Horace and Dickie's on Man vs Food

Adam's hunger quest takes him to Washington, DC, where he visits Horace and Dickie's
this is one of my favorite places in DC if you love southern food you have to try this place

[@mitchellries256]

I had that sandwich when I was in DC, and I can assure you every time I visit that city, I will not leave without having one of those.😋

[@stevelogan5475]

Thee guy at the table said his standard was 4 pieces of fish, but he wants to say, leave me alone so i can eat my fish,lol.

[@stevelogan5475]

I did not know that jackie/big mamma bought the place, that makes me want to go even more because she was already proud of the quality of the food and her cooking skills, etc... this way, with her owning the place i can be sure of a quality product when i get the opportunity to visit. She is a great lady who cares about the quality of the food, and i do not think she would hire/keep an employee who was doing a half-hearted job on preparing the food, at least that is the impression i get from her in this mvf episode. God bless her and may her business prosper.

[@Tyrunner0097]

1:09 I love that woman's response. "Probably. Because it's THAT good."

[@stevelogan5475]

Tyrunner0097 if she eats it all, i must ask her to marry me,lol

[@ICEGOD2]

Dip it in there damn it.

[@stevelogan5475]

ICEGOD2 dip it in there adam, with your big melon head,lol

[@Rob774]

I went there a couple years back... excellent! I went because of this episode. I wonder what the impact of these shows have on business. Most locals are already aware, but perhaps tourists finally learn about it because of the show.

[@stevelogan5475]

I can tell you from 1 episode that chaps pit bbq in baltimore had to open a second location, and their 1st location rocketed, they went from about 6 employees to about 30

[@Rob774]

​@@stevelogan5475 Glad it has such a positive impact on business.

[@virg0_lem0nade]

omg she and adam are so funny and sweet together. love it. i wish those two would host a cooking show together

[@espowell1640]

The fish really does crank too...

If this doesn’t make you want a fish sandwich I don’t know what will

[@CHOCOVIXEN85]

Going today can't wait

[@MrAchilles121]

watching this while im all the way here in NZ sighhh our country needs to learn and get some of these foods in here lol looks so good!! the only thing i can do is recreate this at home with the ingredients i can get but it will never be as good as big momma''s recipe mmmmmm!! mmmmm!!

[@TheButter202]

we have places like this all over America , trust me, making it at home will be just as good if not better

[@JourTheeOnly]

I been DC once in my life and I made sure I when to Horace and Dickies because of Adam Richman and this episode

[@stevelogan5475]

Phonso was it worth going there ?, because i might be in that area soon

[@stevelogan5475]

I live oin ky.,but in cinti,oh. There is a very similar restaurant named alabama fish market and it is good

[@yct1976]

That's my place, love it! My first time sold me! Big momma, you are so funny! Loving you girl! You and ur staff make that small place pop! My GramaJane was right! Food is DA BOMB!!!

[@karlanderson6149]

If I was him, Ida took big momma to pound town.

[@cristobal2GR]

[@nighthawknina86]

i just have to say how happy i am that this portion is online. this is one of my fave episodes all because of how awesome big mama and adam are together, so funny!

[@jeraldbing8417]

There closing March 1st I just went yesterday

[@stevelogan5475]

Please , nooooooo

[@usernamevince1]

Excellent!!! Luv Big Mama!!!!

[@BeautiFullyManed]

What are your thoughts as to which was better? I know this thread is old, but I was just watching Man v Food. I visited when the original owners had it. It was slap-yo-mamma, I-want-to-marry-you awesomeness, and then some. You just asked for a fish--no number pieces asked--and you got 4-5 big pieces of fish, two slices of bread wrapped to go. Lines were always around the corner and down the block. I visited once when Big Mamma bought the place. She was selling the fish by pieces. Didn't know, so I was surprised. But Big Mamma was warm and funny, and working her recipe and food style.

[@persuadero]

the best fish ever. Cheap and amazing.

[@persuadero]

I had to move to arizona in 2012. This was one of my places I miss most.

[@disco07]

Always like H&D. One of my favorites. Never seen big mama but she can make my next fish.

[@Joeybsmooth]

I met Big Mama when I went there .. she is so nice .

[@mamachills]

the whole wheat sandwich bread (wonder) definitely makes the sandwich just that much better. i would rather have a fish sandwich from horace & dickie's than anyplace else, they are definitely the best. on a nice spring/summer day, pick up a fish sandwich there, go over to the park a few blocks away (i forget which park). you will be in heaven. if you are in new haven and can't get to horace & dickie's, d'amato's has the best fish sandwich in town.

[@stevelogan5475]

I will call jackie big mama , but only if she calls me big daddy, what a sweetheart, i think we are of the same religion also

they opened a new location in tackhoma park DC

[@CooManTunes]

Eight slices of (supermarket) bread. I highly doubt this place has such a diverse following.

Cod?

[@yct1976]

Oh yeah, love ya Adam!

[@stevelogan5475]

Why are they closing ?, please everyone chip in a little to keep it open if it is a money thing, rent, etc....

[@scrpn1106]

fish is good I have been a resident since before horace and dickies @ scoutwanderer where did you attend school ?

[@charliedb13]

I was very disappointed with the food. Was not ready for it to be a take out only too. I can make better tasting fish at home. That and I must have gone at a bad time because everyone was acting like a total asshat.

[@stillyas85]

I have been watching this clip for years. This show was so much fun.

[@rexschmidt93]

The original is going away, but what makes me feel better is knowing that there are other locations.

[@MulToyVerse]

Hot sauce on fish?

[@vatogamer4882]

Ate this but we had to walk in a rainstorm outside because they didn't have anywhere to eat

[@crashwarrior]

see there's thing's in life better than sex!!! never to taste food again or never have sex again? what would you choose?

[@bresams2917]

Oh my goodness. I just wish I could try it 😭

[@nighthawknina86]

The secret is in the flavor adam, the taste is in the flavor, the business is prospering because of the flavor, they will stay in business because of the flavor, lol, you have an mba from yale, the whole place runs on flavor, lol. Make the place as fancy as you want, but no flavor = out if business, not rocket science, lol, you know that

This was a great episode and i really like to watch man vs. Food, i like adam richmann and never missed an episode. I did not mean to offend you in any way or your production, if anything i would have been trying to keep adam from getting his butt kicked by jackie/big mama, lol for the secret, lol, i''m sorry if i offended you, was not meant to be offensive, have a great day my friend.

[@stealinglight]

​@@stevelogan5475 no hurt feelings mate I'm never serious either, this is just the internet. I use to live in DC and I really miss having Big Mama's fish

[@stevelogan5475]

@@stealinglight just wanted you to know i was only joking, i'm retired at 56 but my wife is in the upper hierarchy with the IRS, and she makes trips to D.C. periodically. Next time she goes ,,( i have to pay my way, but i'm going with her for the food, lol) i'm going to 2 places to eat for sure, horace & dickies for the 6 filet jumbo fish sandwich, and ben's chili bowl for the half smoked sausage and a bowl of chili . After watching this episode, i can see how you would miss a place like this, fish looks delicious. We live now in northern kentucky, not far from cincinnati, ohio. There is a place there called " the alabama fish market", almost identical to horace & dickies, they serve the whiting fish, etc... just like horace & dickies, i am only appx. 30 minutes from there. If you are ever in that area on a trip, etc.. make sure you go, you'll get a taste of D.C., they do a ton of business. Anyway, just wanted you to know i was only joking about adam with the flavor comments, lol, i thank you for accepting my apology mate, there was no harm/disrespect intended friend.
