Guess what I saw yesterday???

Those of you who are lucky enough to live within driving distance of one of these babies will have no appreciation for the significance of this statement. Well, actually you might, because you know how good it is. But considering that I live on the EAST COAST and only get to go to Cafe Rio once in a blue moon, instead having to resort to making copycat recipes at home in order to fuel my ill-fated addiction to Shredded Pork Salads, this is an unbelievably major announcement for us here. I had heard rumors of it back in the summer but didn't want to believe anything for fear of having my fragile hopes dashed to smithereens. But yesterday, my friends, I saw this sign (well, actually one just like it because I didn't have my camera to take a good picture with, so I stole one off the world wide web) with my own two eyes, and I am here to testify to the truthfulness of the statement myself--it's really coming!!!

The newest Cafe Rio will be opening in Olney, MD in April 2011 (as in next month), and I plan on being one of the first ones there to witness this historic occasion, thank-you-very-much. If you'd like to join me, let me know and we'll make a date of it... YAHOO!!!

UPDATE: I just read online that it will open on April 27th at 10:30. Why a Wednesday I'm not sure, but... those of you who've expressed an interest, I will get in touch with you and we will make a plan!
