The weekend will see you now.
Our eyes are set on one thing: the Super Bowl. For your snacking pleasure, Perks is hooking you up with bacon bourbon caramel corn (yes, it’s as delicious as it sounds) and your choice of three moonshine-infused salsas or barbecue sauces. And to complete your experience: surround sound speakers.
The DC Grey Market is back. Which means two things: 1) an afternoon of sampling and taking home stuff like Bacon, Egg and Hash Brown Pie, barrel-aged maple syrup and homemade jelly donuts; and 2) DC bureaucrats will not be seen (except maybe undercover).
The forecast for Saturday evening: about 45 degrees. Perfect for hitting a few range balls. In a swimsuit. With a tiki drink at the ready. You’ll help raise a little dough for charity, but you’ll be a little cold doing it, because beachwear is required. So bring a camera.
It’s almost Super Bowl week. Which also means it’s almost Meat Week. Yup, the annual nightly festival of BBQ is back, where you and other carnivores hop from ’cue joint to ’cue joint. The highlights: a benefit concert at Hill Country and a Saturday gathering in a Safeway parking lot.
Your beer. It’s good. Yet it’s still missing something. Yes, a hint of whiskey. No more, as DC Brau releases the first keg of its Penn Quarter Porter, aged in whiskey barrels from the nearby Catoctin Creek distillery. Everything’s better aged in whiskey barrels. Even whiskey.
You’ve closed down the bar. And the after-hours bar. Good thing you can still get a burger with Jamaican habanero peppers. Black & Orange is expanding to 14th—and those doors will stay open from 11am to 5am every day. Cheeseburgers: the cornerstone of any nutritious breakfast.
