But don't enjoy yourself so much that you forget to turn on the TV at 8 p.m., because that's when the Travel Channel will show the episode of Man v. Food in which Adam Rich takes on the seven-pound burrito at Jack-n-Grill, the New Mexican restaurant at 2524 Federal Boulevard, after visiting the Buckhorn and Cherry Cricket. If you subscribe to Cafe Bites, our weekly restaurant newsletter that comes out Tuesday evening, you already know the above, of course. To subscribe, e-mail [email protected].
