Back in Love with the CW

Back in Love with the CW

Just HAD to try again, and try some different food.  Glad I did!

Took another girlfriend.  We were advised that there would be a wait of about 20 minutes for a table (after the last experience, I immediately checked my watch to see what time it was and see what time it would be in 20 minutes).  We found seats at the bar.  I immediately ordered us each a vodka limeade.  Every bit as good as I remembered!  Friend was just as enamored with the concoction as I was. 

Friend had the “Eagle” pizza (a “cheesesteak pie with shredded beef, mushrooms, onions, and mozzarella).  As I write this, I realize it’s probably named in “honor” of the Philadelphia Eagles football team.  As a lifelong fan of the Washington Redskins, I feel the word “honor” in the previous sentence should be in quotation marks.  It’s my blog, afterall, and I make the rules around here.

She also had a  side order of French fries.  Hey, if you’re going to overload on carbs, you might as well do it up right!  She loved her pizza every bit as much as I thought she would.  She ate half of it, then said she’d save the other half for lunch.  But as we continued to chat, I noticed that more and more of her pizza went from the plate to her tummy.  Just too good to resist!

I had a “Kentucky Brown”….sourdough bread piled high (and I do mean HIGH) with roasted turkey breast (like, “real” turkey, not the stuff they CALL turkey at the grocery store deli), bacon and white gravy.  I started digging in, and was in hog heaven.  My request for a little extra gravy was quickly granted.  I ordered a side of sweet potato fries.  I declare them to be the best I’ve had in Virginia. 

There was no way on God’s green Earth I could eat all that food on my plate.  So I did manage to bring home a good-sized portion of my sandwich and some sweet potato fries to reheat for lunch.  Not sure how well the fries will “translate” when reheated, but it’s totally worth a shot.  (an update-as expected, they did not adapt well to the microwave.  They came out mushy, but still tasted good)

Another vodka limeade a piece later, our bellies were full, we were all caught up on each others’ lives, and were happy happy happy. 

Still looking forward to brunch there!
