Thunder Grill Service Needs Improvement

I am in DC for work and decided to go check out the Christmas decorations at Union Station.  It was decorated as well as I thought.  This year they had a theme, Christmas in Norway.  It was sponsored by SAS and had some interesting information on the country.  I don’t get the display they had on penguins though.
I decided to go back to a restaurant that I have been to a couple times before, Thunder Grill.  This is a southwest style restaurant that has pretty good food.  But there is a problem, the service is less than desirable. It took forever for my food to be brought out and then had to ask for a desert menu and then for my check.  They also did not keep my water glass filled, even though they kept asking if I wanted another beer.

The food is great, but if the service does not improve they will be in trouble.

Clyde’s Crab Cakes Rock!

I am in Washington, DC, for work this week and even though it is tough to be away from the family, it is nice to be able to go out to some nice restaurants and have a nice relaxing dinner without kids screaming throughout the meal.
One of the treats I enjoy is to go to Clyde’s in Georgetown and have crab cakes. Nothing beats these yummy lumps of crab. It was served with green beans and a mixture of cubed red potatoes, cubed sweet potatotes, and green peppers.  It was a wonderful dinner.  Also, nothing beat the desert.  It was Griddled Pear Gingerbread with Vanilla Ice Cream with Caramel Sauce.  Mmmmm!

If you are in DC, this is one of the restaurants that I would recommend to visit.  It is located in the heart of Georgetown on M Street, just west of Wisconsin.

Can’t beat the beer!

You can’t beat beer. It is the world’s best drink. And it doesn’t get any better this weekend in Denver with the Great American Beer Festival.
The 25th Annual Great American Beer Festival brings over 1600 beers and 380 breweries for a wonderful weekend of tasting beer. It is wonderful to attend taste all this great beer and share this with thousands of other people who also enjoy beer. It is a wonderful celebration in the state that has the largest number per capita microbreweries in the United States and some of the best are located right in Denver.

The INHD shoe Beer Nutz just profiled Denver on their show. The come to towns around North America looking for its biggest Beer Nut. They had a wonderful time and hit some of the greatest microbreweries in the city. Congrats to the owner at Falling Rock Tap House for being named the cities biggest Beer Nut.

You can’t beat the beer in Denver. More reviews and discussion of beer to come.
