Delicious Deal: The Majestic

The restaurant: The Majestic

The deal: On Sundays through March, The Majestic is celebrating St. Patrick’s Day with a multi-course, family-style Irish feast for $22 per person.

The deets: The family-style Nana's Sunday Dinner at The Majestic is one of my favorite regular deals around town. This month, Dublin-born chef Cathal Armstrong and Majestic chef Shannon Overmiller honor the Irish with a menu of roast leg of spring lamb, garlic scalloped potatoes baked in lamb stock and whisky rice pudding for dessert. Call 703.837.9117 for reservations.

Yumm. I cannot wait to try this. What exactly does an "Irish family-style feast" entail?

Are there any other local restaraunts (not counting Maggiano's) that serve family style meals? I think this would be really fun with a group.

Also, I totally misinterpretted a vacation tweet. Thought the blog was going in a totally differnt direction

I did a post on Sunday family style suppers about a year ago. You can find it here.

Commonwealth does a nice Sunday roast with big platters of (often local) meats and sides. Westend Bistro was doing a Sunday dinner a year ago - need to check if it's still offered. And of course, Majestic has one every Sunday.

Also, 1789 has gotten into some less formal dinners, doing special meals that are served around a big tables with the chef. Stay tuned for a post on their next one.

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

ENTERTAIN } For The Love Of Salt

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...
