 So after my last post, i spoke about the soul rolls at Urban BBQ. This is a real treat, Beef Brisket/cheese served with chili. its a guilty pressure but so worth it. Angus Burger's "Razor-back Pork burger" which had colesaw and pulled pork (Worth it). Anyone who wants a great BBQ joint to check out and somewhere were you dont need to sit for 30minutes for your food, this is a Quick BBQ Joint serving it Right!

 This was a nice change from the Urban BBQ that most people are familiar with. It was good burgers with a huge variety of toppings or sides. I had a Chili 2 alarm burger, Which was a chili burger with a special sauce. The only downside is that they dont have all of the same BBQ items, Pork or the Soul Rolls from Urban BBQ. this place is hidden from everything else, however i think they want to expand their market. If your by the area, its worth trying.

    Flipping Pizza is a small joint in Bethesda, right off Democracy Blvd. And they serve a New York style pizza with fresh ingredient and no artificial stuff.  They have great deals on pizza, 2 slices and drink for 5$ which in this area is worth it.

    Now the only down side of this tasteful pizza, is the dough doesn't have much flavor. Its a classic new york style pizza with a healthier appeal. I enjoyed the toppings but i felt limited to create my own pizza. I recommend stopping by if your into classic New York Pie.

So i wanted to try a new joint in Bethesda, Cava Mezze Grill, Which was a weird throwback to chipotle. To be honest it had the same layout for how they serve the food. Think about going to Chipotle but them serving Greek Food.

Aside from thinking i was at a greek chipotle, the food was a real treat, because they serve classic meat like lamb, chicken, pork, and beef. So i wanted to try the  lamb in a bowel. Their bowel had a descent size serving, however they made up for it in favor. The lamb was full of favor, yogurt sauces were diverse.  i would recommend this place if you were on Bethesda Ave. in the mood for something new.

This place is a real treat for Real Spanish Food!!! every thing is cooked over a wood fire grill and you can taste it in every bite. The food is rich with favor but its not lost in the craziness of trying to over favor food. The chefs take and showcase the food to its most raw form. Here is a picture of what i mean and funny to say, i almost forgot to take a picture due to the fact i almost ate it all before i remembered

PS. The Tacos are a high point for this place... rich and full of favor... However they have expanded their menu and its so worth trying. Ive been here 10times.. Trust me, some of the best Spanish food.

Update!!!

Hey! sorry i havent been keeping up with my blog as much as i would like but during spring break im going to revamp my blog and the posts. Im looking at Placing pictures of the new places, however if i dont have the opportunity to try out a restaurant i will show you new and exciting recipes to try out!!!

So this weekend i got a chance to try out one of Maryland's iconic restaurant's well at least for those who know of it. I went to the Hershey's Restaurant.... It was nice to find a hidden treasure and when you enter the house in which this place is located, you find yourself back in your grand parents old house. It had a old school home town cooking feeling. I ordered the fried Chicken and coleslaw... Now i must say that it has a nice crispy skin with a lot of favor; however what i didn't enjoy as much was the salty taste from the batter. I was a nice favor but it depends on how you like your chicken. P.S. their Fried Onion Rings kick *ss. Try it!!!!


I would that its a great place for a home cooked meal but be ready to wait 30mins for your chicken to be prepared. I still think the General Store in silver Spring has a upper hand.

Finding a cuban resturant in this area can become very easy, however truly dining on authentic cuban food is a completely different story. But i have found one in burtonsville, MD..
Ok aside from it being hidden it has some of the best cuban food in the area... NO Joke!! Ive been heading back to this place several times... Family Loves it.

the Empanadas has such great favor and cooked to a golden brown perfection. The other items like the shrimp platter was incredible. I would recommend checking this place out but the only downside is the price, so i would take advantage of the lunch specials... however it definitely has a returning customer

Top Things to EAT!!!
Garlic Lemon Shrimp 
Grilled Chicken 
Empanadas Chicken or Beef.. (cant go bad)

Sorry i havent responded lately but ive been crazy busy with school, however i did get a chance to check out the general store in silver spring and i must say that it is worth going. I had the famous fried chicken which i thought had a super tender juicy taste ( a mouth full rite) and the sides were definitely filling. I plan to head back soon and try their other items.. Ooo if you get a chance to stop by you must try any of their sweets... sugar high... :)

P.S. I have an Update!!! The General Store is Closed... Idk when their going to move but for the moment doors are closed

New joint!

So this weekend I'm hitting up a place called "The general Store" in silver spring.
It's been featured on the foodnetwork channel several times, however I want to make my
Own choices.. It's a southern food hotspot!!!! Been rated best fried chicken in Maryland -- which Is something I wanna see for myself. Let you guys know how it turns out or if it lives up to the hype.
