I have been a customer of Bullock's, kind of on and off, for years. Every time I think that I can…read morecommoditize meat purchases and might find better value elsewhere, I miss something special that again has me coming back here. A recent example entails bone-in chicken breasts for grilling. Grocery store packages provide breasts that are too big; too many calories are consumed and/or some is wasted. Bullock's are more portion-sized appropriate and always are fresh. So stocking up a bit for summer, I recently stopped in and asked for 10 breasts, separated into five pairs, as we are only two people. The helpful clerk asked whether my plan was freezing. When I told her it was, she said "let me wrap them in freezer paper for you, labeled. Without an upcharge. And without asking. You don't find this measure of intuitive customer service in many places nowadays. Maybe sometimes greater economy can be found someplace, but never greater overall value, when freshness, quality and customer service also are considered.

I make it a point of getting a breakfast sandwich once a week at The Pork and Bean Store at Hahn's…read moreof Westminster. The sandwiches there are great! My favorite is the ham egg and cheese sandwich. I have tried the bacon, sausage and ham, and my favorite is the ham. Some know this but they make their own ham and bacon at Hahn's. The lunch sandwiches are great as well. Try the Ruben or Rachel sandwiches. The corn beef is great and tasty in the Ruben. I enjoy going in and ordering my sandwich there but they do plenty of online ordering. I have not had a problem at all with the service. The staff does a great job of making your sandwich in no time. The place is small but sells lots of other stuff like coffee, tea, and of course their pork products. There is a seating area that is comfortable and clean. Try Pork and Beans for a breakfast and lunch.

Another food runner also deserves recognition because he was incredibly motivated and on top of everything. Their timing was perfect. Braydn seemed to intuitively know exactly when to check on us, refill our drinks, and ask if we were ready to order. She was genuinely friendly and looked like she truly enjoyed her job, which always makes for a better dining experience. We sampled a few cocktails, and my White Cosmo was absolutely delicious! For dinner, I ordered the Oh My Mahi, and "oh my" was exactly my reaction. The moist mahi mahi was served over a bed of saffron rice and topped with an Asian slaw. There were so many layers of flavor, and every bite depended on how you attacked it. I started by dragging my fork through the hoisin sauce and picking up some rice, fish, and slaw all together. The temperature and flavor combinations were remarkable with the hot saffron rice with just a hint of hoisin, the fresh, flaky fish, a pop of ginger, then the cooler, crisp crunch of carrots, cabbage, red onion, red pepper, and I think spinach. Every bite was different, the presentation was beautiful, and the meal was simply amazing. My husband ordered the Papa Burger, a clever play on "jalapeño popper." It featured two flavorful patties topped with bacon, jalapeño jelly, cheddar, cream cheese, sautéed onions, and fresh-cut fries. I stole one bite...then another...then a third! I'm officially renaming it the "Oh My Poppa Burger" because it may have been the best burger I've ever tasted. That says a lot because I'm a traditionalist when it comes to burgers. I'm not even a bacon fan. Yet somehow this combination just worked. What is in that cream cheese, bacon, and jalapeño jelly combo that make this burger so ridiculously good? Next time I'm in a burger mood, I am coming here! But everything looked so good so I may be back before that burger mood strikes. The only reason I'm giving Lost Lion four instead of five stars is that my husband would have loved to add a simple slice of tomato and some lettuce. We were hesitant to ask because we know substitutions can snowball, and we quickly got the impression that the chef preferred not to alter the menu as written. He didn't even dare ask for a side of ranch for the fries after this. If small additions like lettuce or tomato were an option, even for a small upcharge, it would make an already fantastic burger even better for some. That said, between the outstanding service, creative and delicious food, excellent cocktails, and warm ambiance on a Thursday evening, The Lost Lion made a wonderful first impression. We'll definitely be back.

The worker asked if I wanted to try a sample of Fudge and being the indulger I am I couldn't say no. WOW it was delicious. I bought a 1/2lb. She then went on to tell me that almost everything they have is made fresh right in the back of the store. That's right! A mini Wonka Chocolate Factory. Friends of mine have told me this place was expensive but after my first purchase and visit I completely understand why. That expression "you get what you pay for" goes a long way. Stop in and try something, its the only thing that can do it justice!

While I spent time commuting to D.C. for business by car and train during the day, upon my return, I was able to enjoy field-view sunsets and quiet nights. The price was reasonable for what was offered and the location enables easy shopping at a few top grocery stores and major hardware stores. The only caveat here is that the public roads approaching the farm have some distinct blind spots, so be careful driving and honk your horn on tight turns. The driveway needs some deep worn areas filled in with stone to make it more level, but otherwise it is very accessible. Also, with so many peaceful and adorable chickens walking about, I couldn't help but smile high. Be sure to get your fill of peace and beauty here!
