Flavor of the day. Single $3.45
Shake Shack, Washington DC
This was delicious and I loved the silky smooth texture of it. The single scoop was also the perfect size for a lunchtime treat!
Dupont Circle Fountain.
Roasted turkey, shrimp, mussels, clams, cannellini beans, tomatoes, corn and lima beans. Served with grits and cornbread. $12.95
The Trellis Restaurant, Williamsburg VA
This was a super-hearty dish and it had a very nice rich and well-develop flavor. I also loved the grits. They give you a very healthy portion, and I couldn’t finish it because I wanted to save room for dessert. That and I was drinking the rest of my calories, hehe!
Traditional Bloody Mary: house-made bloody mary mix. $7
Governor’s Palace.
Chicken mole, carnitas, and fish. 3 for $10
El Sabor del Taco, Washington DC
These tacos were decent. I liked the corn tortillas, but they were thick enough to not have to double wrap the tacos. Ugh, too many carbs! The fillings were ok but they were kinda bland. I definitely had to use the lime and pour plenty of salsa on each.
Spinosaurus, National Geographic Museum.
$7.79
Cafe Phillips, Washington DC
I was visiting one of our other offices near Union Station and needed a place to eat lunch. I was told that this Cafe Phillips location was recently penalized by the Health Department for unsanitary practices, but I went anyway, lol! The person who told me said that they still recommend the place regardless of the violation. I actually liked this sandwich. It was warm and gooey and the turkey slices tasted great.
Hall of Nations, Kennedy Center.
Applewood bacon, onion marmalade, roquefort cheese, horseradish mayo sauce. $7.25
Spike’s Village fries topped with thyme, rosemary and sea salt. Snack $2.59
Good Stuff Eatery, Crystal City VA
Mmm, this burger was delicious! I won’t say that it was better than In-N-Out because it was very different and hard to compare. I loved the bun and the patty and toppings were great. I especially liked the horseradish mayo sauce. The fries were also amazing and I loved that they have a variety of dipping sauces that you can try.
The Lone Sailor statue, The United States Navy Memorial.
Lean brisket and peppery house recipe hot link with white bread. Sold by weight
Hill Country Barbecue, Washington DC
Omg, these were amazing! The brisket had so much smoky flavor and the hot link was scrumptious. Mmm, I love bbq and Hill Country does it right!
Cornbread. Delicious!
Washington Capitals hockey game.
Breast and wing. 2 piece (white) $6
Astro Doughnuts & Fried Chicken, Washington DC
This chicken was pretty tasty. The large breast was a bit dry in parts, but I really liked the flavor of the coating and it was fried relatively well. It was a little greasy, but not overly so.
Modern sculpture, G St & 9th St.
2 eggs, 2 slices smoked turkey, feta cheese. $7.45
Point Chaud Cafe & Crepes, Washington DC
The filling of this crepe was kinda dry and the ingredients didn’t taste of good quality. I liked the crepe itself though.
National World War II Memorial, “California”.
8 oz. $5.25
Hill Country Barbecue, Washington DC
Omg, this was the cheesiest, most oozy, rich and delicious mac and cheese I’ve had in a long time! I almost want to say that it was TOO rich to finish but it tasted so good that I couldn’t stop myself. I mean, the cheese was still molten even after walking back to the office – good lord! And this is why I work out, people! LOL
Washington Monument.
Pork marinated in Korean hot pepper paste, served with rice, house ginger dressing salad, spicy chicken wing, fried cheese roll with spicy mayo, and yogurt drink. $8.99
Korean BBQ Taco Box, Washington DC
This was ok. It certainly came with plenty of food, but not much finesse to any of it. The pork was a bit dry and some pieces were difficult to chew. I liked the variety of their rice box though.
KBBQ Taco Box truck.
National City Christian Church, Thomas Circle.
8 oz. $3.75
Hill Country Barbecue, Washington DC
It’s not often that you find a yummy cucumber salad for lunch takeaway. This had a great balance of sweet and vinegar. Mmm…
US Department of The Treasury.
Lunch combo with Indian butter chicken, chana masala, and salad. $8.59
Nook, Washington DC
I liked the flavors of the chicken makhani, and I liked that they used chicken thighs. They have so much more flavor than breasts. The garbanzo beans were also tasty too, and I opted for the spinach salad to fool myself that I was eating an entirely healthy meal. 🙂
Spinach salad.
