Best Sandwich Shop in Maryland Named By Chowhound

1 Share

Full On Craft Eats & Drink, which operates locations in Rockville and Annapolis, has been selected as Maryland’s representative in Chowhound’s list of the “Best Sandwich Spot in Every State.”

The list is an editorial selection rather than a formal award or reader poll. Chowhound said it searched extensively for highly rated sandwich shops across the country, considering everything from classics like grilled cheese and Reubens to regional specialties.

For Maryland, the publication selected Full On Craft, highlighting the restaurant’s five-star Yelp rating, unique coleslaw, craft beer selection, cocktails and crab cakes. Chowhound also noted that co-owner Michelle Houser Harris appeared on “Hell’s Kitchen” in 2015.

Full On is known for its sandwiches featuring meats roasted in-house, homemade sauces and scratch-made sides. The restaurant also offers soups, onion rings and a rotating selection of regional beer and wine.

Full On opened its current Rockville location at 5566 Norbeck Road in the Rock Creek Village Center in April, taking over the former Creek Lodge Bar & Grill space. The move came after the restaurant closed its longtime location at 4007 Norbeck Road in February.

The restaurant also operates at the Annapolis Harbour Center, where it opened in February 2022 in the former Baja Fresh space. The Chowhound recognition is not the first time Full On has received statewide recognition for its sandwiches. Business Insider previously named Full On Maryland’s best sandwich shop based on Yelp reviews.

New Barbecue Concept Launching at Brew Belly in Olney

1 Share

Barbecue is coming to Brew Belly at 18065 Georgia Ave. in Olney, with the restaurant’s former owner teaming up with its new owner to launch a new catering operation and weekly barbecue pop-up every Friday from 11am-3pm in the Brew Belly parking lot.

David Calkins owned Brew Belly for approximately eight years before selling the business to Ben Schwartz about six months ago. Calkins has remained involved during the transition, helping Schwartz get settled in, and the two are now partnering on Underbelly Barbecue, a new barbecue catering operation based out of Brew Belly.

Calkins is no stranger to barbecue. He founded Urban BBQ and spent several years competing on the World Food Championships circuit. Schwartz is a graduate of the Culinary Institute of America. Underbelly will hold a “Friday Smoke Show” every Friday from 11am-3pm in the Brew Belly parking lot in Olney, serving what Calkins describes as elevated, competition-style barbecue.

Rather than focusing on one particular barbecue region, the menu pulls from different styles. Calkins describes the brisket as Texas-style and the pulled pork as Memphis-style, with St. Louis spare ribs and jalapeño half smokes also among the initial offerings.

The core menu is expected to remain fairly consistent from week to week, but Calkins plans to mix in different preparations and specialty items. Potential offerings include Dr Pepper ribs, salt-and-pepper ribs, pork belly lollipops and Texas Twinkies. The first week’s lineup features four meats and five sides, with Calkins saying that could eventually expand to as many as six of each. Sides include honey lime coleslaw, deviled egg potato salad, burnt end BBQ beans, braised collard greens and Cooper Sharp mac and cheese.

The partnership also gives Calkins and Schwartz an opportunity to grow Underbelly beyond the Friday events, with barbecue catering operating out of Brew Belly.

Brew Belly itself has undergone another menu change since the ownership transition. The restaurant has moved away from its traditional cheesesteaks in favor of what Calkins describes as a cross between a cheesesteak and a chopped cheese. The sandwiches are served on sesame-seeded Liscio’s rolls.

Montgomery County Housing Market Slows as Inventory Grows

1 Share

Montgomery County’s housing market showed signs of slowing in September, as higher interest rates weighed on activity and the number of homes available across the region continued to grow, according to new data from the Greater Capital Area Association of REALTORS (GCAAR).

In Montgomery County, the median sold price was $610,000 in September, up 1.8% compared to September 2025. Homes spent an average of 34 days on the market, two days longer than a year earlier, while 1,072 new listings hit the market, an increase of 2.8%.

The slowdown was also evident across the broader Montgomery County and Washington, D.C. region. There were 5,488 active listings in September, well above the five-year September average of 4,110.

Closed sales across the region declined 8.5% compared to September 2025, while 1,204 new pending sales were recorded, below the five-year September average of 1,397. Despite the slower activity, the regional median sold price increased 1.1% to $625,000.

Housing supply climbed to 4.1 months, compared to the five-year September average of 2.9 months. The region recorded 2,139 new listings during the month, slightly below the five-year average of 2,186.

Washington, D.C. experienced a decline in prices, with its median sold price falling 2.9% year-over-year to $660,000. Homes in D.C. spent an average of 46 days on the market, one day fewer than September 2025, while new listings declined 6.9% to 1,067.

“Interest rates may be holding some consumers back from buying homes right now, but the good news is they have a lot of choices,” GCAAR President Russell Brazil said.

Brazil said the increased selection means homes in desirable locations and good condition are selling fastest, making presentation increasingly important for sellers in the slower market.
