| Howard County Beer Week with Lil' Chow |
Oh, no! I'm down, but I'm not out. Except when I'm out drinking beer in the daytime.
That's right. Mrs. HowChow's at work today. Lil' Chow and I hit Kloby's Smokehouse for a red rye pale ale and an extremely healthy lunch of grilled cheese and "nachos" made with waffle fries, cheese, beans, and pulled pork. It is really a friendly place with pulled pork and housemade sauces that stand out.

It has been really tough to write posts. We're still figuring out how to handle work and the toddler. But good food keeps coming in Howard County. This week, you should be checking out beers. Chris Mabe of TBonz Grille is running the 2015 beer week with events through next weekend that feature both brewers and restaurants. These are great places from White Oak Tavern to Ale House Columbia, The Wine Bin to Victoria Gastro Pub.
Kloby's offered lots of $4 drafts yesterday. I assume there are other specials. Of course, I had to bring it back here to change a diaper and get a boy to nap. So now I need help answering a question for Nick. What happy hours do you recommend in Howard County? Nick was looking for good deals or especially good food. Please help him in the comments below. My DC job and Lil' Chow mean that I can just recommend good beer joints like the ones above -- but not the specific happy hour winners.
Please keep the comments, tips and emails coming. We're getting more space in our lives. I am trying to knock of some posts during this nap, and there will be more HowChow!

No happy hours to recommend but we had waffles at Snow Cafe on Frederick Rd at St. Johns Lane yesterday and they were delish. We've had sandwiches there but never waffles. I may have written you about them before. Such a delightful place but I worry how they will stay in business with all the traffic to spots on rt 40.
ReplyDelete@Marcia -- Oh, I should have gone for waffles this morning!! I'll add that to my list of weekend morning adventures.
ReplyDeleteTwo corrections to my above -
ReplyDeleteMacaroni Grill is 4-7pm and
PF Chang is 3-7pm
Woah to that comment--being a new parent is hard! Especially when the new family member is a toddler! Best of luck to you and we'll all be here whenever you post during nap times or post bedtimes.
