Recommendations

"With all due respect to the sausage king of U Street (cough, Ben’s Chili Bowl, cough), this barbecue joint knows how to make a mean half-smoke."

"A half-smoke with barbecue is combining the best of both worlds! At DCity smokehouse, the half-smoke comes with a smoky brisket chili, jack and cheddar cheeses, onions, and mustard, on a potato hot dog roll. Although the location is a bit off the beaten path, it is completely worth it."
