Park for Parkers


Thanksgiving is over and Christmas parties are around the corner so you would think that most people would be content to eat in for a while. Well, not me. I am always up for a good dinner out with friends.  I find conversation over food to be therapeutic.  This week I went out with my friends Missy and Heather and we decided on Parkers -- a family owned restaurant in the heart of Bethesda that has been around for some time. It was a cold night and we were happy to rest in the cozy restaurant. It turned out to be the perfect in-between the holidays spot for girl talk and a good meal.
We were all in the mood for chicken that evening-- a bit surprising considering we recently over indulged in turkey, which is a food cousin to chicken right?   Heather ordered a chicken quesadilla, which she claimed was “so good"!  She described the guacamole as perfect and the salsa a little spicy but not too much so. Both Missy and I ordered the chicken sandwich that comes with mozzarella, chipotle mayo and avocado. I decided to just have mozzarella with the chicken while Missy went for the sandwich as offered.  Missy found her sandwich to be “excellent” and went on to say that “The avocado was really fresh and the fries where perfectly salted. I was not particularly hungry when we arrived at the restaurant but I found my appetite as soon as the food came to the table.” The sandwich was cooked perfectly and I ate every bite.  I also had a side of sweet potato fries while Missy had regular ones. Both kinds of fries were very yummy and complimented the sandwich. Overall, I highly recommend Parkers for a casual night out with family or friends.  I hope everyone is enjoying the start of the holiday season!

Eat here maybe? Yes
