I used to commute to/from Arlington for 2 years, I don't mind a little driving. I know that area pretty damn well.

Tysons is fine, I really have no problem swinging by and picking up Trey. There is Gordon Birsch or Chick and Wings.

arlington/clarendon hard times has expanded to upstairs and now has ASS LOADS of stuff up there. but still, I've been there. it's hard times. they serve chili. the end. lets go somewhere new and exciting.

somewhere with beers that dont end in "lite" or "dry" or "ice" or "lime" in the fridge. I'll eat a fucking salad as long as I can get 2 awesome beers in me.




edit: removed pickup offer because everyone else offered first.

My wife and I went there during our visit. Best wings we have ever had.
But that might not mean much to you fucking food snobs. My wife is pissed that we were not there the same time as Hustler. I told her he was just another fag among many others in D.C. She said she did not care, she just wanted to see his huge unit.

Quit being beer snob homos and land on a spot. I like the idea of Tyson's or something right off 66.

Sweetwater (Merrifield)
Gordon Biersch (Tyson's)
Dogfish Head (Fairfax)

I know, my food snobbery is unparalleled.

But apparently so is the hustlers. he says he didn't fly 1300 miles to eat at chili's.

I appreciate everyone offering to drive me around and show me off to your IRL-friends. I'm pretty adamant about eating at a local establishment. If I wanted to eat at Gordon Birsch or whatever, I could go home and drive 8-minutes to the same fail.

I'm fine with any ethnic food, or local bar trash food...but preferably something I can't get in anywhere america.

A proper man eats food cooked by a local, and drinks a local beer. I'll meet you guys at "Anywhere America," but I'm eating something exciting that I can't have anywhere else first...then we can meet up.

^Good, Buffalo Wing Factory. Flatliners. Enjoy.

sweetwater is local food, and it's full of win and has great seasonal beers. my vote counts for 1000, so it's pretty much the winner.

truph.

I'll pick an evnng tonight after some schmoozing. We're talking abou my career here

i'll do whatever, but god help you all if they have nothing on the menu that hasn't been dipped in hot oil.

Suggest CC Restaurant if you have a set.

Cafe Pizzaiolo if you want to impress with pretty darn good local pizza. I'm talking nice atmosphere, probably buy 1-get-1 free today, etc.

the sweetwater fried chicken fingers are the best invention since boost.

I know we are possibly going karting next Monday, but would Trey be interested in some Karting? We could see if he is really the amazing driver that he claims he is. All else fails its a great time to get some cheap karting. Then afterwards we go get some good Beer.

When are you going to be in Philly again? I'll drive you to Wawa.

Tuesday or Thursday is acceptable for the delegation summit...or both.

Not sure, but I want to hit that Dutch place in center city to gorge on mussels and piraat.

Awesome, I say Thrusday, 7:30-8:00ish, Sweet Water Annandale.


My wife will be out that night so I can't even bring my prelude....stupid altima.

That's the night that Hustler had sex with 4 girls and I was sexually assaulted somehow too.....


The restaurant is called Monk's. They have a beer bible and have something like 700 beers in stock. Dinner menu includes stuff like lamb, rabbit, duck, and some kickass mussels prepared like 10 different ways.

Monk's Cafe - The soul of Belgium in the Heart of Philadelpiha

see that's the shit I'm into!

Thursday is the way.

Brain - are you referring to the Sweetwater Tavern in Merrifield? Right off the Rt 50 exit off 495? BTW, your lack of food adventure by sheer mention of chicken tenders/fingers. :giggle::loser: Clearly, you are a man that takes delight in chicken chimichangas or what-have-you. :giggle:

y8s - we are not going to Philly.






At least until it warms up a bit. Name a few good beer places and let's set something up. One of the CDC autoxers and Subaru trainers (Jim R.) regularly comes over for UFC fights. He typically brings over these fantastic beers that I'd never purchase myself. He brought over a Blue Moon Grand Cru (sp?) that rocked. Also some stout that made Guiness taste like tap water. And I personally am happy with Yuengling/Miller Lite/etc.

Auto-xers are not welcome at this event, maybe you finooks can meet up in Dupont Circle. :giggle:

Listen track-boi, you're in our town now, bite your tongue lest we drop your candy ass off in SE D.C. like Bruce Willis in Die Hard:With a Vengeance.

Don't worry about getting beat by locals on our local track. Just like I wouldn't expect to beat you by more than 2 seconds at your local track(s).

/hate

So we now know that Thursday night is the night. So lets decide on a place to get drinks already.

let's drive to Captial Ale House in Richmond.

of course not, we have good stuff like that in DC and northern VA.

last night I ate dessert with esquire mag's 2009 chef of the year and the pig farmer from the story on the chipotle cups.

I like good food, what can I say?

We can't go to Sweet Water because Lar's wants to open carry and he can't in a restaurant with corporate policies....


someone just name a place.

you never know when someone must be shot in the face.

Sounds like Lars needs to learn about the Virginia Tuck.

Many (most?) restaurants in NoVA will be like that.

Balla!

A) How the heck did you manage this?
B) What do you do?
C) What article and WTF are Chipotle cups?
D) I want to dessert w/ people like that!



Sheesh, just friggin' put the gun underneath the car seat. Is it that hard? Just like dressing up for church/synagogue/temple/wedding/fancy ceremony?


My suggestions for hustler:

1) if we eat near his place - Cafe Pizzaiolo. Everyone likes pizza stuff. They've got some beers, gelato, etc. Plus, CC restaurant is 200 ft away.

2) Sweetwater Tavern- decent place (closer to me too!), beers, overall good.

3) Get some hot wings, make him suffer big time, get the runs the next day, the post up what a girlie man he truly is under the ethug image we all have.

4) Dinner and karting up in Sterling, VA (much closer for me now!). There's a really good wings place about 10 mins up the road (Main Street Wings in Ashburn). Also, there are some local places like Sweetwater Tavern (5 mins away, yay!).

5) Korean buffet. Brain, even you would love grilled beef. I know it's no chimichanga or a kaysaydilleyuh, but good eats in Annandale. Beer is pricey and Asian (like tall Sapporo can for $8).

6) Dogfish Head. Probably the one next to 7 Corners (off Rt 7 in Falls Church). Not my favorite place...but the beer has a kick. Food is hit-or-miss. Beer snobs like, right?

7) Ray's The Steaks or Ray's Hellburger.

then:



:giggle:

Well aware of the Virginia Tuck. Use it all the time when I go out. It is just Sweet Water's corporate policy forbids carrying inside their restaurants. So I try to avoid going to those places.

I have actually never been hassled OCing when out getting food. Which is very surprising.

Realistically we need to just pick a place and I will shut up and show up.

Ha

A) fiancee works on food issues. a farmer friend of hers was in town to tell congress what's what with overuse of antibiotics in livestock.
B) make high end virtual reality systems
C) chipotle is a burrito chain and they serve drinks in cups. These cups feature short articles on their internal processes. Read "people we're pleased to know part 2"
D) go to Blue Ridge in DC and ask for the head chef?

people in nice restaurants aren't very threatening. why do you need the piece?

I know what Chipotle is, silly! I was wondering if the cup was a new-fangled thing like an updated burrito bowl. This article...did you post it earlier? Pretty neat read. Perused it, I'll reread after lunch.

D) Hi, I know Matt Yates. Hook a brutha up with some good desserts so I can maintain my Man-Vs-Food figure?

B) That's soooo kick ass!

Could you guys stop slobbering on each others knobs long enough to name a place? I'm a dive bar guy, so I'm sticking with my Hard Times for some chili and wings.

see "Hell of a Hat" lyrics by the Bosstones.

We're going tothw firehouse place with all the beer. Please don't shoot me, I just rediscovered love.

She sent me this last night, (_o_)<|==|>((o)). Lol

Is that like an ascii rorschach? Looks like a butt and a vag with an arrow pointing both ways. Like you get to choose or something.

its double-dong DP.

She also provided this:
ASCII Art Farts: porn

and told me...
"/\/\¥ l€€+ $p34|< 5|<1llZ r |\|0+ +0 b3 +35+3D |\|00B"

wow

hopefully you've tested her for other things though

too bad you guys picked thursday... i have classes that evening, otherwise i would be there

sounds like you already went without the brain. :vash:


you still game for something with the rest of us fags tomorrow night?

Yes, still trying to chill on Thursday.

Then I officially decree that Thrusday be "National Hustler E-Crush Day"

And to celebrate we all meet at Sweet Water Tavern in Annadale, Va off Gallows/ Rt.7/ 495 @ 7:45

I have v-ball til 9, but I will come after. That does assume you all are capable of drinking more then 2 beers.

Scott has already said that he is getting root beer. I am pretty sure that automatically makes him uninvited to the party.

I will be there at 7:45.

no it makes him DD

i c wut you did thar

do I have to drive myself now?

no i dont care. we can listen to Atlas Shrugged on the way as that's whats playing on my ipod right now :) I'm sure you guys will LOVE that.

I was wondering about the avatar...finally clicks.

Either that's a cool new deathmetal band or people can wait and hope Charlize Theron gets naked.

Atlas Shrugged (2011)

Frank

Its always a good day when that happens.

Soo is this the final answer?

I'm more or less in... will be coming from Sterling if anyone needs a ride... (not a sexual event, btw)

Cheers,
M@
