Fred’s Meat and Bread

I went walking on a part of the Beltway and ran into Krog Street Market…IMG_6057Inside the market and a lot of food stalls and flowers and chocolate and a charcuterie. It is an awesome place to visit if you get the chance.

Freds 1One of the places is Fred’s Meat and Bread. The menu is intriguing. A spicy korean chicken sandwich caught my eye, but I was there for the cheese steak. (Whoa I am so glad I stuck to my guns)

From then on, whenever he comes across someone who irritates him or provokes him…
