(P.S. Sorry for the lack of posts lately. Beach vacation, baby with double ear infection, and stomach bug that spread like a wildfire through our house kept me out of commission)
My first time at @Wagshals and I’m already hooked. Here’s to hoping for an expansion into Bethesda!
Eater DC just reported that Luke’s Lobster, one of NYC’s famous lobster houses, will be opening up their newest location at Bethesda Row this Thursday, June 14! On their menu, you’ll find lobster, shrimp, and crab rolls, along with other goodies such as clam chowder and whoopie pies. They’ll have a large 20-seat outdoor patio, perfect for these summer days. Can’t wait to try it out!
Last month, I blogged about Silverspot - a luxury movie cinema opening its first non-Florida location in Bethesda’s Rock Spring Centre development.
Well, looks like there is room in town for one more luxury cinema theater! ArcLight Cinemas, which currently only has locations in California, has chosen Bethesda’s Westfield Montgomery Mall as its first location outside the state of California. Construction on the cinema will begin in 2013, with a grand opening planned for 2014.
Some of ArcLight’s many amenities include reserved seating, a full service bar and cafe, alcoholic beverages allowed during certain shows, and filmmaker Q&A events.

If you’re hoping to plan a beach vacation this year, a great opportunity just came knocking. JetBlue just announced that they’ll be offering new nonstop service between Washington Reagan (DCA) airport and San Juan, Puerto Rico (SJU) starting in late August. To help kick off this new service, they are offering discount fares of $109 per segment! See additional details and book your trip through JetBlue.com.

I went into The Queen Bee, a new Greek restaurant in Bethesda Row, for a quick lunch this afternoon. Even though Pastitsio (the menu item that originally led me to The Queen Bee) was removed from the menu, the lamb entree was a deliciously succulent replacement. The lamb, grilled and marinated to near-perfection, was served with a rice and orzo pilaf, a side of lemon and herb oven-baked potatoes, and house-made tzaziki.
This is definitely a restaurant to add to your list if you enjoy homestyle Greek cooking. The recipes have been passed down through generations, and all menu items (down to the dips and sauces) are made in-house.
My lunch was fabulous, and I’ll definitely be back to The Queen Bee for other Greek specialties. See Yelp Reviews here.
Finally got to try @GoFishTruckDC shrimp tacos at the Potomac Village Farmers Market today, and it was everything I had hoped it would be and more.
Found an awesome place for a quick El Salvadorian breakfast. It’s called Delicias, and it’s a take-out place at the corner of Wisconsin and Highland Ave, right on the outskirts of downtown. We ordered the ‘fried egg’ breakfast and an order of pupusas. The eggs were cooked with tomatoes, onions, and peppers with a delicious red sauce laced in, and served with rice, beans, and a thick tortilla. The pupusas were amazing, and served with a traditional cabbage slaw and salsa. Delicias has a large menu, and you’ll certainly be seeing more from them on my blog.
I’m loving the menu at @QuenchNation, Rockville’s newest restaurant, opening today at 4 PM.
The brunch menu looks incredibly unique (not your typical omelet and pancake menu), and packs a powerful punch. Some of the brunch standouts:
Some of the dinner standouts are:
NOTE TO QUENCH: If you can take the green tomatoes in your kitchen, beer batter them, fry them, and serve them with a goat cheese or remoulade (or any other spin you’d like), you will be the ONLY restaurant in this area to serve fried green tomatoes. Trust me, I’ve looked. I think fried green tomatoes would suit your menu well. I need them in my life, and right now, you’re my only hope.
