Zabb Thai…It’s Delicious!

Once in the a blue moon you try a restaurant and are completely floored by the good food. Recently I had this experience and it was great! I tried Zabb Thai and I cannot say enough how delicious this restaurant was.

From the appetizers to their desserts you’ll be satisfied! When I had dinner at Zabb Thai I had the Fried Calamari for an appetizer, the Thom Ka Soup (my personal favorite) and the Chef’s Fried Rice with chicken.  Now I’ve never had a Thai dessert but this time i tried the Coconut Custard and I was completely amazed! This dinner was truly a yummy one!

Zabb Thai is located off of 11010 SUDLEY MANOR DR., you can call 703-392-9222 for more information.

Guac anyone?

Chipolte Mexican Grill has quickly become a favorite of mine. With their good tastes and inventive ways too , they are definitely a restaurant not to be reckoned with.

My  favorite dish at Chipolte are their burrito bowls. I enjoy their black beans and steak in my burrito bowl, the season on the steak is very good. Being opened for now17 years, you must know that Chipolte is doing something good.  What’s your favorite dish at Chipolte?

Manassas Lunchtime Concert

Gotta love the summer weather. But what makes this my favorite season, is “Lunchtime Concerts” in Manassas. Every Wednesday different artists play at the Harris Pavilion.

Tomorrow you can chill to the sounds of Doug Turner during your lunch break.  Doug has been playing blues,  rock, gospel, and country music for the last 35 years. As a performer and teacher, he’s played all over East coast and even Mississippi. He’s a professional folklorist by trade and learned his own style of music from mountain singers and urban bluesmen.

Are you going to see Doug Turner’s unique style of music tomorrow?

Cork It With Dad!
