Nope 9:33. Zaxby's is a chicken focused fast food chain down South. Great salads.

There is a Hobby Lobby in Laurel.
Jersey Mike's in Bowie.
Wegmans is opening a new store in Crofton too at the end of the month.
All not within the beltway, but worth a drive?

Isn't there a wegmans in Silver Spring? I know it sent me coupons but I never went.

Wegman's is currently under construction in Germantown, and there is one in PG county (Laurel?).

WEIRD. Did the one in Lanham send me coupons in Silver Spring? Was I hallucinating?

...

Yes, the Lanham one advertised heavily here in Silver Spring when it opened. I haven't been to Wegman's, so I don't understand the cult, but apparently if you're a member, you're willing to drive for the pleasure!

Sadly, the thing about Culver's is of course why their burgers are so damn good--they never freeze their meat...it is always fresh from a cattle farm within a days's driving distance from their shops. I suppose if they bought cattle farms w/in a day's drive of DC it could work--but quality control becomes tricky probably--Prices would probably soar

Can't believe no one has mentioned GROTTO PIZZA. They would blow Domino's back to the stone age.
