DCMM Dinner & Ice Cream - July 9th

DCMM presents dinner & ice cream!

We will start at Five Guys Burgers & Fries in Woodbridge, VA for some great burgers and fries, then motor on through some backroads and twistys to Manassas, VA for some excellent ice cream at Nathan's Dairy Bar, where our own 'MNEEME' is currently employed for the summer! And after enjoying our ice cream, there's mini-golf right next door where we can all see if we can putt as well as we can drive!

When: Saturday, July 9th, 2005
Where:
Dinner: Five Guys, 14001 Jefferson Davis Hwy (aka Route 1), Woodbridge, Virginia
Ice cream: Nathan's Dairy Bar, 8948 Mathis Ave, Manassas, VA
Time: We will meet for dinner at 5 PM, then regroup at a strip mall at the intersection of Ox Rd (123) and Route 1 (it's all too easy to get separated on Route 1) when we're finished eating (approx 6:30 PM meet time). This is also where we can meet people that wish to join us for the drive and ice cream, but not for dinner. I expect to arrive at Nathan's at about 7:15 PM. ***Directions are in the route sheet PDF below!***
Why: Cuz it's fun, good food, and great dessert!

Hmmm, Amsterdam or Northern VA.... It'd be a tough choice for me!

Have fun! (And I'm jealous!)

More Fun ?

...it just so happens that we are hosting a Pampered Chef party at our house in Manassas that night. So if you would like to add just a little more fun to the evening you could stop by after ice cream. If you are interesested in attending or have questions PM me.

Edge... Couldn't agree with you more, yet in the latest edition of GQ there is an article about where the 20 best hamburgers around the USA are. 5 Guys was totally snubbed... what the hell were those guys thinking?

Knowing GQ, it's prolly the 20 best places to be "seen" having a burger.
Go figure. Maybe if Five Guys added Absinthe to the beverage list, huh?

Heh.

Cheers,
Matthew Z.

P.S. Yes, I know Five Guys. They kick much @$$. I'm also quite fond of
"El Pollo Rico" on Kenmore Street. Best dayum rotisserie chicken evah!

Yeah but what does GQ know about DC anyway? 5 Guy's makes Washingtonian's survey's all the time.

On a side note, I had an In N Out Burger for the first time a couple of weeks ago. For those who don't know In N Out is legendary for good burgers in Southern California... And I think 5 Guys in infinately better than In N Out, and that just the burger, on the fries it's no contest... 5 Guys destroys In N Out!

I was going to type up and post the route last night, but unfortunately I had a rather rough encounter with a Mr. Jameson.

I'm off to a 4th of July party now, but the route should be up tonight!
