Al Dente Posted May 24, 2005 Share Posted May 24, 2005 It always rains on days when I am able to go to the Grill. This understanding can be extended to all things.Anybody going? Wish I could, but it's just too damn far for me. Though I am considering occupying a barstool somewhere tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gastro888 Posted May 24, 2005 Share Posted May 24, 2005 ...Han Sung in Ellicott City. (A 13-course Chinese banquet and a picnic this weekend required a couple of days of rest before another excursion...) We're thinking of gathering at 7pm. It's located at 3570 St. John's Lane, at Frederick Rd... You MUST try their hwae du bop - raw fish on rice dish. It's like chirashi on acid - oh my god, they make the best one in the area. Fantastic... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLK Posted May 24, 2005 Share Posted May 24, 2005 I'm having dinner with a friend I haven't seen in a bit and she suggested - what else - Palena. She is craving the chicken. Anyone know if it's open tonight? I read (re: Sorriso) that it was closed last night w/o explanation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacques Gastreaux Posted May 24, 2005 Share Posted May 24, 2005 This is an actual invitation I received by email this morning. I onlyl wish I could attend: Gentlemen—Please find the attached flyer announcing the first ever DU Piscataway Creek dinner. We are having a kick-off event at arguably the most redneck bar left in PG County on Saturday, June 25th. It is a great little watering hole nestled in between a trailer park….it’s perfect! Since this is a new chapter, the cost for a ticket is a modest $40.00. That includes Carolina barbeque, fried chicken, salad, and all the cold beer you can drink. The event will run from 7-10 pm, and then after we will resume the festivities at my place in Accokeek where everyone is welcome to stay over. As with all DU events, we will have alcohol, tobacco and firearms. PLEASE pass the invitation on to as many people as you can. Anyone who you hunt with, or rookies who are just getting into it. If you have any questions, please let me know. If you are going to come, please rsvp to me. I hope you can all make it as this will surely be a good time in an environment about as far away from DC as you can be, but only takes 30 minutes to get there!! Thanks. The question arises whether the bbq is Eastern or Western NC style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FunnyJohn Posted June 3, 2005 Share Posted June 3, 2005 (edited) Is there a whim du jour? I fed my whim last night at Firefly with a few other Rockwellians. Sampling the delicious white wine (what the hell do you call that grape -- petite Carbou??) that was on offer from Wabeck and also the South African reds that jparrott brought around to try + fried oysters . Tonight I may stop by Harry's in Clarendon or maybe I'll just go home and give my liver a rest Next week....

I might hit the paella festival at Jaleo in an hour or so, though. There is a distinct lack of anything to eat in the house.
