Our first get together at Steak in a Sack for the year will be this Saturday, March 28, from 1-4 pm. This will be special, because it is the anniversary of the first ever get together we held at Steak in a Sack, back in 2008. Get out of the house, kiss those Winter blues goodbye, meet old...

In the late 60s, canned fried chicken was actually made. My boyhood pal and I used to buy a can at the 7-11 off of St Barnabas Road across the Marlow Fairlanes bowling alley for sleepovers, while watching Supernatural Theatre (featuring the Great Zucchini) on WDCA Channel 20.

I've set up secure on-line ordering for everyone to purchase tickets in advance for the 2015 PG County 60s and 70s Back to School Dance: http://marlowheights60sand70s.com/MHSSTickets.html Tickets are $25 each, but if you order prior to September 1, they are $20. Couples are discounted to...

Big Buddy bubblegum. Toaster Pizza. Just Fried Chicken-in-the-Can.

In late 2004, while living in Palm Bay, Florida, I was getting homesick for the DC area in general, and was finding myself reminiscing more and more about growing up in Marlow Heights of the 60s and 70s. I saw an ad for web site hosting and thought, hmmm, I've been an IT guy for quite a few...

The dance is only two days away, and remember, this is for anyone that grew up in basically southern/central PG County at some point during the 1960s or 1970s. This means it is NOT just Marlow Heights, and NOT just people who attended Potomac Senior High. We have some folks who actually began...

I've actually considered this in the past, not only as a venue for my annual Back to School dances, but as a gathering place instead of going to Steak in a Sack. To be candid with you, I would get too much push back on having my dance at the Rec Center. Having something such as the gatherings I...

Folks, we're less than four weeks away from the dance. Please buy your tickets! http://marlowheights60sand70s.com/MHSSTickets.html

The next get together at Steak in a Sack will be this Saturday, September 13, from 1-4 p.m. If anyone wants to cruise through Iverson Mall or Benjmin Stoddert beforehand, let me know. Steak in a Sack won’t be around forever. It’s also one of the few remaining places still open in PG County from...

Yes, come to Steak in a Sack on September 13, from 1-4 p.m., as that's when I'll be hosting one of my get togethers there, and you can have the real thing. The signature Steak in a Sack is made with thinly sliced Rib Eye, marinated and grilled, served with pita bread. Goes well with a side order...

That Steak in a Sack is/was run by a cousin of the original owner, Zach Khalid. He was allowed to open his own restaurant with the same name, but the similarity ends there. There is only one true and original Steak in a Sack, and that's the one in the Marlow Heights Shopping Center, and has been...

Hijinx, I host four get togethers a year at Steak in a Sack, with the next one on September 13, 1-4 p.m. Why don't you join us and have the real deal? As for the recipe, good luck, because the Khalid family won't reveal that to anyone.

Marriott owned quite a few other restaurants at one time, to include Bob's Big Boy and Roy Rogers, both of which served Pappy Parker fried chicken. Bob's did/still does, sell Pappy Parker fried chicken in a specific store in California. Roy Rogers sold fried chicken (still does) but not...
