Kd's Restaurant / Legacy Grill

[adaniel]

I think you're reading too much into the name. There have been several articles that stated the menu will reflect Kevin's east coast favorites (obviously along with stuff that will sell well here). And Maryland and Virginia are southern states.

Was just about to type something similar.

One can be forgiven for thinking that food found in and around DC is typical "east coast" food given the fact that Northern Virginia and suburban Maryland have more in common with New Jersey than the south. But trust me, the roots of that area are very much of the old south. Some of the best crab cakes and fried chicken I ever had was in St Charles County MD, which is just a bit south of where KD is from in Prince Georges County.

You would be surprised how many people don't know the Mason-Dixon line is between Maryland and Pennsylvania. Probably even less know the capitol of the Confederacy was in Virginia.

You annoy me to no end with your insatiable desire to be a contrarian and constant one line responses of drivel. What in the hell are you talking about is Maryland the south? I polled 17 different family members - 3 from Georgia, 2 from South Carolina, 3 from Alabama, and 9 from North Carolina - and every one of them considered Maryland to be a part of the south.

ok... yes. both Maryland and Virginia were south of the Mason-Dixon line and therefor "Southern" States (something geographically that i was aware of). and so technically their food is "Southern" Cuisine. But Maryland and Virginia see much more use of pork and crap as the chief sources of protein rather than shrimp, chicken, and beef that you see across the rest of the south. you also see much more use of Sorgum and Honey as opposed to sugar or molasses as a sweetener. So while they are "Southern" States with "Southern" cuisine, they are much different than even the Low Country Cuisine area of the Carolinas and Georgia, and share much more in common with the cuisine of the Delaware and the Appalachian areas of Pennsylvania and West Virginia (which i know was also south of the Mason-Dixon line), than it does with what is common thought of as "Southern" Cuisine.

Local sourcing of food died with the interstate highway. National chains covered the casket with dirt.

but it didn't kill the cuisine associated with it... people still make that food. and that is the food i was hoping for

That's truer than most people know or are willing to admit.

Moving right along... From today:

[Urbanized]

That photo was taken more or less from the vantage point from where folks were concerned that the roof and mechanicals might be visible.

[catch22]

I walked next to it the other day from that same vantage point and it appeared to be the same height as the Earl's Rib Palace building. I guess they will use a tall ceiling like Toby Keith's.

Ceilings have to be high to allow KD clearance in his own joint.

thanks for the pics, it looks somewhat better situated than I thought and actually appears to give a bit of 'urban' density to that section of the canal. I wonder if other buildings could rethink their back ends and extend a bit to open up canal side patio seating? That would really set LBT in motion IMO without razing all of Hogan's development.

One question about this thread, shouldn't it now say "Under Construction" instead of "proposed"?

[Praedura]

Great shots Will.

I especially like the canal panorama. But it seems as though that view towards downtown would be even more interesting if a certain (ahem) additional item was on the skyline....

So, I took that section of the photo and added in a new tower:



Yes, I know the design is rather lame. There's a limit to what I can do with my mad graphics editing skillz (slapping rectangles together, basically).

...and as that building will be further back, your rendering indicates it's actually 975 feet tall. Sorry PluPan, no supertall for you!

[kevinpate]

Not a big fan of the little triangle peaks on the canal side. Makes it look like the builder just hurled up a mini strip mall between the B&G and Earl's.

Yeah, it's too tall. That's one of several problems with it -- the biggest being that it's a bit lame looking and not very realistic. But hey, I gave it a shot!

Anyway, just squint when you look at it, use your (vivid) imagination, and consider that future date when there really will be something there.

I was just jiving with ya...I once did a rendering on Microsoft Paint for my vision of downtown with a new skyscraper (pre-Devon days). Trust me, my work was that of a preschooler. Yours is waaaaaay better ;-)
