Carla Hall’s Favorite DC Restaurants

"“[The Ethiopian restaurants in DC are] a part of our culture and community, and I love that we as a community understand that we have to take care of these restaurants otherwise they will go away. The injera is a bottomless pit. If they see that you don’t have any, they are bringing more. It’s just constant. It’s like, ‘Oh my gosh, why am I so full?’ It’s because they keep filling your water glass and they keep bringing you injera. They have this combination platter of chicken and beef, and with that, they have sides like  Ethiopian potato salad and tomato salad. We had the Ethiopian red pepper fish. The red lentils were amazing, and the cabbage with carrots. The vegetarian entree sampler with protein, that’s the way to go. The one thing that I like to do if things are spicy, if they are rich, I always order something raw, even if it doesn’t come with it. So I’m always getting something raw, something cold, because I go back to that to reset my palate to continue to eat. Because I’m literally a professional eater. People can’t believe how much I eat. That’s also the reason that sometimes I will order hot tea, because the tea washes your palate, it clears your tongue, and it helps you get ready for the next bite.”" - brennan carley
