Welcome to Glover Park

YAY, Nick has arrived...in more ways than one. Congrats on the UVA graduation, new job, and living in the best DC neighborhood, Glover Park. Thank you mom for the nice treat of lunch at Wagshal's (technically outside of our 'hood, but so close). I didn't take many food picks; some highlights were brisket, pulled pork, and BLT sandwiches. Julia and I had the hot bar. The gelato and Berliners were a hit. Kangaroo update: Steven enjoyed it! He made mom and Nick try it and they said it was OK.

New meat this week out of the normal rotation is boar. For an anniversary gift, Steven bought duck leg confit and it is amazing. I've had two this week and not shared any with anyone. The fattier the meat, the better in my book. Or as Chad aptly stated, "I'm a chubby chaser."

Thunder Burger

Thunder Burger is a delicious burger joint, especially if you want to try something off the beaten path. 
 
We have been here several times (including it because we went just before starting the blog). Steven has enjoyed the elk, boar, and bison burgers. Julia and I usually get the premium, free-range, 8oz beef burger with fries/salad and customized toppings (tomato, charred peppers, raw red onion, grilled red onion, mushrooms, red peppers, caramelized red onion relish, cheese, bacon, guacamole, BBQ pulled pork, avocado, fried egg...and more).
 
One time we were there, they had run out of sweet potato fries--so they comped the regular fries.

Recommendation: Try the elk, boar, and bison! Beef burger is a sure bet!
