So I saw that SOKO was trending for best Philly cheesesteak in DC. So when I saw that they had…read moreHarvey's in Union Market, I figured I had to check out to continue my search for best Philly Cheesesteak outside of Philly (Angelo's, Uncle Gus, and John's being my top 3 in Philly). Let me start with the cheesesteak. I am a firm believer that an amazing cheesesteak has to nail the 3 components: 1) quality meat, 2) gooiness of the cheese, 3) freshness of the roll. Harvey's nailed the meat. The gooiness of the cheese was inconsistent but I do like their take on their own wiz. The roll was eh. Also, the onions were just thrown into the meat instead of being car elided on the flat grill. I think what really took my by surprised was the staff. The cook seemed to be on break eating while I waited for my order. Now it was a little dead in Union Market. I showed up around 5ish on a Friday night. But I was a little caught off guard when watching the staff during the making of my sandwich. Just expected a higher standard. If I lived in the area, I love the availability of getting fresh quality cuts of meat as they have available for your viewing pleasure. Their menu of sandwiches available here still look great. But now that I've tried their cheesesteak, I don't feel the need to stop for it again.

A good experience at Let's Meat On The Avenue. A local butcher shop providing virtually all of your…read moremeat requirements. They claim to source from local suppliers when possible and their beef is humanely and pasture-raised. They also prepare fresh sausage, weekly. Also available here is food for animals, smoked meats, animal fat for cooking, and grill products. The prices are a bit steep considering the meat is some of the highest quality you can get without having access to a local farm or raising and butchering your own livestock. The customer service is friendly. I do recommend researching and having knowledge of the specific cut of meat you desire before going to this butcher or any butcher for that matter. Butchers have a tendency to recommend alternatives when they are out of a specific cut. Many times they are spot on, but for the seemingly uneducated it can be an opportunity for bad businesses to offload a lesser or expiring cut for as much if not more expensive. On one visit I wanted boneless short rib and the butcher here appropriately recommended Denver cut which is the alternate name for this cut. A novice might not know this. Overall a good experience. I'll visit again when in the area.

I just love this spot. I've been coming here over the years to get my fill of Pennsylvania Dutch…read moretreats, which allows me to get from DC without having to drive all the way to Pennsylvania. This spot has so many wonderful food stands. Upon walking in, you can pick up a cart to explore all of the stands. My kids love this place as much as me since you can find so much variety. Our first stop is the very busy Amish soft pretzel stand. My kids love the standard soft pretzel dipped in melted butter and topped with rock salt. My personal favorite are the stuffed soft pretzels like the pretzels stuffed with roast beef and cooper sharp cheddar. Nothing tastes better! There are also many other stands that offer fresh produce, meats, cheeses and baked goods. I particularly like Bieler's Donuts, the same place you'll find packed lines in Philadelphia right here. It's such a fun place and my kids love it. But most importantly, this is dad's spot!

Clark & Kent? Calvin & Klein? Clefairy & Kabuto? Calvin & Katy?…read more Ooooooooooooooooh Calvin & Katy. So, it's basically a butcher, inside the Amish Market in rural Maryland, and their specialty is Jerky. In that sense it reminds me of Czuchraj meats in the West Side Market of Cleveland, which is my fave Jerky in the world. Or one that I tried at Brewfest in Buffalo which was amazing. This jerky is more bland and less good than the aforementioned, and since the service of my jerky wasn't too friendly (surprisingly), I'll stick with 4. It is good jerky though and well worth a try if you're a fan of this type of preserved meat. Speaking of preserved meat...

This store is old and dated. It's not tidy. It smells like a seafood market when you enter. In the back of the store where the seafood department is they have open carts with shrimp on ice. I stopped in to buy a Mexican Coke. It's cheaper at Mega Mart down the street, but I was in this shopping area and it's super convenient from my workplace. For cheap produce nearby, you can go to OK Mart across Kenilworth. It's newer and cleaner.
