Rustic Rustico

HEY PARTY PEOPLE!

This is Cubbie. Back in action. I thought the New Year and the Inauguration was a perfect time to jump back into the food blogging business. (This post was started right after the 20th....and then finished, well, now)

The whole gang, including Maya and Mikey (who were here for inauguration) took a car ride to Alexandria to sample the beer and pizza at Rustico. I think everyone had a wonderful time as the atmosphere outside of DC was a little less crazy and most people just had the Super Bowl on their minds. Rustico is also an absolutely beautiful restaurant.

The only problem of coming around 9pm was that they were out of alot of things. I ended up getting a regular version of a deep dish pizza (Chicago style in honor of our president) and twice Erica's beer choices were gone as well. Everything was delicious and the beers did not fail to deliver either. Maya and I split a sampler that ranged from very light to very dark beers.

Erica's birthday was also on Inauguration Day so Max did what sneaky fiances do and ordered dessert for her. The night ended with birthday songs and celebration that carried on until Tuesday and hopefully beyond...

tootles. Cubie.


p.s. Everyone should peer-pressure Max and Erica to blog about Paris and their food exploits there. do it.
