I've attended my share of MD RTE's, but they're Never, Ever in our neck of the woods. So put on your little thinking caps, and see what ya'll think of this proposition (BUT IT NEEDS TO BE A WEDNESDAY -- Not Tuesday, MAY 16th!) because they're closed on Mon-Tue.
I’d like to nominate the “Proud Mary Restaurant” at a Fort Washington Marina for May’s RTE. Ya’ll can decide if you’re up to an evening’s get-together in “our little neck of the MD woods.” As far as we know, it’s a decent restaurant with a fine view of Piscataway Creek (right off the Potomac River -- haven't eaten there yet this year). Here’s the directions according to the restaurant’s website: http://proudmaryrestaurant.com/directions.html but your GPS just might direct you along another, more interesting route (as our's so often does). Just think of it as a test to find a bonus location in the Cape Fear 1000!
They claim to offer a variety of Southern and Cajun Cuisine (but I couldn’t view their menu online). For "TIKI WEDNESDAY"... They say come and listen to some Caribbean music and enjoy $5 Appetizers and Drink specials from 4 to 8 (Tiki Bar Only). They’re at 13600 King Charles Terrace, Fort Washington, MD, 301-292-5521 [N38 42 10.8 W77 01 22.6 ]. They're "just around the corner from "The real Fort Washington." Note that the restaurant is in a busy boatyard whose parking lot foundation is simply compacted gravel. If you steer right across the front entrance to the big brown building/restaurant, you’ll find some extra room for maybe 8-10 cars. If we’re lucky, maybe a few bikes can block some spaces for many more bikes.
They’ll hold a table if the reservation is for more than ten. Your thoughts??? I'll make the reservation if it's > 10. Seriously, it is nice to sit out back and watch the sun set over the water IF THE WEATHER COOPERATES...
Hope there's a BMW connection there somewhere.
We did another group photo that I was in, but IMO the one in the magazine was the better shot - and not just because I wasn't in it!! 
Phil & Karen, Mark Estes, and Kimo & Noki Lee waited for ~40 minutes, with multiple apologies, before the chicken wings, spinach dip, calamari, and sliders finally appeared (with our helpless waitress and the evening manager). The food was good, but the kitchen staff was having a horrible night! 
And the DJ behind the bar was playing some LOUD Funky music for some woman's birthday. We settled up as soon as we could and then rolled up Fort Washington Road to the Bangkok Golden restaurant (where the service was excellent as well as the food and charming company). I tried to shake things up a bit, but there are many Northern Marylanders who didn't want to ride to southern Prince Georges for May's R2E. My first and last attempt at a Maryland Ride-to-Eat...
