In the five years that I’ve lived in DC, it seems Pot Belly has taken over the town. Yes, I know, it’s a bit like a chain…but it’s sometimes incredibly convenient/easy for me to go sometimes when it’s late at the office and grab dinner.
Food: I’ve ordered a lot of food at Pot Belly, but my [...]

Across the street from Casa Blana is Vermont Village Cafe. It kinda reminds me of the Seinfeld episode with Babu Bhatt and his restaurant that offers a lot of different ethnic foods. Some of their offerings can be found here. They have a bigger menu at their restaurant (including breakfast).
Food:I was in a meat mood and so I [...]

My friend was craving a Philly Steak sandwich but didn’t have a lot of time to run out for lunch so we decided to try out California Grill (when you click, there’s a link to the menu).
Food: I love turkey reubens like no one else so that’s what I ordered. It was solid and decent food. [...]

I love NY-deli style sandwiches. There’s something about that HUGE sandwich with three inches of freshly sliced meat on soft rye with a side of pickles…oh wow. Damn, I have to get to NY.
Anyway, I had heard a lot about Loebs Deli and thought I had to try it out for myself. A restaurant that’s been [...]

You already know I went to Breadline once before. I felt like going again to try their Oyster Po Boy sandwich since I heard so much about it.
As you can see from the photo, the sandwich was very creamy. I hate mayo, so for me, it was too much remoulade sauce. The good stuff in [...]

My friend suggested I try out this place for lunch one day and also was kind enough to go with me on my first visit.
Food:He recommended Panini D’Amour which comes with turkey, pesto mayo (except I asked for no sauce), red onions, artichokes, provolone, and avocado. As you can see in the photo, it was [...]

When my best friend from college came into town, she mentioned there was a kosher deli in Dupont. I, of course, was intrigued and was looking forward to trying it out. Unfortunately, we had just eaten breakfast so I wasn’t ready to order anything else. Instead, I went with a friend for lunch a few [...]

After hearing so many great things about Breadline, I had never gone to try it — until recently.
Food:The “must try” dishes at Breadline, it seemed like to me, were the French Madrange Ham Sandwich and the fries. So I ordered both of them. On the counter where you order was a big bowl of mustard [...]

I had only been there for bagels (not sure where they get them from) because they are quite tasty. I hadn’t tried their sandwiches, until recently. And check it out — I took photos of their menu!
Food: While they offer 66+ different sandwiches, it’s the one that isn’t on their menu [...]

Firehook Bakery has 11 locations in the DC and VA area. They’re best known for their baked goods, but they also offer sandwiches, soups, etc. I have eaten many baguettes from Firehook — they’re a perfect combination of crusty and chewy. With a hunk of brie cheese and prosciutto? Forget it! So tasty!
Food:In the mood [...]

Similar to Capitol Ground, City Place Café has been a good addition to the Golden Triangle area. They offer good, fresh food at a reasonable price. While it is busy during the lunch hour, you can usually get in and out in 10 -15 minutes.
Food: When I went, for some strange reason, I decided to [...]

It’s called Capitol Grounds, but it’s really known as a “great little sandwich/salad/soup place.” If you work in the “Golden Triangle” area, you’ve probably visited. If you work in the area and you’ve never been, you must! Menu can be found here: Menu Page 1, Menu Page 2, Menu Page 3.
Food: They always use fresh ingredients, so you [...]
