Wednesday's Delicious Deal: Restaurant 3

Restaurant 3's scallops and grits

Ready for a bailout of your own?

Arlington's Restaurant 3 is now offering a Bailout Blue Plate special, Sundays through Thursdays during dinner. For $15.95, you'll get a selected dinner entrée created by chef Brian Robinson and a glass of paired wine.

“The blue plate has historically been a value-driven, belly-filling meal consisting of a meat and two sides,” Robinson says.

Dishes will include southern fried chicken with mac and cheese and greens, country-style pork ribs with a crisp Carolina slaw and roasted corn and potato salad, and cioppino, a San Francisco-style fish stew.

The Blue Plate specials will run at Restaurant 3 indefinitely.

Look for new restaurant deals on Metrocurean each Wednesday.

I live in the building and eat there quite often. The signs strewn about the restaurant clearly state that the special runs Sunday through Thursday 5 - 7PM. You are right, though. When they did the dry run of that special a month or so ago, it ran throughout dinner, but the permanent special is from 5 – 7. By the way, I love the scallops with grits!!

ENTERTAIN } For The Love Of Salt

Image
I'm bidding a reluctant adieu to summer on this first day of fall and looking back with fond memories on one of the season's highlights — our Summer Salt Fest at the Gordy's Pickle Jar headquarters. Ever since opening Salt & Sundry three years ago, I've been dreaming of a down-home party that celebrates all things salty. With the perfect partners in crime, Sarah and Sheila of Gordy's, and my phenomenal team at Salt & Sundry, we hosted a gathering of good friends and toasted our shared love of salt. The feast included fried chicken, boiled peanuts ( made by my husband !), Rappahannock' s Olde Salt oysters, deviled eggs topped with Gordy's Sweet Pepper Relish, and probably the best fried pickles I've ever eaten (yes, I've eaten a lot) ... Gordy's Sweet Chips and Cajun Okra dipped in roasted garlic aioli. There was crisp Virginia rosé from Early Mountain Vineyards , local brews from 3 Stars and DC Brau , and a watermelon cooler tha...

STYLE } Bar Styling Tips with Framebridge

Image
  I've always been noncommittal when it come to putting anything on my walls. Art? Photos? Prints? But what if I change my mind? Add the hassle of framing something and voila, a growing pile of unframed prints and photos gathers dust on a shelf. So I much appreciated a recent gentle nudge from friends at  Framebridge , a DC-based company that's making it easier and less expensive to get those pretty-if-neglected pieces framed and on display. We hung out at my place, whipped up some Green Hat gin and tonics, and I shared tips for stocking and styling your bar at home. (Any old table will do!) And yes, I actually put a nail in the wall and hung a print. Head this way for my full interview with Framebridge . Cheers! all photos by  Laura Metzler Photography  for Framebridge

Hello Cupcake Opens

Image
Cupcakes await the first customers at Hello Cupcake For a sweet spot in this final week of August, head to Hello Cupcake , which opens at 10 a.m. today at 1351 Connecticut Ave. NW. I had the chance to sample a few flavors with owner Penny Karas. The fluffy icing on the peanut butter blossom (above) is seriously addictive, and the seasonal root beer flavor is a delightful surprise with spicy root beer cake topped with vanilla cream cheese frosting. I'm going for a Velvet Elvis, banana cake with peanut butter frosting, next. There are gluten-free and vegan options on the menu, as well. Check out all the flavors here . Metrocurean photo
