The Firkin & Fox, Washington Dulles International Airport (IAD)

The exterior of this chicken fried steak was a bit hard, but I kinda liked it. The interior was still juicy and not over done so I didn’t mind the hard coating. It also prevented the gravy from soaking into the steak. I normally would prefer it to, but maybe that much gravy isn’t the best to eat right before boarding a flight, lol!

Dessert extras - Volt
Macaron, blueberry jelly, chocolate nib, financier. Tasting menu $95
Volt, Frederick MD

These little bites, were so cute and tasty! Naturally, the macaron was my favorite but the blueberry jelly was surprisingly a close second. I didn’t think a jelly was going to impress me, but I loved its flavor and texture.

Pickled mango raita, green papaya salad. $14
Rose’s Luxury, Washington DC

The chicken was good and the jerk was flavorful, but it was the other components that really made the dish. I really enjoyed the raita and papaya salad. I thought the portions was a bit small for the price.
