Win Tickets To EatBar's Beach Bash

Metrocurean's generous friends at EatBar have offered up a heaping helping of tickets to give away to their third annual Beach Blanket Bash on June 11.

Why enter? From noon to 3 p.m., EatBar's turning its patio and parking lot into a retro-inspired beach party with surfer tunes, water wings, and bikini cut-outs for photo ops.

You'll be treated to tastes of 25 wines (included with your ticket) and executive chef Barry Koslow will serve a beach-themed menu including fish tacos, Red Apron half-smokes, boardwalk fries, handmade salt-water taffy and funnel cakes, all available for purchase.

TO ENTER: Leave a comment below by June 7 at 4 p.m. I will announce 12 winners (that's right, 12!) who will each receive two tickets (a $50 value!) in the comments at 5 p.m. that day. Winners must email me at metrocurean@gmail.com by June 8 at 5 p.m. to claim the two tickets.

Kowabunga, dudes!
I would like SO appreciate being Gifted 2 tickets to this soiree. My girl loves Funnel Cakes. I am down with the sand, sea, surfer music and seasoned slimies from the deep, washed down with chilled whites and cool roses. If chosen, I will sport a muscle shirt, beach shorts, black Speedos and flops, in tribute. Hoping for some Little Deuce Coupe while screening Beach Blanket Bingo & hanging ten.

I love the Neighborhood Restaurant Group. Buzz is my home away from home.

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

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...
