Have a Food-filled Weekend!
Posted by The Editorial Desk / Friday, August 12th, 2011
It’s been a long week and I hope you guys saved some room in your stomach for these yummy events.
Truckeroo III is today! In case you missed the previous two gatherings of food mobiles, here’s another chance. There are over 20 food trucks to choose from so there’s a little of everything for everyone (you can see all of the food trucks who are participating and their live twitter feed here). The event is scheduled to operate until 11 p.m. but some food trucks may run out of food before then. Be forewarned, a water bottle does cost three dollars and you will be stopped at the entrance gate if security sees you carrying a water bottle in. Located at Half and M Street, Southeast Washington D.C.
Saturday is National Filet Mignon Day! A filet mignon, taken from the tenderloin of a cow, is the tenderest cut of beef and it reflects in its price. Luckily for us hungry diners, some restaurants will be giving a discount in celebration of this piece of meat. The Main Street Pub (7140 Main St., Clifton, VA 20124) will be taking $2 off of their filet mignon for today and tomorrow, and Lost Society (2001 14th St. Northwest, Washington D.C. 20009) will be taking 20% off of their filet mignon for tomorrow. Both restaurants too far of a drive? Feel free to cook and eat a filet mignon at home to celebrate.
End your weekend with free frozen yogurt! Josie’s Frozen Yogurt (10625 Braddock Road,
Fairfax, VA 22032) will be hosting a summer bash this Sunday. Free frozen yogurt will be given out from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., a scavenger hunt will start at 2 p.m., get your face painted in between 1 p.m. and 4 p.m., and there will be a live DJ and raffle drawing from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m.
Happy Friday!
