Wednesday's Delicious Deal: Matchbox

Fans of Matchbox know what "3.6.9" refers to — the addictive and juicy mini burgers, served in orders of three, six and nine. The numbers adorn Matchbox t-shirts and even the company truck, pictured above.

And because this Friday is 3/6/09, Matchbox is honoring the numerically significant day by slashing prices on their mini burger batches from $8/$14/$18 to ... $3/$6/$9. That's a buck apiece if you're keeping track. Friday only ...

Matchbox are great for the brioche-ey sliders. I just wish DC still had some Little Taverns where you could get REAL sliders. Would it kill them to open a Krystal or a White Castle in DC?

Being someone who has never actually had the privilege of trying a White Castle slider (growing up in Castle-less NC), does the bread get all smushy? I have to say that's the one thing I like about fast food burgers - when the cheese and bread and everything fuses together...

I had a bad experience with White Castle in NYC. Well, not bad, just the "Now I've done it, no need to come back feeling". Buns were kinda mushy. On the plus side, I watched as they had some quality control. A badly mangled slider was dumped into the trash and replaced with a fresh one.

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
