Welcome to Fairfax Underground, a project site designed to improve communication among residents of Fairfax County, VA. Feel free to post anything Northern Virginia residents would find interesting.
The burger came out cold and the fries were chewy. I'm hoping they just need to get the staff up to speed since they just opened. Service was really slow too.
Peanut oil is the only way to go when stir-frying if you can get the raw stuff that has not been "denatured". BTW - it is outrageously difficult to find peanut oil that hasn't been denatured; even Asian markets don't carry it very often.
Absolute YUM.
Not quite as healthy (ahem) but WAY delicious is, of all things, lard.
Someone said tallow (is that beef lard? Well, whatever beef lard is called - that) makes for fantastic french fries. McDs has gotten in trouble for still using beef fat flavoring in their french fry oil when they dropped the beef fat (in theory) from their frying to make it "vegetarian".

You can't denature oil, which is fat.
There's very little protein in restaurant peanut oil, which is extracted through a chemical process as opposed to the foofy poop you might buy at Whole Foods, and only proteins can be denatured, not fats. You do want to make sure they don't saponify the peanut oil.
isn't that Manassas mall? near all the DC housing projects offloading into NVA that nva really paid for? probably not a safe area to walk around anymore
I remember when Manassas mall opened and Boardwalk was the SPANK!
Clean place much less hoity toity than tysons and southern virginians were dam proud of the new mall they build and had in their (small) town of Manassas.
May 31. Tried is several times. pricey and not that great. I am surprised it lasted as long as it did at that location. Never really busy and same center has subway panerara and papa johns. mcdonalds across the street and also Village Chicken and some other family reataurantplus Asian Grill.
