Clare & Don’s Beach Shack @ Falls Church, VA – 8/11/2017
#ThePlace
Where: Clare & Don’s Beach Shack
When: 8/11/2017
Who Picked: Nick
This week Nick chose Clare & Don’s Beach Shack. Nick really enjoyed the smell of the napkins.
We got an order of the hush puppies to split. They came with a melted butter dipping sauce which was awesome.
Since fish & chips was on the menu, Eric had to order it. This was not your typical fish and chips with a thick piece of white fish, this was more like a filet of flounder or fluke beer battered and fried. A little fishier that your regular fish and chips, but still good. The crinkle cut fries were a nice touch and had good flavor and seasoning. The tartar sauce was just OK, it did not have a lot of flavor.
Nick went with the Don’s Don, a burger covered in a shrimp scampi sauce. The shrimp were on the small side and the sauce was a bit runnier than he would have liked, but it had good flavor overall. The crinkle cut fries did a good job of mopping up the sauce that dripped off the burger. The burger was more on the well done side when medium was requested and there was a serious case of tiny bun syndrome.

DC SteakHolders Food Truck @ Crystal City Food Truck Thursday – 8/3/2017
#ThePlace
Where: DC SteakHolders Food Truck
When: 8/3/2017
Who Picked: Eric & Nick
This week we wandered down to the food trucks to a poor showing of just three food trucks. The weather was really nice, so it was a shame to see such limited options. Nonetheless, we still had a good lunch as we both decided to try the DC SteakHolders Food Truck. This is a no frills truck that serves legit cheese steaks. The owner seemed pumped that no other trucks showed up and told us he was expecting over 100 customers today.
#TheFood
Nick got a cheesesteak with grilled onions, mushrooms, tomato, pickles, and jalapeño peppers. Everything mixed really well together with the cheese helping to keep everything together. He was expecting a slightly smaller offering so it was a nice surprise. It would have been nice if there was a bit more meat.
Eric ate an entire cheese steak with provolone cheese, mushrooms, grilled onions and a side of fries. The cheese was super melty, which made for a good cheese steak. The crinkle cut fries were the best, we don’t see them often. The fancy ketchup they had was a bit underwhelming. If you are in for a delicious, straightforward cheese steak with a bunch of toppings to choose from, the is a good food truck to visit.
