Welcome to the new blog in town.

Welcome to our new blog to discuss all things Falls Church Dining…All things except restaurants that you've heard of. In the Thurber household, we have often discussed the fact that although there are many different restaurants in the greater FC area, we have probably only tried about 10% of them, due to either comfort level, proximity, or possibly their outside appearance. Falls Church also seems to have a particular abundance of these sorts of seemingly unnoticed, uninhabited or unappealing establishments scattered throughout its suburban streets. Well as you know, you can't judge a restaurant by its cover, and so we've decided to begin a gustatory journey through the highs and lows of Falls Church dining. We want to know what is behind the doors of these strange and mysterious places we so routinely pass right by in our daily business.

Rules are as follows: 1) The restaurant must not be well-known and it must NOT be a chain. 2) It must be in or very near FC proper. 3) It must have passed sanitation grading with an F+ or better. 4) There must be at least a possibility of it being really weird and/or really bad. We will break down the potential locations into different categories and rotate assignments each week. We will also begin a "guest of honor" program in which we invite a guest along for the ride of his or her night, provided they don't have other rides that night. Check back for more updates starting Wednesday, 4/22, including our first visit...the journey is already underway!
