[Husker] Restaurants (fwd)

[Rod Wellman]

I would like to add Lazlo's in the Haymarket area to the list.   
Often, you just can't beat the food at a brew-pub, and Lazlo's  
doesn't disappoint.  Moderately priced...decent variety on the menu.   
Even the kids should be able to find something they like there.
