Bitten Euphoria: Founding Farmers Washington, DC

This weekend was filled with friends, family, love and of course FOOD! A friend of mine had set up some great places for us to try while in town. I must say she did a great job picking. Thanks Ms Pace!

Before dining at the choices on her itinerary, I went on a hot date to Founding Farmers. Of course it was crashed by a mini family member, but you know how it is with college students, if there's a free meal around, they come a running. Founding Farmers is a great restaurant close by Pepperdine and George Washington University and only a few blocks from the White House. They have an interesting background story which goes a little something like this:

Founding Farmers is a restaurant that is based of a small family of farmers. They literally only buy their foods from sustainable American farmers, and bring it directly to their guests. Everything they create is natural and organic. Their food is very tasty and you wouldn't believe the difference in taste in the meats, freshness is key.

He (my hot date) ordered the fried chicken with waffles, macaroni and cheese and collard greens. Sorry but I didn't take a picture. It was exactly how you would picture it, except the fried chicken was fried soft. It was pretty tasty. He wasn't that hungry so we nibbled on it the next day as left overs and it was very good.

I ordered the fried green tomatoes which are some of the best I've ever had and the Farmers Daughter burger which was bleu cheese, bacon and balsamic grilled onions. The burger was on a type of brioche bun that was slightly sweet. A great contrast to the tart bleu cheese and saltiness of the bacon. There was also a small side of natural cut french fries, that at first sight didn't look appetizing but upon touching your tongue, they were perfectly fried and salted.

I was very happy with my meal and would suggest Founding Farmers for brunch or dinner. Both menus have something for everyone.
