Moby Dick Birthday Surprise

We love Persian food and we love Moby Dick. We were first introduced to Moby Dick by our son even before we moved to DC. Before that, we always went to Reza's whenever we were near Chicago when we lived in the Midwest. Since our son and family moved to Virginia a couple of years ago, they miss the old establishment. So it was a no brainer when we decided to take the four hour trip to visit them and bring a whole Moby Dick spread. So after stopping for breakfast at McLean Family Restaurant, we stopped at the Moby Dick and ordered up a feast. We studied the menu before we got there to make sure we had all the bases covered. We also brought along our LLBean cooler and ice to put some of it in after it cooled down. Then at the half way point we stopped to pick up a bag of ice to make sure everything would cool down, and wrapped it all in a very old poncho to stay dry. Needless to say it was a big surprise and everyone loved it - including us. Luckily we can get it anytime. But for them, it was a fun surprise.
