When you dine out, you might think about the ingredients that go into your food, but you probably don’t think about all the numbers that make your meal happen. Restaurants are filled with interesting figures that might not be apparent when you bite into an enticing entrée or take a sip of a signature cocktail, but they’re all around you.
This week, we take a jaunt over to H Street to grab some moules, frites and brews at of Belgian accented gastropub Granville Moore’s. While we’re dipping, sipping and slurping, we find out how many dishes are an homage to the Muscles From Brussels, the astounding poundage of potatoes they use every week, and how many former collegiate cheerleaders work in the kitchen.
