Belgium

We finally made it to one of the restaurants in Washington DC that I've been wanting to go to ever since Renee started to plan her Pentagon Detail. Its a little Belgium Gastropub specializing in delicious Belgian food and BEER called Granville Moore's. Unfortunately when we arrived there was a 45 minute wait for seating, but they gave us a buy one get one free drink coupon to a little bar down the street.

The Red and The Black was a great place to kill time. They had some great beer (bottle only) and played reruns of the original American Gladiators (not this new crap). Once our table was ready they called my cell phone and we ran over to our patio table. Here Renee is sampling one of the many fine Belgian Beers. Belgian style beers are best known for their lack of any consistent style but all having an incredible drinkability despite the fact that many of the beers approach 10% ABV.
The service was pretty quick and the food was AMAZING. Belgian food is pretty simple, it consists mainly of mussels and french fries (they call them frites).Renee's mussels were cooked in Bacon, Blue Cheese, Shallots, Spinach, White Wine, and Lemon Juice. I had the steak et fromage sandwich...
After dinner we relaxed with another beer and Renee snapped this pretty crazy picture with my face all blurred out like what happens to you after you watch the video in the movie the Ring. On our way back to the Metro (subway) we stopped at Union Station for a quick photo shoot.
