Jerry Jabber Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 For those that live in the Northern VA area, there's a new Buffalo style restaurant called Scooters Roadhouse Grille. I went there last night and ordered Beef On Weck and it was pretty good. The owner is originally from the Lockport area. It was nice to see deep fried chicked wings again, plus they use the water from Wegman's for their pizza dough. The owner told me he's hoping to be showing the Bills games this coming season. Here's their info: scootersroadhousegrille.com, 540-891-8929. They're located in Southpoint 1 at the 2nd light from I-95 South exit 126. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately the weck wasn’t a true Kimmelweck roll.....at least not when I went. On a side note, the guy that owns Foster’s Grille in Southpoint is from Buffalo too. The wings are pretty decent.

Not as super salty tasting like Schwabl's, but good for south of NY State. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully the new Wegmans opening in Central Park will have them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dean Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 On Sunday I will be checking out a beef on weck, here in St. Augustine. An Irish pub downtown, Anne O'Malley's now advertises "Beef on Weck Sundays". http://www.annomalleys.com/Page_2.html I'll report back with the review. The last time I had a beef on weck in Florida, it was near Orlando. The beef was cold, and the marginal weck roll was dry as a bone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, I wish they would put a Mighty Taco in Northern VA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, I'll stop there next time we come down to Disney. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerball Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 If the owner had a sense of humor he would make a rare roast beef sangwich on a crooked roll and call it the Bloody Angle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What exactly does "Water from Wegmans" have to do with anything? Thats horrible marketing if ive ever heard some lol! "PSSST... Hey did u hear? Scooters uses water from WEGMANS for their dough!" "spread the word" I think if you told me they were using tap water from "Love Canal" that would be a beter story.. "pizza that GLOWS" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"pizza that GLOWS" Water makes a big difference in dough. One of the reasons it is hard to get good crusty bread in some parts of the country is the local water, according to some bakers. But, I'm not sure what "Wegman's water" means, either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"pizza that GLOWS" First off, he doesn't advertise that he uses Wegman's water, I was asking him about it. If you know anything about pizza dough, water has a big thing to do with it's texture and taste. The reason why the owner of Scooters uses the water from Wegman's is that it is bottled in NY. When he tried it with local water, the pizza dough didn't taste the same as it did in the Buffalo area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, I wish they would put a Mighty Taco in Northern VA. Mighty taco is the one thing that those of us who are part of the Buffalo (WNY) diaspora can't get easy access to. For those not living in Buffalo I found the following website to be a pretty good source of Buffalo foodstuff (not inexpensive but at least you can get it shipped to your door): Buffalo Foods btw - who is the young lady in your avatar?

Thanks a lot for the link, I'll have to order from there. The lovely lady is Leryn Franco. Leryn was an olympic javelin player from Paraguay (from last year's Olympics), plus she's a model.

Lol, lemme know if something "strange" starts to happen to the people near there. Ive always held the therory that something in the water of buffalo "makes" people wear zubas. Fair warning...
