"Consistency is the name of the game at DC Eats, a popular counter-service spot by Southern. It’s hard to go wrong at this soul food haven, where daily specials reign supreme and typically sell out by 1 p.m. Tuesday is a particularly busy day, with smothered pork chops on the board, but then there’s Friday, when baked turkey wings and gravy are served with cornbread dressing. Still, some customer favorites are available daily, like the fried pork chop sandwich with potato salad, the Swedish meatballs, and of course, the wings." - Clair Lorell
