Great Story Out Of Prince George’s County

By MCS Staff

Born in Suitland and raised in Largo, Nicholas attended Dr. Henry A. Wise High School in Prince George’s County, Maryland. He was expelled from high school and was eventually locked up at a juvenile detention center for burglary at age 16, but he persevered and ended up graduating high school with a 1.8 GPA.

He started his college education at Prince George’s Community College. “How am I supposed to get in the other joint with a 1.8 GPA?” he joked on Twitter, as he responded to a couple negative comments tweeted his way. He earned an associates degree and was accepted to the University of Maryland Eastern Shore where he earned a Bachelor of Science Degree in criminal justice and graduated Cum Laude.

Burgerim Is Coming To Wheaton Mall!

By MCS Staff

They sell mini-burgers (not sliders) using 2.8 ounce patties that are larger than a slider sized patty. Their selling point is variety, and there’s plenty of it. They offer 11 different types of patties, including beef, dry aged beef, Wagyu beef, merguez, Turkey, lamb, chicken, salmon, veggie, Spanish beef, and falafel.

Their disc shaped fries are more like slices of potatoes, but they also provide the option to get sweet potato fries (in the traditional shape), onion rings, or home fries (cubes potatoes tossed in chili sauce and topped with sesame seeds).

Sunshine Burger: Best in MoCo Or… Overrated?

By MCS Staff

Many call the Sunshine Burger from the Sunshine General Store in Brookeville (some call the area Sunshine, between Olney and Damascus) the best burger in Maryland– but not everyone agrees…

I think it’s a very good burger. I can’t definitively tell you it’s the best in MoCo or Maryland without doing more research, but many will tell you that it doesn’t get better than the Sunshine Burger. When I made a post this past summer, referring to it as the best burger in Maryland, Olympic gold medalist Kyle Snyder disagreed. “Couldn’t be more wrong” he tweeted. “Overpriced burger that is a 6/10 at best. The high expectations I had for it hurt the rating” he continued.

Filippo’s (formerly Marchone’s) in Wheaton

By MCS Staff

A few weeks back I stopped by Filippo’s in Wheaton to try one of their Italian cold cuts, but made it about an hour after they closed on a Sunday. Today I made sure to come while they were open and got to enjoy what many people refer to as the best cold cut in MoCo.

I ordered two items, the cold cut and the panino, based on the recommendation of the young lady that was working behind the counter. As I ordered I spoke with a gentleman that was waiting for his sandwich to be made. He informed me that he lost 42 pounds in 3 months from eating all of his meals at Filippo’s. Not sure what he was eating, but I’d love to get a hold of his diet soon.

10 Restaurants In MoCo Where Time Stands Still

By MCS Staff

Some of my favorite restaurants in MoCo are the ones you step foot in and feel like you’ve entered 1991. The food is usually really good, but you’d never know it by looking at the restaurant from the outside. The bar is often filled with the same regulars that have been taking up seats for decades. I don’t want to call them “divey” cause there’s a negative connotation that comes with that and most of the time these places hold some of our favorite memories (all images via the Restaurants Facebook pages).

Here’s 10 of them:

Pandora Seafood House & Bar

By MCS Staff

Pandora Seafood House & Bar has been open since mid-October. It’s a very beautiful restaurant that is open for both lunch and dinner (special lunch menu). The prices are fair for the quality of food you will be getting, as entrees range from $20-$30 each. They also offer a couple non-Seafood dishes in case someone in your party is anti-Seafood 😊. I was told the bread is the only thing not made in the restaurant.
