"The early morning breakfast crowd flocks to Farmers & Distillers, and for good reason. Open at 7am every day, the Chinatown restaurant sits on the corner of Mass Ave. and 6th St., making it easy to get to whether you’re driving, walking, or taking the metro. And it has New Orleans-adjacent beignets, fluffy pancakes, and a huge dining room that can fit anyone’s needs. Whether you’re coming for a quick pre-work breakfast with a coworker or looking for a spot to meet up with a friend who's visiting, Farmers & Distillers meets the mark." - omnia saed, mekita rivas, tess shiras, allison robicelli
"December 25th is just one of the 365 days on the calendar. And to mark it as a regular day, you can have a regular meal at Founding Farmers & Distillers. (That said, if you are looking for something special, they're also offering a Christmas buffet at select locations.) The Chinatown spot is busy all day, every day, and Christmas will likely be the same. It’s a quaint, casual place that we love for breakfast—get the blueberry pancakes—but it also has a large lunch and dinner menu that’s great for families." - tristiana hinton, madeline weinfield
"The meal: A $47.50 three-course prix fixe menu, plus a takeout option. Founding Farmers, along with its sister restaurants Farmers Fishers Bakers and Farmers & Distillers, is a great option for those looking to eat anything but turkey. The restaurants are offering the same three-course menu, where you can choose from seven main course options like ham, fried chicken, prime rib, and pan-seared whitefish. There’s also turkey if you really can’t let it go." - omnia saed, tristiana hinton
"The long-running American restaurant scattered all over the DMV has kept its “Devil-ish” eggs on the menu for a reason. The top seller ($12.99) comes in classic, ham, or combo varieties. During weekday happy hour at the bar, a smaller order costs $3.99." - Tierney Plumb
"This Chinatown spot is open all day, but we like it for breakfast because it opens at 7am every day and is easy to get to, no matter how you’re getting around DC. The huge dining room fills up early with locals having a quiet coffee before work and tired parents with kids who don’t care about the hour. Get the crispy New Orleans-adjacent beignets and fluffy pancakes. " - tristiana hinton
