Capital Riot

March 30, 2022 by chito

They call themselves "DC's most iconic Irish party bar," but DCist named it the "douchiest bar" in the District. My friend, Keith Hall and his wife are huge Carolina fans, and he invited me to McFadden’s to watch the Panthers battle the Ravens.  Being a part of the DMV Flock (Ravens fans who live in the DC/Baltimore metro area), I was happy to oblige.  I brought my trusty … [Read more...] about Capital Riot

Flight 747 – Just a Short Mile Away

June 18, 2021 by chito

I parked my rig at Sally Beauty on Vantage Point and walked a mile to find a place to watch Game 5. I was lucky to stumble upon Flight 747, a local dive bar that also serves as a drive-through liquor star located next to a motel, a half mile from the airport. It was a busy Wed night. The two pool tables were full with folks watching, some playing an electronic dart board. … [Read more...] about Flight 747 – Just a Short Mile Away

SUP JAX

April 18, 2021 by chito

Yesterday, I launched from Mickler's Landing on the southern tip of Ponte Vedra Beach. There's plenty of free parking and the beach wasn't busy at all. The skies were overcast so, not too many sunbathers. An assortment of people searching for shark's teeth and of course surfers taking advantage of the high surf. There was a ton of cannonball jellyfish riding the incoming tide. … [Read more...] about SUP JAX

Dim Sum Dinner Party

April 17, 2021 by chito

After a busy afternoon surfing, I worked up an appetite for a big meal. And I was definitely in the mood for some dim sum. Since I was budget and time conscious, I defaulted to the Dim Sum Platter for $16. Just as I sat down to order, a wedding anniversary party started walking in. About 60 people all having a fantastic time. Haven't seen a party this big since … [Read more...] about Dim Sum Dinner Party

Beaver Biker Bar

February 12, 2021 by chito

 I sat in a rocking chair out at the Beaver Biker Bar, out front admiring the different bikes that went by on route 1. The unmistakable roar from a pack of Harleys pulling in. I glanced out and see the riders dismount, strutting their stuff like arrogant snobs. After a long ride from south Florida, they're ready to rest and relax and call it a day. Away from the … [Read more...] about Beaver Biker Bar

After I retired from the Navy, I attended George Washington University to earn my MBA. I left with a diploma, and with a food tech startup called RUNINOut. Our goal was to add as many restaurants, stores and attractions to the directory and after running it for five years, I felt I had oversaturated the local Washington, DC market. It was time to take RUNINOut on the road. In order for my startup to grow, I had to add more restaurants – that meant getting outside the Beltway and exploring the highways and byways in small town suburbia. I bought a truck and drove cross-country for two years. Here's my adventures in the Washington, DC area and beyond.
