| This Sunday, May 11, The D C Dining Society will meet for our annual Mother's Day wine banquet at The Crystal City Sports Pub at 529 S. 23d Street in Arlington. While this may sound a bit different from our normal banquet venues, the pub has recently hired Executive Chef William O'Brien away from his position as Executive Corporate Chef of Sun Trust in Florida to create a local rendition of the "gastro-pub" tradition that began in England. As a sports bar, they have been written up regionally as the best in Virginia and by Sports Illustrated as one of the top 20 in the nation and now Chef is creating wonderful straight-forward honest food to match the rest of their reputation. I dined there just last week and enjoyed exceptional dishes including the best frittata I ever ate along with eggs Benedict that I can only describe as perfect. The normal selection of excellent Champagne and still wines will match the buffet. Their (free) private parking lot is across the street from their door, and they are about a ten minute walk from the Crystal City Metro station. The special price will be $45.00 per person inclusive. Please note that this is not a standard price event and the prepaid discount package pricing does not apply.
