Can a Cuban sandwich be converted into a Hot Pocket? We're about to find out in this video on the Robert Dyer Channel.
The Hot Pockets Limited Edition Cuban Style sandwiches feature sliced pork, diced ham, pickles, Swiss cheese, mozzarella cheese and a mustard sauce, wrapped in soft bread.
They heat in the microwave in 2 minutes and 30 seconds.
No one is looking forward to the opening of Spanish sandwich shop 100 Montaditos at Bethesda Row more than I am.
But from what I could tell this week at the former Green Papaya space on Elm Street, the May grand opening didn't seem likely.
Nothing is going on there, and the interior renovation does not appear to be far along at all.
Sure enough, a company spokesperson is now saying the restaurant will open this summer. Which could mean as late as August, technically.
Patience is a virtue.
Popular breakfast, lunch and catering restaurant The Brown Bag has been a weekday fixture for Bethesda workers and residents since the 90s.
Now the small chain may become part of your weekend plans, as well.
After experimenting with Saturday hours at their Arlington location, and now launching a similar test at their DC franchise, The Brown Bag says it is considering adding Saturdays to Bethesda, as well.
Saturday hours would be from 8 AM to 3 PM, but may extend longer in the future.
One change, however. Breakfast will be served all day, but “Build Your Own” noodle bowls and pasta dishes won't be available. However, catering will be.
Keep your fingers crossed, Brown Bag fans!
Bethesda Market owner Vijay Mhera tells me their grand opening is now scheduled for late next week. The exact date will be announced as the opening approaches.
As you know, this all-new market is opening in the space that previously housed the original Bethesda Market until 2011, at the Shops at Sumner Place on Sangamore Road.
Mhera says the new market will offer craft beers, fine wine, freshly-prepared deli sandwiches, and will be using premium Boar's Head deli meats. He adds that customers will also enjoy many tastings at the store, to help familiarize them with the high-quality product lines the market will carry.
There's a lot of excitement about the market opening among nearby residents, who have had to drive way out of the neighborhood to buy beer and wine for the last year. It will also be a new lunch option for employees at the federal intelligence campus across the street.
Stay tuned for the exact opening date.
