ben's chili bowl

truth be told that i'd never heard of ben's chili bowl before visiting DC but when brenda mentioned it to me i thought absolutely i want to check it out.  there were a few people who mentioned to me that they weren't fans of ben's but i've gotta say that i'd go back.  i liked my hot dog and once i added some salt to my fries i was a satisfied customer.  i mean it's not a place to take a date to but it was better than some of the other places i've tried that serve this same type of food.  plus the workers were extremely nice considering i did walk in decked out in niners gear.  infact after the game i would've eaten here again if it wasn't so far out of the way.

cuppie

pie sisters was a fun and tasty stop during our day spent in georgetown. this adorable mini cupcake sized pie is such a fun and cute idea.  some may disagree but my favorite part of pie is the crust and this ensured every bite was filled with the right ratio of crust to coconut cream filling.  if you aren't feeling the crust as much as i did don't worry they sell regular pie slices as well.  however if the crust is your favorite part then these cuppies will be right up your alley.

olivia macaron

everyone raves about DC cupcakes but my recommendation would be to skip it and stop off at olivia's macaron instead.  it's just down the street and the line is much shorter and i'm willing to bet you'll be just as satisfied or possibly more so.

mcclure's pickles

this jar of McClure's pickles may or may not have cost me $10 bucks but they certainly are worth it!!  just call me a pickle snob.. i'm good with it.

my roommates laughed at me when i made 10 quarts of chili but who's laughing now?  definitely not them or the guests i had over to watch the niners vs. saints game.

oops i forgot to take a picture of the actual chili, i barely snapped this photo before i washed the pot.
