We first let you know that Two Hands Seoul Fresh Corn Dogs would be coming to Westfield Wheaton Mall back in Novermber, 2020. We are now being told the restaurant is expected to be open in February of 2022.

The Korean Corn Dog restaurant will be taking over the former Tevana space located in the mall’s upper level.  Two Hands currently has locations in Centerville, VA and Houston, TX.


MoCo

This week we’ve got two more recipes from the 1988 Montgomery County Fair Cookbook.  If you have any MoCo themed recipes for us to try, send them to [email protected] and we will share them here. If we end up using your recipe, we’ll send you a nice gift! Next week we’ll moving away from the retro style dishes and we’ll be doing recipes provided by the Montgomery County Beekeepers Association.

The cake was a little dry, but that was expected. The form held up well when I flipped it out of the pan (I’ve made traditional Pineapple Upside Down Cakes where I wasn’t as fortunate.)

New Burger Concept, Frank Burger’s Place, Coming to Wheaton

Frank’s Burger Place is hoping to have its doors open for business by the end of 2020.  Owner Chef Pedro Matamoros told us that he wants to bring a fresh and local burger place to the area that doesn’t cost a fortune.  “We don’t want to charge $15 for a burger like the other places.”

Last year we shared with you that Hook & Reel, a Cajun seafood restaurant and bar would be making its way into MoCo with two new locations.

The Gaithersburg location opened a few months back and we have been provided an update on the Wheaton location, which will be taking over two vacant storefronts between Party City and the old Bar Louie spot.
