Big Eats, Big Laughs

We got to have a grown-up evening out last night. For the first time since we've had kids, we hired a babysitter to go out. Having to pay for a babysitter cranks the price of a night out quite a bit, but it was worth it to have a relaxing evening out.

My brother-in-law Michael and his girlfriend Amanda introduced us to this place they've been talking about called Friendly Farm. It was awesome! First of all you go in and order your main dish, the crabcakes came highly recommended by both Amanda and our babysitter so Jen and I both gave them a try along with a small steak. Then we were seated at our table where they took drink orders. Along with the drinks came big bowls of rolls, apple butter, cottage cheese, cole slaw, peaches, and a relish tray to our table. When the main course was presented the table was once again filled with bigger bowls of french fries, corn, green beans, and more fresh rolls.

The crab cake was out-of-this-world. One of the best I've ever had. Jumbo Lump and hardly any filler (if any), the cake was huge and hardly held together and very tasty! The steak was good too. The fries were awesome and even the corn was good. I'm not a big corn dude! The best part was when one of your bowls got empty they would refill it for you! That's good eats my friend! Mike and I put away a second bowl of fries by ourselves!

This place is in Upperco, Maryland....if you know where that is or your up for the challenge of finding it it's worth a visit for a slightly unique dining experience and some great food.

After diner we saw Talladega Nights which is as funny as everyone has told you it is. Perhaps the biggest and most laughs since the last Austin Powers flick. There are some great performances by some familiar faces in supporting roles. Since there are no opening credits it was a surprise to see all these actors, and I won't spoil it for you. But, for those of you that sit through all the end credits...You will be rewarded!
