Shouk, a Plant-Based Street Food Restaurant, is Having its Grand Opening in Rockville Tomorrow (Tuesday, November 16th)

By MCS Staff

Back in April we let you know that Shouk would be opening two MoCo locations. Tomorrow will be the first of the two openings, as the Rockville location will have its Grand Opening at 5568 Randolph Road in the Montrose Shopping Center (in the former Spring Mill Bread Co. location next to MOM’s Organic Market) at 11am.

Located just off Rockville Pike in a 2,000-square-foot, 20-seat space, Shouk Rockville will serve the same menu of plant-based, certified kosher street food available at its other locations, including the award-winning Shouk Burger, featured on the Food Network and The Washington Post. Inspired by the world’s liveliest street markets, Shouk’s food is crafted from fresh vegetables, beans, grains, and lots of spices; no labs, nothing processed or engineered. Shouk Rockville will offer carryout, delivery, and onsite indoor and outdoor dining.

This morning we were told by a reliable source that Chipotle would be moving in to the recently closed Little Caesars location in the Briggs Chaney MarketPlace shopping center.

Little Caesars closed the Briggs Location early this past summer and many local residents have wondered what would be taking its place. We are told the location would be a walk-up/drive-thru only Chipotle, which isn’t common in the area.

By MCS Staff

In 2020, a number of Burtonsville residents realized many underprivileged children in the community would not experience the same holiday experience many local children have due to the struggles many had during the pandemic.

A number of Burtonsville residents decided to do something about it– they organized a group of volunteers to collect toys for children in need.

Behind The Decision to go With CropDusters as The Olney Baseball Team Name

By MCS Staff

After months of internal discussions and community polls and votes, the Olney Community Baseball Group has decided on a name, CropDusters Baseball.

“It was really important to us to have the community involved throughout this whole process. The community spoke, and we listened. We also thought the name had a unique connection to the local history of farming and agriculture of Olney, while also recognizing the comical side of the satire meaning that will allow us to be unique and marketable. This name came to be after the community vote, and numerous conversations with players, collegiate coaches and other summer collegiate teams who are doing some fun and exciting stuff around the country. We spoke for hours with the owners and coaches of the Savannah Bananas, who urged us to make the naming process community driven, but to make sure that there is a fun element involved also. We think this name gives us that opportunity. Our sole focus is going to be on fan experience and making sure everyone who comes to the park leaves after having a great time. We’re going to have farmers markets at home games, local beers on tap, bales of hay around the park to sit on. It’s going to be an awesome experience.” said Brian Brewer, General Manager of the team.
