I knew that Dimensions was a local caterer, but I didn’t know that it was also a full-service restaurant called Next Dimensions. A friend of mine said that she had lunch there so I told my friends Pap Ricka and Mack Aroni we should try it out.

It is always fun, as a new year begins, to look back at the year just past.
Pap Ricka and I sat down the other evening and reminisced about the restaurants we reviewed in 2011.
I visited 22 restaurants last year, most of which were in Washington County.
I ate some really good meals and some that were not so memorable. I had Mexican, Italian, Japanese, Chinese, Indian and Thai.
And subs. Lots of subs.
Here is my list (with help from Pap) as to our favorite places of 2011.

SHEPHERDSTOWN, W.Va. — My friend, Pap Ricka, and I found ourselves in Shepherdstown, W.Va., recently as Pap wanted to check out the really cool, natural running shoe store there.
As it was lunchtime, we decided to get a bite to eat and went into Kazu, a Thai-Japanese fusion restaurant on German Street.
I have to admit, my knowledge of Thai food is minimal, but I was eager to try it out. Kazu’s in an older building and it looks as if part of the wall between rooms has been knocked out to make two separate eating areas. The first dining room is relatively spacious with booths along the dividing wall and an area in the middle where tables can be pushed together to seat large groups.

FUNKSTOWN — Gracie’s Place in Funkstown has a great family history. It was opened by Grace Hartle-Hull, the daughter of John and Margaret Hartle of Hartle’s Subs fame.
According to the Gracie’s Place website, when John and Margaret died, the name Hartle’s Subs was sold, so Grace started Gracie’s Place using many of the techniques of her parents.
My friend, Pap Ricka, and I have long been fans of Hartle’s Subs, so we wanted to see how Gracie’s Place compared.
