Coming Soon: Strawberries On The Farm, Fried Chicken At Bon Chon, and Potbelly's On Dobbin

Pick-your-own strawberries are coming to a farm near you.  Near Rte 29, that's the Gorman Produce Farm where strawberry season starts on Saturday.  Out on U.S. 70, Larriland Farm says their opening day will be May 15 to May 20.

The new Bon Fresco in Annapolis Junction will be near the &-11 at Guilford and Dorsey Run roads, reports Junior who spoke with the owner.

Potbelly's by Erik
The Bon Chon franchise in Ellicott City should be opening soon.  Keep an eye out for a soft open.  The restaurant's Facebook page said they were looking to hire employees three weeks ago.  I want to hear when we can try their fried chicken.

Until then, I'll have to go try the ice cream at Scoop Ah Dee Doo.  That's the new shop on Main Street in Ellicott City.  Adam hit it up for maple bacon ice cream and wrote it up on the Option Pitch and Waffle Crisp blog.  Too much bacon, he reports.

And finally, a Potbelly's sandwich shop is coming to Dobbin Road.  It will replace the Starbucks in the corner spot across from . . . well, the new Starbucks.

    Thank you, Bon Fresco, for moving a little closer to my home! We just moved to Laurel last month and have gone to Bon Fresco in Columbia twice already. Looking forward to the new location...

    This is way ahead of schedule for strawberries. I guess it's the weird weather we've been having this spring.

    I went to the Bon Chon in Annandale, VA. It definitely lives up to the raves. Make sure you call ahead though.

    I'm not gonna lie - I'm a little bitter about the Bon Fresco in Annapolis Junction. I work in Linthicum, and I've been saying forever that they should open a location out here. We have no good lunch options. How come *we* didn't get a Bon Fresco?!?

    In all seriousness, I wish them the best of success at the new location. Heck, maybe if they do really well there, we will get one in Linthicum after all!

    Dumb question - Scoop Ah Dee Doo is the same as what was going to be LaLa's?

    Let's hope this doesn't slow down or stop the process of them opening.

    Went to Scoop Ahh Dee Doo this weekend, because I learned it has Taharka Brothers ice cream. Fantastic!

    It's not the same as LaLa's. Lala's is going to be over on Main Street near the Pure Wine place, Scoop Ahh Dee Doo is on Tonge Row.
