One of my favorite experiences was visiting Ben's Chili Bowl, a D.C. institution since 1958. The iconic chili dog joint has been featured in numerous films and TV shows, and it's easy to see why - the atmosphere is electric, and the food is top-notch. I also had the pleasure of trying out some of the city's famous eateries, like Old Ebbitt Grill, which serves up classic American fare with a twist.

From fresh seafood to handmade pasta, there's something for every taste bud. I also had the pleasure of visiting the historic Union Station Farmers' Market, which offers an array of local produce and specialty items.
