yeah, DC has great international food, but was curious about food items invented in/attributed to DC

an underrated Chicago one is jibaritos, which are sandwiches that use fried plantains in lieu of bread
 
wasn't old enough to catch it live but watched Pee-Wee's for a media class and my GOD what a beautifully weird show

I think I saw the movie before I watched the show tbh

Did DC popularize the stuff everything in a bowl quick service lunch place? obvi you had Chipotle before that, but they opened their Asian concept Shophouse in DC first (I loved that place) and then Sweetgreen and Cava got their start there. Not sure how it is now post-Covid but from like 2010-16 there were new bowl lunch places opening up all the damn time.
 
In just a few hours I'll be on plane Wi-Fi so I can try to go for the triple crown if you want

I can’t remember the last time I paid for food delivery to my location, home or otherwise. Has to be 5+ years

I had a wholesaler bring produce a few times and used to have milk delivered during 2020-21 but otherwise never

Yes fast casual is very DC, and tons of chains started here or got big here
 
There’s a shitton of great Ethiopian and West Indian food in DC

I think more of MD suburbs when I think Salvadoran, we go to a place in Takoma Park for pupusas
