cheezepowder Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 Yes, bookluvingbabe got it! The floor is paved with pennies (apparently 799,997). http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/going-out-guide/post/the-winning-number-of-pennies-on-the-floor-at-lincoln/2011/07/18/gIQA3yRQMI_blog.html I ordered from the build a biscuit section of the brunch menu. I got the eggs, fried chicken, and sausage gravy. I like brunch there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John William G Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 The dishes shown in the photo I posted are pork satay, butternut dumplings, and Plak Pla, which is fish nuggets with lemon grass, shallots, and a dressing. The restaurant has only been open about a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Hersch Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 And if you guess my burger, my sloppy-toppy burger It might THESE LYRICS SUCK AND CAN'T EVEN BE PARODIED. I dunno. One of Dave Barry's entrants in his famous "worst song" competition made a pretty good effort: You can tell my lips, or you can tell my hips,that you're going to dump me if you can; But don't tell my liver, it never would forgive her, it might blow up and circumcise this man!

Josh Radigan Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 It looks like the burger plate/container is resting on top of manilla butcher paper.

Night Owl Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 I schlepped to meet a friend for lunch. It wasn't fancy, but my sandwich was pretty darned tasty. There's a distant tie to Gifford's for any longtime locals who remember the good ole days -- though I think that tie is to more recent (not great) days. Where did I dine?

KMango Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 Good luck with this one...think waves... This one was way obscure...it's Pelon's Baja Grill in Virginia Beach, on Pacific Avenue. Best shrimp tacos on the planet; the pineapple salsa and chipotle cream sauce over thinly-shaved cabbage knock you out with bold flavor magic. During $5 Margarita Mondays, you receive a fishbowl of a punchin' strong beverage featuring freshly squeezed lime juice. Hence the sideways picture in my post. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
porcupine Posted May 25, 2013 Author Share Posted May 25, 2013 No one will get this, because the pic was taken about 300 miles due north of DC, but I post if with another question: what is stunningly right in this picture that so many DC-area restaurants get wrong?
