DC Restaurant {Founding Farmers}

A favorite "farm to table" restaurant in DC, Founding Farmers offers an array of fresh items on its menu - and the ambiance is perfect for group conversations. And let's be honest - any restaurant in DC that offers mac n' cheese catches my eye...and stomach.

I've gone for both their dinner and brunch - and I have to admit, I don't like their brunch very much (I ordered their waffles and literally got one big waffle on a plate and that was it) but their dinner is wonderful. Each dish gives you a heaping amount and I feel like I have to get rolled out of there every time (Makes you wonder why they skimp on their brunch?)

Last week my mom was in town from Florida so we decided to hold a small Thanksgiving dinner together since I couldn't make it home. Every dish we ordered was delicious - and we had enough leftovers for 2 more dinners.

We started off with their bacon wrapped figs and blue cheese. You MUST order these if you go. It is one of my favorites.

Then we ordered their corn bread which comes out in a medium sized iron skillet and served with butter & honey--OMG. To die for.

For our meals, we ordered:
-side salad of iceburg lettuce, tomatoes & blue cheese (this "side" salad is a meal in itself)

We also ordered their mac n' cheese with ham - this is a heavy dish and we ordered this to share with the table. Unfortunately, I got too hungry and forgot to snap a picture but it came out in a heaping plate - I would be amazed if one person could finish this dish on their own!

I ordered the meatloaf with redskin mashed potatoes and a side of the Brussels sprouts.

Their homemade lemonade is also a favorite of mine - and if you aren't lactose intolerant like me - then try one of their milkshakes!

I definitely recommend Founding Farmers for a group dinner - and because they offer so much food for one dish, it's a great way to share and make it your own family-style dinner. 

Mom and I @ Founding Farmers- and pickled veggies behind us!

Enjoy! XO
