As someone who grew up in DC I will never understand why anyone would go out of their way (or along their way) to eat at Ben’s. Literally you can burn a can of chili on your stove top at home and have a nearly identical experience, the only difference being that it was actually better because you’re already at home by your bathroom.
Call Your Mother is the trending deli, but Stachowki's is the OG sandwich shop; especially the pastrami sandwich. Also, Bub and Pop's is another outstanding sandwich shop near Dupont Circle. Tabard Inn is great for breakfast/brunch
It wasn’t even the original CYM, which is the one on Georgia Ave! I remember back before they became a chain not being able to get seats because it was packed from 9am until close. It makes me miss Bethesda Bagels when they were in Dupont. Not the same level of instagram worthiness, but better bagels.
Heading to DC On Friday, this was really helpful! I like how you describe your tasting experience. A very scenic word choice. We are hoping to capture the cherry blossoms so Ben's looks ideal for local and loving it lunch stop!
So many haters about Ben's Chili Bowl! It's a tourist spot for a reason -- thanks for going, I'm excited to try it out! Can you let me know what microphone you guys use? Your audio, in general, all throughout, sounds amazing!
SOOooo much appreciated for not showing you chewing and biting every DAMN bite like a lot of TH-cam video out there... just bite, access, move on... not trying to watch people eating a whole damn meal😂
Cute video. You definitely picked some almost Taurus traps between Ben's which is also historic of course and Georgetown cupcake, but call your mother is the real thing and l'ardente is as well.
When and if you travel, to D.C. Don’t forget to try out the Old Ebbitt Grill, they have the most amazing knock in your sox pancakes, and any other breakfast, items etc, !!!!!!!! 👌👍😏
If visitors had any idea old ebbitt grill was so close to the mall it would be impossible to get in.l went so many times with my dad in the 60sand70 with my dad he worked at fruit basket. sonooky was a good friend of his for years
Thanks for sharing with us as always you guys! Yall brought me back to my time living in DC. I miss it a ton! If yall ever make it back there, you have to try Founding Farmers! A little pricy, but the food is so amazing! They also buy directly from American farmers!

Bens Chili Bowl and Georgetown cupcakes are crazy overrated and are objectively bad. I would avoid them. Replacments I would go to that satisfy the same itch are Roaming Rooster and Baked & Wired. The reason why is Ben Chilli Bowl Chilli is incredibly bland, while a bunch of Georgetown cupcakes flavors taste worse than grocery store bought somehow.
@@MOTM1234 I won't pretend that I have the culinary taste that encompasses all cultures because even within cultures, there are sub-regions that have differences which I haven't explored but my tastes are pretty expansive. I don't know anything about you but based on your one biased poorly stated opinion, I'm confident to say my taste is profoundly more expansive than yours.
the only place you guys went that was good was call your mother and thats just decent the rest of those spots are trash . ko chix , lucky buns , cake room , new heights , filoa , baked and wired dangerously delicous pies, dumping and beyond wingos . those are good places to eat and their all local. take it from a retired dc chef .
lardente is solid, underrated italian restaurant imo but definitely got more fame after the Obamas' dined there. Really good dishes that are still affordable. But yea, this list was pretty weak overall.

Love the pic of Michael with Virginia at Ben and Virginia’s Chili Bowl ❤ and all the scenery and restaurants in D.C. 🎉
Baked and Wired in Georgetown is a great coffee and cupcake option....better than Gtown Cupcake in my opinion.
No one eats at Ben's Chili Bowl unless they are 1) drunk 2) a tourist 3) both.

I love how you describe all the flavors and the experience of eating the wonderful food from DC.
Thanks so much!
I'm in DC right now and this video helped me so much! Thanks!

Me too have fun maybe I’ll see you there

Try the Old Post office or Union Station for food shopping.
For Irish food, go to Kelly's Irish Times or the Dubliner.
A cupcake place made your top foods list? That was the best you could come up with? Cupcakes?
SOOooo much appreciated for not showing you chewing and biting every DAMN bite like a lot of TH-cam video out there... just bite, access, move on... not trying to watch people eating a whole damn meal😂
Glad you enjoyed it and liked our style! :) Thanks for the nice comment!
The Ethiopian food looks so good and nourishing
Which Dolcezza was this? I would love to find that umbrella ☂️ street.

L9 Great video Good content to rev6 Food All the Food look so delicious . Love cup cake yummy
Thanks so much! Glad you liked it!

Not that the places you went to are bad, but they are definitely not the best in DC.
Any recommendations around Dupont Circle?

Love it ❤🎉❤
Ben's Chili Bowl is absolutely grotesque.
so many great places ignored here. Ben's is inconic. However, this is not a list of what I would consider the go to places to eat in DC.
Hey!

🙂 Glad you guys stayed safe.
Next time check out bethesda bagels instead of call your mother. Otherwise great reviews.

Bens chili bowl is flat out nasty. Drunk people at 3 AM just don't know any better.
Eat diliciues
Whoever gave y’all this list ain’t from DC or don’t like y’all 😂
Where would you suggest?
Eat mum drink cold water
NO GOOD MEXICAN FOOD???? ...
Jesus saith unto him , I am the way , the truth and the life ; no man cometh unto the Father but by me .
Sorry if I have given you trouble .
Call Your Mother Deli is absolute garbage, trash, nonsense
maybe slightly overrated but absolutely not garbage, trash.. just say you don't know food.
@@mynameisabe905tell me you’ve never eaten a real bagel or been to a real Jewish deli without telling me. Grow up and refine your palate, Chief.
@@MOTM1234 giving off Jewish male from Brooklyn vibes. I rest my case.
@@mynameisabe905 I implore you to expand your tastes. You'll eventually agree with me once do.

You won't catch me dead in DC eating. Only way to stay safe is to not go there
Looks like they made it out safely. Imagine that.

Thank you. Will be checking these spots out this weekend
❤ appreciate bro
Baked and wired definitely has better cupcakes in georgetown

On god!
