Family Meal

East Street Diner Update
Just noticed that the Volt blog was updated with some information and pictures on the new diner project that they are working on. Interesting transition from car dealership to diner. Blog entry here.

The Wine Kitchen
Wherein I break my own rule and review a chain restaurant. I know this does not really fit my criteria of a chain: there is one Wine Kitchen in Leesburg and they opened one in Frederick last month. If you have been … Continue reading

Danielles Closed
Just saw that Danielle’s restaurant at Shab Row shut its doors for good. There was some indication they were going to try something different but apparently now they are just plain closed. I remember when the space was occupied by Tauraso’s. It … Continue reading

The other day I stopped by the new Frederick Wine House location at the Wegman’s shopping center. I’ll do a full review of that later, but while I was there I noticed the Coal Fire Pizza restaurant located just a … Continue reading

Sumittra Thai Restaurant
I have never been to Thailand. I have never stayed at a Holiday Inn Express either, but I have eaten a lot of Thai food around the United States. It is my favorite Asian cuisine hands down. The reason why … Continue reading

Il Porto
Il Porto reminds me of a good offensive lineman: just solidly doing their job over and over without much flash or fanfare. I’ve eaten at Il Porto twice in recent months and both times came away with the same attitude: … Continue reading

Sumittra Thai Cuisine
First of all I really had no intention of doing this review. A full review on a brand new restaurant isn’t fair to anyone. However last Thursday we were walking downtown, hungry and decided to see if the new Thai restaurant … Continue reading

Proof is gone
More closings. Proof the bakery/sandwich place on East Patrick Street is closed. The windows are covered with paper. The good news is that the sign says a Thai restaurant will be opening soon. I look forward to giving it a try.

Mediterranean Grill Redux
I have reviewed this place before here and I really liked it. I continue to visit and last week had a wonderful lunch outside enjoying the unseasonable weather. They have redone their menu and added some new options. For once I … Continue reading

Caballo Viejo
Just saw that Caballo Viejo is closing. Did a review of it back in 2008. Sorry to see that it is going. I wonder if our tastebuds have been too ruined by tex-mex to appreciate authentic Latin cuisine?

Washington Post Reviews Black Hog
And it wasn’t good. Tom Sietsema didn’t like it very much calling the food “mixed.” In fact he says the best thing is the service: “At Black Hog, a new barbecue joint in Frederick, the service is warm but the food … Continue reading

Volt Party
Was walking up Market Street yesterday and saw that they were putting up some big tents on Volt’s grounds for what I assume will be a viewing party for the Top Chef finale. Snapped this crappy picture with my cell phone. … Continue reading

Coal Fire Pizza- A Non Review
I really love pizza and I have talked about my fondness for the stuff here before. My strong preference is for thin crust New York style pizza. In fact it’s fair to say I loathe the Chicago deep dish style. So a couple of … Continue reading
