The Best Restaurants in Washington, D.C., From Laotian Cuisine to Steakhouses | Condé Nast Traveler

"For a quick (and decadent) lunch or dinner, don’t miss D.C.’s spin on Nashville hot chicken. This black-owned business got its start as a food truck, and thanks in part to a viral tweet in 2019 that brought in crowds, the Roaming Rooster team now operates nine storefronts (and has a presence at Nats Park). The sandwiches here are massive, and Roaming Rooster sweats the details: All of the crunchy buttermilk fried chicken is grain-fed, antibiotic-free, free-range, and halal. Choose your spice level from mild to inferno-level extra hot, and then go for sandwiches topped with everything from buffalo sauce to ranch dressing and bacon." - Adele Chapin
