New Food

I very much like to eat.  It's a thing - let's move on, shall we?  Anyway, because of this, finding new restaurants is one of my most favorite things to do.  This weekend, we found not one but 2 fabulous places to eat - one in Virginia and one in Maryland.

First up was FireWorks Pizza in Leesburg.  It's a brick-fire pizza joint in a super-cute hipster area of Leesburg.  There are about 5 other restaurants in the area that I also want to go back and try too.  Because it's a hipster area of town, everything was organic and very fresh.  We started with garlic cheesy ciabatta and it was delicious.  I decided on a flat-bread with garlic and fresh marinara dipping sauce. Also, quite yummy!  The best part was sitting outside on their deck - it was such a beautiful day! There was supposed to be a bakery around, but we could not find it anywhere.  Other than that, it was the perfect lunch!

Then after a few hours - when lunch had worn off - we had dinner back in Maryland, at Volt's Family Meal.  Now technically this wasn't new for me, since I had eaten at the Family Meal in Baltimore.  However, since it was the first time I had eaten at the one in Frederick, I'm calling it new. This time was better than the time in Baltimore too, because we sat at the counter.  It wasn't my first choice at all, but after getting the chance I've decided it's pretty darn fun.  We were able to chat with the bar-tenders and watch all the hustle and bustle of food and drinks coming out of the kitchen.

And the food, oh my goodness, it was delicious!  For appetizers, we had deviled eggs - not my favorite (because deviled eggs in general are not my favorite) - and Chicken Pot Pie Fritters, which are just as to die for as they sound.  Dinner was fried chicken and a biscuit and catfish.  And dessert were chocolate earl grey donuts - so delish!  Though, I'm pretty excited to get back there again, and try the giant plain donuts that were being made for today's brunch.  

New food days are just so much fun!
