I ate Roy Boys for lunch today…OG Chicken sandwich was very good. Will return before a club show (Stereolab?) to try other menu items.

Small space, extensive bar. I bet that place gets crazy at night tho.

The menu didn't list ice cream tacos as a separate item, but advised prospective diners to inquire within. I failed to do so, and instead went to Pitango for their pistachio gelato. Highly recommended. 4 stars.

Jerry's generally does (did?) a decent job, but still subject to all the pitfalls noted in the link.

speaking of the Krusty burger

America's new favorite restaurants are Wawa, Sheetz and 7-Eleven

In "Vacation," National Lampoon's 1980s classic, Chevy Chase jokes, "I'm so hungry. I could eat a sandwich from a gas station."

Can one acquire Birchmere's legendary food when the show is in the flex stage part of the venue?

Went and picked up brisket and a few sides at http://www.2fiftybbq.com last night. They set up at a Farmer's Market near College Park every Thursday and Sunday.

I am no BBQ expert and DC clearly lacks anything to write home about, but holy shit this was delicious. It's been raved about by the WaPo and a few other spots, so I'd recommend getting here before it starts selling out daily! YSOA.

Trial and error of eating a lot of shitty DC BBQ and then finding a diamond in the rough.
