Pepperjack's, Owners Andrew and Lauren Granzow in Scaggsville

[Heather]

The Washington Post Food section highlights Pepperjack's, owned by a couple of local guys. Have any dr.com folks tried this place?

From the article:

Walk into the store and your eyes rivet on the bright yellow menu panel with its 30 varieties of subs. The list includes the six-inch Stromboli sub ($4.29), a collection of toasted salami, ham, provolone, onions, peppers and tomatoes. The top seller (and Granzow's personal favorite) is the roast beef signature ($4.49). "You don't often see places put fresh mozzarella cheese and balsamic vinegar on theirs," he bragged. The other crowd-pleaser is the Italian cold cut ($4.29). It's stacked with goodies such as Genoa salami, ham, provolone, and oil and vinegar.

Also on the menu are milkshakes and snowballs.

I have no comment on the food, but I note that the name violates several well-established rules of restaurant nomenclature:

Rule 101.1(a): "No restaurant shall be named with the possessive form of an inanimate object."

Rule 104.3(a): "No restaurant shall adopt a name that incorporates gratuitous and meaningless references to 'peppers', 'spices', or 'hot[ness]'. (See also Rule 105.2, prohibiting usage of 'Senor' or 'Captain' in restaurant names.)"

Rule 105.6(a): "Unless one of the restaurant's proprietors is actually named 'Jack,' the name 'Jack' shall not appear in the name of the restaurant."

And, of course, the cardinal rule:

Rule 100(a): "All restaurant names that sound as though they may have been used in Office Space are strictly prohibited."

Cute. They were only 21 when they started the business and probably hadn't heard of "the rules".

Well, I know this is nine-years later, but Andrew and Lauren got married, does that count as an update?

I live near there now. I'll try it out this summer and update you all.
