The Capital Grille Chevy Chase

With several locations across the country, The Capital Grille in Chevy Chase dispels the myth that gracious dining can only be experienced in an environment of gridlock, or that a perfectly prepared, dry aged Porterhouse accompanied by a flawlessly chilled Stoli Doli is an urban-only experience.  Featuring dry aged steaks and a wine list of over 350 labels, The Capital Grille is a classy restaurant great for business meetings, romantic dates, or celebration dinners. Closest Metro is Friendship Heights.

At Home: Crock-Pot Chicken Noodle Soup

This second installment of What Micky Eats...At Home features an experiment by Keith.  We've had some blustery cold days this January (as well as unseasonably warm days - what's up with schizophrenic Mother Earth?), so this morning before leaving for work, Keith thought he should bust out our Crock-Pot.  He threw in a leftover roasted whole chicken, water, herbs and some veggies and said "Let's see what happens..."

Summary: After a second day of beach, we decided to just have lunch at one of the beach side cafes. Not sure if this is the actual name, but we saw it was associated with one of the Hotel Viva's (there is Sunrise and Tropic - not sure which the restaurant actually belonged to). Nonetheless, we were able to be seated right away and they had nice large umbrellas to shade from the sun. Our server was very busy, running from table to table, but it did not seem as though we had to wait long for our food. I really enjoyed my salad - a fresh change from the normal meat and potatoes, however Keith got something completely different than what he wanted due to the language miscommunication. I insisted he ask them to switch it, but he settled on eating it anyways. He also did not particularly like the gazpacho soup - it tasted too much like salad dressing.

What I ate:

Mixed Green Salad with Chicken

with sliced apples, tomatoes, parmesan cheese, topped with a creamy sesame seed dressing

Plus Keith ate:

Gazpacho

chilled tomato soup served with croutons, chopped onions and chopped peppers

Chicken Kebab Sandwich

served on a pita bread with a picante sauce
