Downtown Silver Spring

It was announced a few weeks back that he would be bringing Tacos, Tortas, and Tequila to Silver Spring to occupy the old 8407 Kitchen Bar spot (https://mocoshow.com/blog/tacos-tortas-and-tequila-coming-to-silver-spring), but he recently announced that he’ll be bringing an unlimited small plates program, similar to the one at his popular D.C. restaurant Ambar, to the second level of the location.

Burna Vida will take over the second story and offer all-you-can-eat tostadas, empanadas, steak, poblano peppers, Oaxaca cheese, and a lot more for just $35.


MCPS

To honor him, the Montgomery County Council gave him a proclamation to recognize his extraordinary achievement. Councilmembers Tom Hucker, Nancy Floreen, and Craig Rice are pictured with Andrew as he receives his award. Andrew decided to have some fun and formed a circle with his fingers as he holds the award. When I asked him if this was done on purpose he replied with “the finger placement was intentional 😊.” More on that in a bit.

Andrew’s winning project was about designing a protocol to secure long, complex auctions that take place online. This provides security from malicious third parties and also prevents bidders from cheating auctioneer and vice versa. This field of study is known as cryptographic auctions.


North Bethesda

The sign outside reads “Hank Dietle’s Cold Beer” and there’s plenty of it inside. You’ll also find a pool table, arcade games, and vintage bar furniture, but you won’t find any food aside from chips and peanuts.

Down the street from Pike & Rose, and close to where White Flint Mall came and went, Dietle’s hasn’t fit in for many decades, but has managed to outlast almost everything around it.


Gaithersburg

Jon can be found at Growlers from open to close almost every day the restaurant is open. He gives it his all and that’s why I wanted to work with him and Growlers to let you all know about the great things happening since he’s taken over.

1. Growlers is in the process of being able to brew their own beer again. Depending on the timing of the licensing it can take anywhere from sox weeks to six months to happen, but I’ve been told it’s definitely something that’s coming back (we have a surprise for you when it does!).
