shakers.

so, i made my resolution this year to be one i would actually follow. my goal is to try one new restaurant a week, all year. this works out, because man i like to eat, and i also get bored pretty easily, so this will expand my options.

yesterday, my roommate, jamie, and i had lunch at shakers in college park. (www.shakerscafe.com) it’s not a very big place, but the inside is well organized so a good amount of people can fit into a relatively small space. apparently, they got the name from the salt and pepper shakers that line the walls. definitely kitschy, but not necessarily in a bad way. on to the food: i got the roast beef city slicker, which has mustard, mayo, roast beef, bacon, mushrooms, and provolone cheese. jamie had the pastrami rueben. both were very tasty, but had way too much mustard and mayo. so if you want to try it out, maybe ask for a bit less than the regular. i’m wanting to go back to try their breakfast, i love a restaurant that serves quiche.
