SUCCOTASH

"Penn Quarter’s opulent Southern restaurant offers an epic happy hour every day of the week (11:30 a.m. to 8 p.m. on weekdays and 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. on weekends). Deals include Southern sangrias for $7 and a bourbon punch with clarified milk for $8. A selection of snacks include deviled eggs for $1.50 a pop, $5 hush puppies, and $2 smoked chicken wings. Another location sits in National Harbor." - Claudia Rosenbaum, Tierney Plumb, Vinciane Ngomsi

"“We stumbled on the Succotash. They have a sort of a New Orleans feel to it. We figured, the shrimp and grits gotta be good here, you know? Which is exactly what we ate and it was good. Now, I don't like spicy foods, and this had a kick to it, but it was real tasty. It was a lot of people just hanging out. They had some jazzy New Orleans bluesy type of music playing in the background. It was a good vibe.”" - tristiana hinton

"Chef Edward Lee and KNEAD Hospitality + Design’s Southern staple curbs a carbs fix with Weisenberger Mills cornbread cakes. Sweet sorghum butter and seasonal jams are served on the side ($8.25)." - Tierney Plumb

"Succotash’s Korean take on the classic pays homage to chef Edward Lee’s roots, made with Svedka vodka, spicy gochujang, fire-roasted tomato, and horseradish ($12.50). A second option swings Southern, spiked with Old Forester bourbon instead of vodka." - Claudia Rosenbaum, Tierney Plumb
