Washington D.C.

28 Jun

The most wonderful part about traveling for a foodie like myself is eating.  My camera is often cluttered with images of delicious meals as opposed to tourist sites. Call me crazy, but I’d rather look at a photo of a plump pink piece of shrimp over a monument.

On my family vacation to Washington D.C. I made sure to capture my foodie adventures.

I apologize beforehand for not visiting one of the hundred or so food trucks in the city. Apparently they do not run on weekends and the ones that do did not fit into my family’s itinerary. Disappointment still dwells inside of me.

Take a look of the places that fed me well.

Dean and Deluca 

 I had never been to Dean and Deluca previously. I fell in love with it the second I walked in. It’s almost like the love child of the Harrods Food Hall and Whole foods. I’m pretty sure I heard angels sing when I swung open the entrance doors.

Beautiful Sushi always makes me giddy.

Scrumptious Breads

Mac and Cheese blocks

Gigantic brownies

Who needs a stick when you can eat cake in one bite?
