"Every now and then, you just want that highway diner-style breakfast, without having to find one on the side of the road somewhere outside town. Enter Silver Diner, the 21st-century version of the classic American diner based out of Rockville, Maryland. We like stopping by the Navy Yard location before and after Nats or DC United games when all you can think about is something fried and filling—and fast. With dozens of Silver Diners in the DMV and counting, an outpost is probably close. To truly capture that elusive savory-sweet balance, go with the french toast drizzled with salted caramel and powdered sugar." - mekita rivas, omnia saed, tristiana hinton
