2010 Relish Trivia Challenge

Posted by The Editorial Desk / Thursday, December 16th, 2010

Break out those thinking caps, Gut Checkers!

(And it might not hurt to have a few back issues and/or our features page open. But you didn’t hear that from me).

Now, the rules of the trivia challenge are pretty simple.

All the restaurant-related trivia questions were derived from the past 12 months of reviews. The first 10 people to correctly answer all 10 questions–please send all submissions to warren@northernvirginiamag.com–will win a gift certificate to one of our participating restaurants. In the case of a tie, we’ll pick a winner at random from all the correct responses.

Submissions will be accepted until noon EST on Monday, December 20.

You ready? Then have at it!

2010 Relish Trivia Quiz:

Question 1: At what local gastropub was I unexpectedly greeted (and perhaps professionally “outed”) by a high school chum?

Question 2: What 50 Best Restaurant bowled me over with homemade donuts and sumptuous dipping sauces?

Question 3: What local hot dog haven cooks all their wieners in Dale’s Pale Ale?

Question 4: What LoCo bbqpreneur boasts a homemade hot sauce forged from 17 fiery peppers?

Question 5: Which Bavarian-born butcher treats his clients to seasonally-inspired spiessbraten?

Question 6: What ice cream oasis saved an ill-equipped fellow bicyclist from certain doom?

Question 7: What exurban cafe pads their signature paninis with pairings like bacon and apple or peppermint and Nutella?

Question 8: Which Tunisian restaurateur takes great pride in his Merguez-based mezze?

Question 9: What Crystal City eatery’s fish tacos did I feel completely floundered?

Question 10: Which licentious bingo caller showers patrons with vintage Barbies and off-color humor?

In order to avoid any confusion, please make sure to tag all responses with the question number (Q1, Q2, Q3, etc.) you are attempting to answer.

Good luck!
