Ike Grigoropoulos (Gaithersburg High School), Ted Xenochristos (Paint Branch High School), and Dimitri Moshovitis (Quince Orchard High School) founded Cava Mezze about a decade ago.

“Muhammad Ali helped me realize that being outspoken can be a good thing.” – Robin Ficker
He’s definitely outspoken. Robin Ficker’s name is synonymous with local elections. He hasn’t won since 1978, when he was elected to the House of Representatives as a Republican (he has run as a Democrat, Republican, and as an independent candidate), but he is confident that he will get this one.

Here are my personal thoughts/rules:
As you may have heard a few months back, the fast casual restaurant that started as a food cart in Manhattan is finally making its way to MoCo!
Initially founded as a hotdog cart in 1990, The Halal Guys made the switch to chicken, gyro meat, and pita two years later. The first brick and mortar restaurant opened in New York in 2015 and the company hasn’t looked back since opening over 20 stores worldwide, as nearby as Virginia and as far as the Philippines.
My tour started with a tasting at Moorenko’s, a place that I believe has the BEST ice cream in MoCo. I tried all 30 flavors they had on hand and in a couple weeks I’m going to give you an in-depth look at what Moorenko’s has to offer.
As we continued to walk, we passed Denizen’s. Denizen’s is a local brewery that I also visited a few days before this tour. When I went, it was a warm day and I got to enjoy two very different beers on their patio. The Gruit and the Big Red Norm. It was a good time and a fun place to hang out for a bit.
