I've enjoyed pretty much every one I've had. Related: Churchkey had Two-Hearted on cask once and I honestly think it was the best glass of beer I've ever had. I love hoppy American ales on cask if they're well made. You get the hop notes without the C02 upping the sting. A mellower finish. Don if I ever see it on cask there again, I'll alert you.

    Two-Hearted is a national treasure. Thank you for your time.

    Mac is an industry vet. Not sure about the Chophouse but he was a longtime Flanagans bartender/investor/operator. I'll check it out. I'd be happy with a decent bar set up, Wheaton can use one (Limerick's bar area a bit too small). Not really concerned about food when you have Ren's, Ruan, etc, etc before and after drinks.

    Here's word of something new --

    Even if these places aren't perfect, they'll still be huge additions to Silver Spring. Looking forward to hitting the bar to try it out.

    Closing (Washingtonian, Anna Spiegel, 3/12/18). New concept coming.
  20. Kev29
    Yes. See: tourists in NYC and Southern California with Shake Shack and In-and-Out respectively. It may seem crazy to you, but it happens a lot.

    I'll check in on the soon-to-be-reopened Quarry House and report back on the burger.

    Don, thankfully I'm here with my "very particular set of skills" Pork pie - think, firm pie crust with hard packed ground pork filling and (typically) aspic. Usually served cool or room temp. Middle English classic, more of a historically classic pie. Sausage roll - softer, sometimes puff pastry with uncased breakfast sausage inside. Usually in a square/rectangle. Served warm or cool.

    {not sure if joking but} That's the aspic http://www.reallynicerecipes.com/recipe/pork/pork-pie

    Drove by Rock Creek Kitchen today and there was a closed sign in the menu display. Yelp seems to confirm.
