The Vienna Hotdog:
This is the best hotdog in the US. It's meant to be a street dog, but the Shake Shack used to be a street vender. Vienna hotdogs are only sold to street venders. My guess is that the Shake Shack was grandfathered in when it left the streets for its dine-in restaurant. Hotdogs, in my opinion, don't get any better than this.
The Shake Shack:
This place is off Dupont Circle. Just google the Shake Shack to find directions. I would give them to you, but I get lost in DC.
Here's the main fare there: hotdogs and hamburgers with fries. My daughter Michelle took me here for lunch. She had the burger and I had the dog. Love Vienna hotdogs. If you ever come across a street vender, ask what kind of hotdogs (s)he's selling. If it's Vienna, buy one.
Scion's Restaurant:
This place is a few blocks off of Dupont Circle and has some great dishes.
Bacon-n-Mac-n-Cheese:
Where's the macaroni? Look at all that cheese. And the bacon flavor! I ordered this for an evening meal. Big mistake, but it was one of the most tasty mistakes of my life. Forget about the pounds I gained over night and the trouble going to sleep with acid reflux. This dish was awesome!
My daughter ordered this Swiss-cheeseburger. It had fried pickles on top. Another not-good-to-eat-late dinner.
DC Harvest:
The DC Harvest tends to serve more healthy foods, though tasty. And I can't even begin to tell you where this one's located. To keep me from getting you lost in DC, I'll let you google this one as well. Note: Brunch is served only on Friday thru Sunday.
House Scramble:
This omelet is the Harvest's house scramble. It's stuffed with sautéed mushrooms and goat cheese. Michelle's friend, Ann, ordered it. They also make a scramble with spicy lamb sausage, peppers, and caramelized onions. Thanks, Ann for taking us here.
Shrimp & Grits:
Typically, this is a New Orleans dish. To my surprise, shrimp & grits was on the menu at the DC Harvest. I had to order it, and it was so good.
Pancakes:
My daughter ordered the pancakes. She topped them with their awesome homemade strawberry preserves. Need I say anything more?
