    glad you two enjoyed some of DC's best neighborhoods. Just to comment of the half smoke experience you really have to eat a half smoke at a hotdog stand/cart. there's something about boiled dogs that keep them juicy. Ask for everything on it and you wont be disappointed. I grew up on eating two hotdogs with a chip and soda when it was only $2.50!

    Be sure to go to Martin's Tavern when the Shad are running. Halfsmoke is OK, but so far from iconic as to not be seen. While in Georgetown, go to Filomena's and make an evening of your dinner. You only feature a handful of places. I hope you didn't ignore Washington's first Lebanese restaurant, Mama Ayesha's on the edge of Adams Morgan. It was The Calvert Cafe when I started going there in 1960.

      @@TheMagicGeekdom it was nice little trip. It was cut short but I live in jersey anyways so ill def be going back. The Korean war memorial was closed for renovation and that was the main reason to go. The main place I ate at was boxcar tavern. It was a nice little bar/restaurant across from the eastern market. Good food and not tough on my Hip-national.

      Do you have any recommendations for restaurants? From your own experience there, what is a restaurant or restaurants that you HAVE to try if you go to Washington DC. (I'm visiting for the first time in December)

    Life long DC resident. DC has the most average food. The restaurants are fueled by 20/30 somethings. There use to be a show "Check Please" on PBS where 5 Gen Z rated restaurants. Phony as hell and got cancelled.

    Was Ben’s chili bowl too “urban” for you guys??? Cuz that’s the spot for the half smokes....and secondly real Mumbo sauce comes from carry-outs with wings,again musta been too urban

    • @yellowmoon1084
      @yellowmoon1084 Před 2 lety

      To be honest, Ben's is overrated. The history is nice, but the actual food is just okay. Also, since a lot of places have their own version of mumbo sauce, it's hard to say which one is best. I bet, depending on where you live in DC, some have no clue what mumbo sauce is so you can't say it's something you have to try in DC.

    • @TheMagicGeekdom

      We can miss a place and it can be just because we missed it and not because it's "too urban" lol.
