Kibbee Nayee Posted July 17, 2011 Posted July 17, 2011 I have posted a few reviews of Le Bledo and Dalat Bakery on Backlick Road in Springfield. It's a bakery, with real weeding cakes, a few prepared food items, some really good banh mi, and a lunchtime sort-of buffet and sort-of cafeteria style assortment of Vietnamese offerings -- you pick one or two mains, and the rice and the sides come with it. The kitchen also provides pho and a few other menu items. Its business is mostly daytime, centering around breakfast and lunch. So, ktmoonau and I have kicked around the possibility of setting up a lunchtime rendezvous for a handful of DR eaters who may be convenient to the area by virtue of living or working nearby. Our first suggestion is July 26th, and I would push for an 11:45 start to grab a good table in the limited seating area before the workingman's crowd assembles for one of the best lunch deals around. [For example, if you go with a banh mi and a soft drink, you will only need to bring a $5 bill and you'll get change.] We are open to other dates and start times, so please chime in.
Kibbee Nayee Posted July 18, 2011 Author Posted July 18, 2011 No replies yet, and as luck would have it, I have a meeting in Rockville at 11:00am on the 26th. So, how about anyone interested propose a date, probably in August, and let's see if we can drum up some interest...?
ktmoomau Posted July 19, 2011 Posted July 19, 2011 I could do the first two Tuesdays in August, the third and the fourth I am not available.
MrGroo Posted July 19, 2011 Posted July 19, 2011 I can do the second Tuesday in August. Does that decide the date?
Kibbee Nayee Posted July 20, 2011 Author Posted July 20, 2011 We're zeroing in on the second Tuesday of August....any others?
thistle Posted July 30, 2011 Posted July 30, 2011 I might be able to make this one, w/kids, maybe (they're older, 12 & 16)-it sounds like fun, I'm still bummed that our local Vietnamese bakery only does bread, pastry, & donuts-no banh mi
Kibbee Nayee Posted August 1, 2011 Author Posted August 1, 2011 We're about a week away, and so far we have.... Kibbee Nayee (that would be me) ktmoonau MrGoo (welcome!) thistle + 2 Not bad for a Tuesday lunch. Anyone else ... ?
ktmoomau Posted August 9, 2011 Posted August 9, 2011 Well, thistle+2 and Kibbee Nayee made four, and a nice meal was had. I'll allow thistle to comment on the soups. I devoured two banh mi for a grand total of $6, one being a roasted pork and one being a meatball, and I prefer these over many others I've had from here to Falls Church. Looking forward to returning.... Shoot, sorry I got caught up at work and forgot about this. It was supposed to be a calm week, but that always means chaos.
