Takeout Tuesday - Full On Craft Eats & Drinks - Le Pilgrim

 

While I don't really have turkey on Thanksgiving anyway (no one in my family loves it that much, haha), I couldn't pass up this Thanksgiving-themed sandwich from Full on Craft Eats & Drinks because it sounded really good!  Le Pilgrim consists of "Fresh roasted turkey, cranberry relish, mashed potatoes, cornbread and apple stuffing, herb mayo on a French loaf with a side of gravy for dunkin'".  My favorite components were the mashed potatoes and gravy (my favorite side dish for the holidays), but the turkey itself was really tender and delicious too.  It was a deliciously messy meal trying to dunk this packed sandwich into the gravy, haha.  

Due to its popularity they are planning on having this in December as well, but be sure to order early before they sell out!

Takeout Tuesday - Georgetown Cupcake's Pumpkin Cheesecake and Coffee Toffee Cupcakes

I finally made it over to Bethesda to pick up some of the November flavors at Georgetown Cupcake - I've definitely missed these cupcakes!  The store is set up only for online preorders currently, but there is no minimum requirement for the orders, and they can be done as same day orders.  I ordered mine outside the store and was able to pick them up about 15 minutes later.  

The Pumpkin Cheesecake and Coffee Toffee cupcakes are both options that are available on the November menu, in addition to lots of other pumpkin and fall flavors!  The cheesecakes especially are great for anyone that wants something different from their regular cupcakes, with a crumbly graham cracker crust and creamy cheesecake filling.  I'm also a big fan of coffee flavored sweets, so this Coffee Toffee is right up my alley, especially the coffee infused cake.  Be sure to check out Georgetown Cupcake for the delicious November flavors if you like fall and pumpkin flavors!

Takeout Tuesday - Sarah's Handmade Ice Cream Wildwood

The weather might be getting cooler around here, but to me there's never a bad time of year for ice cream! I was so happy to hear that Sarah's Handmade Ice Cream was opening their second location a little closer to me, and of course I had to go check it out on their opening day! 

This new location is bright and airy, with all the necessary precautions in place.  You can see on the back wall of the photo above that there are a lot of flavors to choose from.  I love how they cover both classic and unique flavors so it'll be easy to find something delicious for any taste.  

For my first visit, I ordered two pints - Coffee Oreo and Chippy Chip.  They do take in-person orders, but their online ordering site is very easy to navigate if you want to order ahead and pick up quickly.  Both of these are delicious and have a ton of texture from the mix-ins - so good!

 

I don't believe you can buy this 12 flavor sampler, but I was lucky to win one from posting about their opening weekend on Instagram - this is such a fun way to try a bunch of flavors!  I especially liked this for trying flavors that I wouldn't normally get, like strawberry and salted caramel.  They do offer a sampler in store where you can choose any flavor as 5 kid scoops in a takeout container, which might have to be one of my next orders.  Even though it's colder out, I'll definitely be back to enjoy some more ice cream soon!
