This past summer we shared that two Maryland restaurants (the top two) were included in a list of the “Best Crab Cakes in the U.S.” by Food & Wine magazine. Our staff tried both, as well as a few that readers recommended, and made our decision for The MoCoShow’s favorite crabcake (photos below).
Below is a list of restaurants and businesses that will be coming soon to Gaithersburg, MD. (more…)
Back in September we let you know that L&L Hawaiian Barbecue will open its first Maryland location right here in Montgomery County at 785 Rockville Pike, Suite G, in the Ritchie Center (Rockville). The restaurant is now in its soft opening phase with a ‘first look’ video below.
As 2024 winds down, we wanted to share with you some of the most-read articles of 2024. This article was originally published on May 12th, 2024, when we made a visit to Philadelphia, PA to try 18 different cheesesteaks.
Over the course of four days, during a trip to the cheesesteak capital of the world (Philadelphia, PA), we tried cheesesteaks at 18 different restaurants that are often mentioned as having “the best” cheesesteaks in the area- including the $140 cheesesteak from Barclay Prime. Below you’ll see a little more information about our process, followed by our big announcement at the end:
This past summer, Tara Thai closed its Rockville location at 12071 Rockville Pike in Montrose Crossing permanently. THAIROCK is now open in the space– a restaurant by the owners Thaisons, located in Falls Church, VA.
Since its opening in 2019, Pumpernickel & Rye in Urbana has established itself as a must-visit destination for deli lovers in Frederick County. The innovative deli offers a fresh take on classic favorites, featuring house-made pastrami, roast beef brisket, and smoked turkey, and now it’s operated by Montgomery County’s Jonny Allen, who is the founder of Pizza CS and CSNY Pizza (1020 Rockville Pike).
At the beginning of this year, USA Today went on a mission to find the best new restaurants. To find them, the national newspaper asked a panel of food and travel experts to nominate their 20 favorite new restaurants that open led in the past year. Then, readers voted for their top picks to determine the winners. The Farmhouse Bistro at the Crossvines (16601 W Willard Rd, Poolesville, MD) made the list at #9 in the country. Video of the experience available below.
Gourmet Inspirations, which opened in 2014 after taking over the location that was previously home to Good Fortune (2646 university Blvd W.), will close permanently on January 1st. Cam Rahn Bay, a Vietnamese restaurant connected to Gourmet Inspirations with the same owner, will also close.
Tuan Vo is the proud owner of Phowheels, a unique Vietnamese culinary venture. Raised in Montgomery County, he attended White Oak Middle School and Springbrook High School, and currently resides in Burtonsville. Construction has now begun on the DMV’s first drive-thru Vietnamese restaurant at Burtonsville Crossing (it will also feature the option to dine-in).
Mackie’s Barbecue opened a little more than a year ago at 5500 Olney Laytonsville Rd in Olney (most recently Umberto’s). The restaurant has made quite an impact in the community in the last year and is the only restaurant in Olney to make Yelp’s 2024 “Top 50 Places to Eat in the MD Burbs” list, which focuses on restaurants located in the Maryland suburbs.
