Sweet Ginger @ Vienna, VA – 11/03/17
#ThePlace
Where: Sweet Ginger
When: 11/03/17
Who Picked: Eric
This week we went to Sweet Ginger, a Japanese/Asian restaurant in Vienna. This was definitely made for an interesting combination on the menu. They featured both Thai and Sushi dishes.
#TheFood
We split the Peking Duck Roll appetizer. This duck roll consisted of some crispy duck pieces with a flaky roll. It was delicious and very rich. This was some true comfort food. Perfect size for two people to split.
Nick went with the lunch Bento box special with Sashimi. A small salad and bowl of Miso soup were brought out with the appetizer. The box came two shrimp tempura and three pieces of vegetable tempura, a ball of rice, three pieces of California roll, six pieces of Sashmi, a gyoza, and what I believe to be two pieces of fried tofu.
Eric went with Bento box special with Sushi. This box included the same Miso soup and salad which were nice. The bento box itself included two tempura shrimp and three tempura vegtables, rice, gyoza/tofu w/ dipping sauce, a three piece california roll, and four pieces of sushi. This seemed like a pretty good value for lunch and everything was very good. Eric especially enjoyed the tempura and gyoza.

Miami Vice Burgers @ Crystal City Food Truck Thursday – 8/31/17
#ThePlace
Where: Miami Vice Burgers Food Truck – @Miamiviceburger
When: 8/31/2017
Who Picked: Eric & Nick
We were back at it for Food Truck Thursday this week as we were both back at the office. We had the usual options with newcomer Miami Vice Burgers, a great choice on a nice summer day.
#TheFood
Nick went with the Spicy Bacon Burger which was topped with bacon, jalapeño jack cheese, jalapeño relish, cilantro sour cream, and half of a jalapeño pepper. The jalapeño triple threat provided a good balance of heat and flavor while neither component of the cilantro sour cream was overpowering. The burger was cooked to a nice medium rare and the brioche bun kept everything in place.
Eric got the Sonny’s Burger which had guacamole, grilled onion, jalapeño relish, cilantro sour cream, a sunny side up egg, and sharp cheddar on a brioche bun. We also split a sweet potato fries because they are the bomb. The burger was very juicy and had a lot going on on top. The egg was fully cooked, so it wasn’t too messy. The jalapeño gave it the slightest kick but was not overpowering. Our food came out pretty quick which was a nice touch.

It doesn’t get any more Miami Vice than this truck. I’m putting the picture again just because the truck looks so awesome in it. It seriously looks like we could have been in Miami!
#TotalBill
The bill was just under $9 for just a burger and …. for the burger and fries. The truck accepts credit cards.
