Hosive

its thanksgiving season so we were traveling down to baltimore to visit theresa’s family and we were planning out our favorite must have meals when we are in md. again, not necessarily the best or whatever superlative…just places we go to regularly when we are in your town.

we didn’t get to go this time around but when we have time for two meals in montgomery county, the second one is almost always at moby dick’s, a local kebob chain in the dc area that sells superior tasting beef, chicken, lamb, steak and even fish kebobs.

we had one of these in the local fake town we used to live in in maryland. new urbanism is still a relatively new concept in suburban living where communities are built with a town center so that restaurants, groceries, post office, movies and other businesses are within walk distance. not that revolutionary to city folks but a totally different experience for those used to cul de sacs and sidewalks that lead to…..nowhere?

but the town centers they have built tend to look like movie sets hence the fake town vibe. but for me, a fake town is better than no town. and within a 5 minute walk from our townhome was moby dick’s which we frequented often. most md fake towns now have their own moby’s. peer pressure? jealousy?

theresa loves the rice there and could just order that but thinks the meat is a nice accompaniment.  she even orders the burnt rice which is free by request as an appetizer. she would recommend the ground beef kebob….comes with two turd-y looking strands…but don’t let the looks fool you….its super yummy.

i prefer that chicken and beef combo because i like having a bit of variety.

frank got the steak kebob….which only comes with one but one very hearty row of meat. steph got a kebob sandwich.

i think we still compare kebobs we have elsewhere to our local favorite. if we ever were to move back to maryland, we would look to live in our fake town and would enjoy walking frequently to this local joint.
