DU-PAR'S HAMBURGER HAMLET BETHESDA BURGER AND MENU PREVIEW
If you're a fan of classic American food, this Saturday's grand opening of the new, 24-hour Du-par's Hamburger Hamlet, in Bethesda's Georgetown Square shopping center, is wonderful news.
While chefs on two coasts continue to confer on the final menu, let's examine the Du-par's menu at its existing Los Angeles and Las Vegas locations (which just happen to be two of my favorite cities in the world!).
You have some standard starters like crab cakes and chicken tenders. But you also have their signature Yellow Split Pea Soup, for something new and different.
24-hour breakfast may be the best part of Du-par's concept. Not a cheap diner-quality breakfast, but freshly made from high quality ingredients. Du-par's takes pancakes as seriously as I do. So seriously, that their secret pancake recipe is kept under lock and key at 6333 W. 3rd Street in Los Angeles.
One California touch is Knott's Berry Farm jelly for your toast. I hope they keep that.
One example of a morning Blue Plate special that sounds great to me is the Country Fried Prime New York Steak with 2 large, fresh eggs.
How about those burgers? Out west, Du-par's burgers are made with fresh-ground Harris Ranch grain-fed, all-natural chuck.
Du-par's will eventually compete directly with Bobby's Burger Palace up Democracy Boulevard at Westfield Montgomery Mall. I can't wait to try the Du-par's burger.
In California and Vegas, Du-par's offers the basic hamburger and cheeseburger. Beyond that, they have a Patty Melt, Bacon and Swiss Burger, Mushroom and Jack Burger, and Avocado and Bacon Burger.
One major part of the Du-par's concept that Bethesda is definitely getting is the on-site bakery.
Du-par's bakes pies fresh daily, and you can also order whole pies to go. These aren't just your standard apple and cherry varieties, either. Out west, Du-par's has a massive list of pies, and the ones that get my attention are peach, chocolate meringue, banana cream, chocolate cream, rhubarb, gooseberry, Southern pecan, and blueberry cream cheese.
As a brownie sundae nut, I'm pleased to report they have one on the menu, as well as classic malts and milkshakes. How about a Banana Split Boat? Can you tell I'm hoping the dessert menu stays true to its West Coast origins?
Frankly, I don't know how we lucked out and managed to get a Du-par's here in Bethesda. But I'm ready to test out the menu, and find out if it lives up to its storied, 70-year history.

BAKE BETHESDA A PIE CONTEST IS HOURS AWAY AT BETHESDA CENTRAL FARM MARKET
While Labor Day weekend is a time many relax, Bethesda Central Farm Market is offering even more than usual at today's market.
Stop by between 9 AM and 1 PM at 7600 Arlington Road (Bethesda ES) to pick up supplies - like premium, organic ketchup and mustard - for your holiday cookout.
The headlining event is the annual Bake Bethesda a Pie Contest from 11 AM-noon. While Chef Joseph Poupon and Bethesda Magazine food editor Carole Sugarman will handle the professional judging part, you will have a chance to try every pie after the winners are chosen.
Also here today: Mr. Divabetic, who will be wearing his "world famous fruit suit." He will be asking your opinion on healthy lifestyles, and you'll be asking him how he got that name, and about his fruit suit, I suppose.
Finally, Bethesda's venerable BCC Rescue Squad will be on hand to give you a free blood pressure check, and with an ambulance customers can tour.
By getting your BP check out of the way, then you can go ahead and cheat at brunch in downtown Bethesda!

IT'S ALL ABOUT ZE GERMAN SAUSAGE AT BETHESDA CENTRAL FARM MARKET TODAY
Today's Bethesda Central Farm Market (9 AM - 1 PM at Bethesda ES) comes to you by way of Germany today.
Meatcrafters will have its newest sausage, Landjaeger. It is does not contain Jagermeister, but would probably pair well with it!
Instead, Landjaeger is a German Hunter's sausage made with organic beef and pork. Try a bite of this traditional German snack at the market today. Then take some home.
Finish off your buy-local Father's Day feast with German potato salad made with 2012's first crop of potatoes from Bending Bridge Farm, and a Peach-Blackberry pie from Westmoreland Berry and Toigo Farms.
