Why pick! We're having both!

I adore sweet potato fries! Especially served with honey or a homemade honey butter. YUM!

Growing up there was one place that had them and I still go back there every time I’m home just to get them. I’ve been very happy with the recent proliferation of places offering them. It’s nice to go out and grab an order with a nice glass of wine over some good conversation!

Keep the sweet potato fries coming, I say!

I can only speak for myself… I *hated* vegetables until I was 25. And then I got into cooking again (thank you Iron Chef). And now I try everything with an open mind. I find I like LOTS of things I used to hate (like mushrooms and asparagus).

Still filet. I'll add peppercorn crusted just to change up my comment.

Filet, it's the first cut of meat that I actually enjoyed.

Boring, but filet for the win!

We discovered the Roadhouse one Saturday when picking up our pre-game tailgating sandwiches. We actually had time and read all the publications/ads that we usually pick up and then throw in our suitcases. Suddenly our day-after-the-game plans were made! What a great place! A totally different feel than the deli and yet the same commitment to quality food and service.

Make sure to do a wine tasting there. Besides loving the availability of quality wines, not only by the glass but by a half pour, order at least one of their cheeses as an accompaniment. Not only do you get an awesome cheese, but the homemade accoutrements (oven baked raises and hand made crackers) are excellent!

It makes me wish the commute from DC wasn't quite as far!!

I eat alone most week nights. But the easiest, for those exhausted nights, is a good old fashioned grilled cheese. Sometimes with tomato soup, sometimes not (it depends on exactly how lazy I'm being).
