Captial City Brewing, H Sreet, Washington, DC

 I loved the tender batter.  It had flavor.  The chicken was juicy. The fries were OK.  The location was by China Town.  The kids workbook was just OK.  It had mazes and Tic Tac Tow.  We parked at a meter right in front, and we just had enough change for one hour!

Editors Note:  They had recently run out of their seasonal pumpkin ale.  That is a crying shame. 

Taste of DC Festival, Pennsylvania Ave Washington, DC

After visiting the Smithsonian Museum of American History, we saw that the Taste of DC was happening on Pennsylvania Avenue.

We bought chicken wings at a stand.  The wings were juicy and tender.  I really like the batter they put on it.  And the little portions were very good.

Next we bought fried oreos.  They were good because they took some regular oreos, coated them in something, and put them in the fryer.  Then they game out as these oreos that are breaded, but they had oreos in the middle.

Dad got into the fun by trying the pulled pork and nacho cheese covered tater tots.

Little sister was happy to meet the Washington Capitals Eagle, who shook her hand and gave her a high five.  She kept calling him a big, big, chicken.

Delia's Pizzeria and Grille Sterling, VA

The hot chocolate tasted like heaven.  It had whipped cream on top and it made the top of the hot chocolate creamy.  It is as good as the hot chocolate at the Village Inn in Riverview, Fl, which is the best.

The chicken tenders were also good.  The french fries has a batter mix which made them really good.  This place is known for the best pizza in the DC metro area.

Editors note:  The menu says the Discovery channel filmed at one of their locations and named them best pizza in DC.

Santini's New York Style Deli Sterling, VA

The tenders were not very good.  They didn't have much seasoning.  They were bland.  They were certainly out of the bag and not home made.  Next time I will try the pizza, which looks good.

Mad Fox Brewing Falls Church, VA

We went to Mad Fox Brewing Company and the chicken tenders are heaven.  I would grade it A++++++++++++++++.  All the tenders were moist and home made.  Not out of the box.  The batter had a very good seasoning.

The french fries were hand cut.  Little sis who is a fry expert thought they were too soft.  Maybe too salty.

The home made root beer was sweat tasting with not much pop.

These tenders are tied with Sarasota Brewing for best tenders ever.

Washington Nationals Park

The tenders were soft and the fries were very, very good.  They were just right.  The Sprite was spectacular because it tasted so good.

Editors Note:  Dad does not share this opinion.  These were standard out of the box frozen chicken tenders fried by volunteer vendors and appropriately overpriced for the ball park.  The Sprite was watered down. 

Gordon Biersch Brewery, Tyson's Corner, VA

I loved the home made root beer.  It tasted like real genuine root beer not like you have every day.  What I didn't like was that they put pepper on the chicken tenders.  They were still good.  It added a spicy taste. They were very, very big and made from scratch, not from a box.   The potato chips were O.K.  They were home made, not the regular potato chips you would usually have.  They did not have much salt or seasoning.  The restaurant is very nice too.  And I like their fries.  I did not get a chance to play the games on the Kid's menu, except for a maze and a drawing.
