We Tried Everything at Chipotle's New ShopHouse Southeast Asian Kitchen in D.C.
There's been a lot of buzz around town surrounding the opening of Chipotle's new Southeast Asia-inspired ShopHouse, despite the company's best efforts to keep it under wraps. While it's still unclear as to why CEO Steve Ells would open the first (and only planned) location here in D.C., residents seem to be pretty pleased about it. I put my math-minded friend in charge of ordering to make sure we got every ingredient in every category in at least one bowl and banh mi.A Sandwich a Day: The Nobadeer and the Dionis at Jetties in D.C.
D.C. isn't a city known for its sandwiches, really. Some believe Potbelly is the definition of an excellent sandwich (see Yelp for confirmation). It's possible this is the case because a stellar exception to the rule, Jetties, is too far from a Metro station for most Washingtonians. Their sandwiches are so good, I had to review two. Their most popular one, the Nobadeer ($8.95), is a giant, classic Thanksgiving leftovers sandwich.Washington, D.C.: 10 Favorite Bites at Eastern Market
Eastern Market in southeast D.C. falls somewhere between a farmers market, food court, and tourist attraction. The permanent indoor and weekend-only, pop-up outdoor bazaar is open year-round (except on Mondays) and has been running for over 130 years. While you can swing by on a weekday after work and pick up a pound of homemade pasta or a couple of steaks, the real action happens on the weekends, when the market practically quadruples in size. Check out 10 of our favorite bites.A Sandwich a Day: Softshell Crab Sandwich at Market Lunch in Washington, D.C.
Eastern Market, a public market with indoor and outdoor stalls hawking everything from fresh produce and poultry to handmade jewelry to tarot readings, has been in operation for well over 130 years on Capitol Hill. The market is particularly busy on weekends, and no place has longer lines than the indoor hall's Market Lunch. Their seasonal Softshell Crab Sandwich ($9.95) is exactly what it sounds like: a lightly fried softshell crab still hot from the fryer served open-face on a fluffy roll with romaine lettuce and a tomato slice (should you want it.) The crab itself actually tastes like crab, too!A Sandwich a Day: Croque Madame at Poste Brasserie in Washington, DC
In my experience, restaurants seem to griddle the bread for croque madames to the point where a steak knife and some serious muscle are required to reach the ham and cheese inside. But at Poste, inside the Hotel Monaco in D.C.'s Chinatown, the Croque Madame ($16; on the weekend brunch menu) features two thick yet airy toasted slices of white bread enveloping thinly sliced, salty Virginia ham and gruyere.Sixth and Rye, Spike Mendelsohn's Kosher Deli Truck in D.C.
As Good Stuff Eatery fans, we were curious about Spike Mendelsohn's recently launched kosher deli food truck, Sixth and Rye. Considering the dearth of Jewish delis in D.C. and the delicious-sounding menu, it was no surprise that Sixth and Rye opened to 30-minute lines when it first hit the streets. After patiently waiting, we ordered the corned beef sandwich, challah loaf, black and white cookie, pickles, cous cous salad, and seltzer lemonade.A Sandwich a Day: Falafel from Amsterdam Falafel Shop in D.C.
Amsterdam Falafel in the Adams Morgan nabe of D.C. should really be called Amsterdam Toppings with Some Falafel Buried Underneath. The falafel is fine—golfball-sized fritters made of crushed chickpeas and all sorts of spices—but it's really about the serve-yourself toppings bar, stocked with 21 scoopable options. You have your hummus, baba ghanoush, tahini, and tzatziki, as well as pickled cabbage, pickles, crunchy salads, and torator, a fiery green herb sauce, at the very end.A Sandwich a Day: Chicken Cutlet Hoagie from Taylor Gourmet in Washington, D.C.
Taylor Gourmet has two locations in D.C. (in the "Atlas District" neighborhood and near the convention center), but reading the menu, you'd think you were in Philly. Owners Casey Patten and David Mazza are Philly natives, and actually get the crusty hoagie rolls delivered daily from Sarcone's, a fifth-generation bakery in Philly. The Oregon Avenue includes a heaping salad's worth of dressed arugula on a pounded-thin chicken cutlet with a crisp fried coating made of leftover hoagie crumbs.A Sandwich a Day: Chivito from Fast Gourmet Inside a D.C. Gas Station
How often do you eat something at a gas station, then feel compelled to gush about it all weekend to friends? Hm, us either. Until trying the Chivito sandwich at the Lowest Price gas station on 14th and W Streets in Washington D.C. At any given time, there are easily more people here for the sandwiches inside the attached Fast Gourmet than for the petrol outside.Hot Topics: Technique of the Week | The Food Lab
