Trip report:
Smokey Valley Truck Stop (DDD)Not worth it. DDD talks up the coconut cream pie, but it was far from special.
Hillbilly Hotdogs http://www.hillbillyhotdogs.comWorth the detour from the interstate. The “junk yard” dog was excellent and the place is a great photo opp.
Black Bear Burritos (Morgantown)http://www.blackbearburritos.com/
College bar. Live music, good beer, crazy burritos.
Ben’s Chili Bowlwww.benschilibowl.com
The half smoke was awesome and the atmosphere in the place is unmatched. Kind of like the movie barbershop, but in a restaurant.
La Tascahttp://www.latascausa.com/site/Excellent. Right up there with Mojito.
Good Stuff Eateryhttp://www.goodstuffeatery.com/Excellent burgers and rosemary, thyme fries. Owned by Spike from Top Chef.
Circa @ Duponthttp://www.circacafes.com/Casual upscale. Good cocktail list, solid pizza and Italian dishes.
The Black Squirrel Barhttp://www.blacksquirreldc.com/Awesome beer list, across from Julia’s Empanadas.
Julia's Empanadashttp://juliasempanadas.com/Excellent midnight snack
Wegmans Groceryhttp://www.wegmans.com/Best grocery store I have even been in. Whole Halibut and Snapper, Wagyu beef.
Maine Avenue Fish Markethttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maine_Avenue_Fish_MarketOpen air fish market with seafood cooked on the spot. Must see.
