So much white space. I've got 4 inches of white on the left and over 4.5 on the right. I dread what sort of ads that Chow is going to slap into the space.

Old

Crawfish boudin is apparently a thing in Louisianian cooking. I had an older co-worker from New Orleans who spoke fondly of it, so for him, not a stunt but a part of his food.

Use it as the braising liquid with sauerkraut? Since it's sweet, I'd cut it with some good stock and a little bacon fat.

If you visit H-Marts and Lotte grocery stores, they generally have food stalls. Try a few dishes to get an idea of what you might like. Added bonus, on Saturdays, H-Mart generally gives out samples of whatever they have on sale.

The theater is having a grand reopening this Friday after a renovation.

I second the farmer's market. I'd suggest the Frost Cafe for breakfast.

Culpeper also has Calhoun's Country Ham's. If you don't want to invest in a whole ham this late in the spring, I'd suggest getting some side meat and some sliced ham.

I believe Shoppers Food Warehouse has a section with frozen Goya products, so you might want to try their stores.

I have started asking for separate checks. Mostly because the person I was dining with has started insisting that a normal tip would be both of us tipping 50%.

Pret a Manger is on 11 and F. You could also try the bar at Chef Geoff's. It looks like it's just around the corner from the National.

The Herr's Old Bay cheese curls are really good too.

I think they maybe out of season by now. I got some at Trader Joes and Wegmans in Jan/Feb.

Tours Les Jours on Rt. 40 had melon bread last week. You might want to call and ask them which days they bake it.

The Drift Inn, but that's in St. Mary's County, and I'm not sure it's open yet.

DGS has it on their Passover catering menu. That's the best I can come up without outside of Wegmans.

There's an article in the Post Food section today about Peter Chang. Apparently the reason he kept leaving restaurants was due to a combination of his immigration status and not seeing eye to eye with the business owners. The article can be found here: http://wapo.st/1Csgfub.

My suggestions all come from visting my mom, so it's nothing fancy or trendy. I like Casselman Inn in Grantsville and I do not suggest Penn Alps at all. My mom likes the new restaurant at 4625 National Pike/Rt 40 in Markleysburg. I would give you the name, but I can't remember it. Also Rt 40 are Curt's and Lone Star. Curt's is uneven and I've never been into Lone Star. Which is probably a sign if my mom won't take me there.

Time Life Good Cooks has a book on terrines, pates and galantines. I haven't used it much, but it's a lot of fun to browse through. It's available used on Amazon if you don't want to go on a thrift store hunt.

IIRC, Herr's is the only one who actually has the license to use actual Old Bay on their products. Everybody else is just kinda close to Old Bay.

While we're on Old Bay, Herr's Old Bay chips and cheese curls.

There's Poets and Busboys in Hyattsville, but I prefer Franklin's so I've never been. Also, parking and access to that shopping center is a real problem.

I fully support Huy Fong Foods making a profit and hope they gouged Heinz for every bit of money they could get on this deal.

+2 Pearl River Bridge is my go to for soy sauces now, especially the dark. If you don't want to order them off Amazon, and you don't have a Chinese market nearby, I can generally find them in the larger Korean supermarkets.

I like New Kam Fong, but I think they do bbq better then dim sum. So, I'd suggest Hollywood East.

Total Wine in Laurel would be a good choice. Their website also says there's one in Towson.

Are you willing to take a bus? There are some near College Park, but you'll need to take a bus.

Plan B Burger Bar. Basically, fancy hamburgers.

You do mean the Air & Space on the Mall, not the Air & Space's Udar-Hazy Center out near Dulles? Because if you're headed out that way, I suggest the Bon Chon or grazing giant H-Mart off of Rt. 50.

If you mean the one on the Mall, I'd suggest Canopy pit beef in Ellicott City. Or maybe not. Try that on the way back for dinner.

How far do you want to go? I liked Drift Inn in Mechanicsville but it's a drive.
