Not Your Average Joe’s NYAJ

We like to go out for lunch rather than dinner. It’s just easier during the day - less traffic, no wine (less expensive), and having enough left over for dinner. Today we decided to break up the week by driving to Not Your Average Joe’s in the Bethesda/Chevy Chase area. It’s always a good idea to arrive before noon because the tables fill up very quickly. And it’s also a better idea to go during the week than on a Friday. We have been here several times and have never been disappointed. Since we are bread lovers, you can’t go wrong with the focaccia bread and oil make card with cheese. Today we just went with a bowl of soup, a side of French fries, and a Greek salad with chicken. Last time we brought home a small pizza. Today we decided the jambalaya might be a good idea. So rather than even have it served, we just requested a take out order. The restaurant is always busy and there were still plenty of people coming in as we were leaving. It is quite a ride for us from Capitol Hill, but it’s a good excuse to get out of the house. The only downside is trying to find a parking place once we get home. That is an entirely different story.
