Red Hook Lobster Truck Finally Hits The Streets

After a few false starts (oh, the Twitter teasing!), the Red Hook Lobster truck started serving its first lobster rolls today. And from this photo sent to Metrocurean by a reader, people are A LITTLE EXCITED!!

Looks like that line could give Georgetown Cupcake's a run for its snack money.

After standing in line for an hour and realizing I was only two-thirds of the way through, I had to give up and go back to work. I am so heartbroken.

The line was crazy. By the time I left it had almost wrapped around Farragut Square and unfortuanetly could not try the roll.

When I walked by around noon the line was even longer than this picture. It stretched all along the second side of the park!

Wow, I'd be heartbroken too, anon. All waiting and no tasty payoff. Looks like the truck got a majorly warm welcome to the District!

No disrespect to a fantastic new food truck, but my head immediately skips the "hook" and reads "Red Lobster Truck."

heehee - maybe the chain should get into the truck biz too. ; )

(It's named for the Brooklyn neighborhood where the original restaurant is.)

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

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...
