Excellent Dining on a Budget -
02-25-2010, 07:52 PM
My wife Delores and I don't usually go out to restaurants on church days, so it's rare that we ever go out. But last night we went to Landover's newest fancy restaurant, The Chow Factory on Route 49 near Old Indian Treaty Road. I had the Curly Noodles with Cream, Butter and Italian Cheese Sauce ($9.75) and Delores, always the thrifty homemaker, had the Lightly Toasted Bologna and Brick Cheese Sandwich on Hearty White Bread (listed as Market Price, $7.95 last night). Both came with a nice dinner salad and plenty of bread sticks. It was wonderful.
The decorations are very cosmopolitan-- you'd think you were at a fancy restaurant in the suburb of an office park! There is a framed picture of Winston Churchill wearing sunglasses, the head of a bear mounted over the door (wearing sunglasses!), old-timey metal signs for antique products, and a barber pole outlined in green neon. It's crazy, and very creative!
The service was excellent-- a kid working his way through Landover Baptist University-- so we splurged and left a $2.75 tip!
I'd recommend it to anyone in the Landover area that wants to have an elegant, night out on the town. The Chow Factory is going to give Olive Garden and Red Lobster a run for their money on elegant dining!

How I envy the Americans and their elegant fine dining! However, my friend Margret informs me that in NZ we have a Scottish restaurant chain with superb American food -- I must investigate further.

Whoa, stop right there! You ate ITALIAN food? Food from Italy, the home of the roman cathlyck pope? By doing this, you're supporting papism. Unacceptable.

Brother Monty is a well-known gourmet around these parts, and he likes to "push the envelope" when it comes to his culinary explorations. I've seen the man put away 3 cans of Chef Boy-Ar-Dee Spaghetti-o's in a single sitting.
While eating ethnic food like that may not be to every Christian man's taste, Brother Monty's Platinum Tither status assures him a certain amount of leeway with Jesus to indulge some eccentricities.
Besides, I happen to know that The Chow Factory is owned by ex-chinks, and there is no fear of them being papists.
Here is a partial list from just a few scripture verses:
