ABOVE: Breakfast at my sister’s house.
2/01/2010
While in D.C. visiting family this weekend, we stopped at the new A.M. Wine Shoppe in Adams Morgan for a couple of things. Their Italian speck and and air-cured bresaola, pork rillettes and a baguette from Lyon Bakery made for a pretty decent breakfast.
Then it was on to Eastern Market, which reopened in the original location last year after a fire shut it down in 2007. It’s pretty much the same and Market Lunch is still pretty darn good, though a little pricey considering we are talking Southern fried food.
Let’s not forget Bourbon on 18th Street NW, where they actually stock J.T.S. Brown.
BEST LINE FROM FAST EDDIE IN THE HUSTLER: “Preacher! Go on down and get me some bourbon. J.T.S. Brown. No ice. No glass.”

great trip report Chris. DC is bustling with great food and its awesome that you shared it. that eastern market looks deadly.

For what most people consider to be a boring town, there really is a lot going on in DC. Too much for me to get into on a short blog post.
I have really good guides in my sister and brother-in-law. They know what’s going on down there in terms of food.
