Best Stoner Cuisine in D.C.

Now that marijuana is (sort of) legal in Washington, D.C., the blog DCist presents a timely story on the best stoner cuisine in the District. For instance, as seen in the video above, try a U Street Taco. You start with a chili-topped half-smoke from Ben’s Chili Bowl, then take it down the street to a pizzeria that sells giant slices. Wrap half-smoke, bun and all, in pizza, and voilà! U Street Taco. Or try one of the homemade Pop Tarts from Ted’s Bulletin. Or fried chicken and bacon sandwiched between halves of a maple brioche donut bun topped with buttered pecans at GBD!

Do You Want to Prepare Your Own Food at a Restaurant?

Presumably, one of the reasons you go out to a restaurant for a meal is to get out of the kitchen. So it seems a little strange to cook your own food once you get there, yet that seems to be a growing trend. The Old Spanish Sugar Mill and Griddle House in De Leon Springs, Florida has been putting their customers to work for some time, pouring, garnishing, and flipping their pancakes on a grill in the center of the table. You’ll also find eateries where you’ll grill your own steak and even fix your own cocktail. At least someone else does the dishes and grocery shopping! Read more about the trend here.
