Where to Get Crispy, Crunchy Fried Chicken Around D.C. - Eater DC
"Downtown food hall the Block is home to a Filipino American fast-food menu from chefs Tom Cunanan and Paolo Dungca. Fried chicken sandwiches rely on a seasoning mix featuring tamarind powder and long pepper that tastes like sinigang, a sour soup. Adobo chicken nuggets with spicy banana ketchup are also a fan favorite. The menu draws inspiration from global fast-food chain Jollibee, which offers buckets of fried “chickenjoy” with brown gravy in Wheaton, Md. and a new Alexandria, Va. outpost." - Tierney Plumb, Eater Staff
