Washington, DC is known for its amazing monuments and museums, which really come to life in the spring, but the BEST part about DC is all the amazing food! So, if you're going to DC you're going to have some great places to eat your food and drink your coffee.
We decided to consider any restaurant that was opened as far back as 2020 as new since there would have been limited time to experience that restaurant during COVID. We also considered restaurants that weren't new but either opened their first location or opened a new location as far back as 2020. Therefore, spots that started as pop-ups or food trucks made our list.

I just found your channel a few days ago. I think you have some of the best production values I've seen on KZbin. And Ben's is great! I'm hungry now.

[@TheDetourDuo]

Thank you so much! I'll tell you what. It definitely hit the spot.

Subscribed for the editing alone. Going to DC this weekend and that chicken and waffles looks bangin.

[@TheDetourDuo]

🙌🏾 thank you! Trust it's legit. I get chicken and waffles almost everywhere we go, and I'll vouch that it's solid. Waffle was standard. Chicken was tops!

[@angelino4629]

Omg!!! I went to college with Sara, always loved her energy and its super fun to watch y'all evolve this channel! Def got me wanting to explore around the country too. 💫

[@TheDetourDuo]

Omg hiiiii!! I’m so happy you came across our channel 🥰 hope you’re well, thank you for your support ❤️ - Sara

[@vladio123]

I enjoyed this video. Really good food reviews as well. Makes me want to travel to DC

[@TheDetourDuo]

Thank you. It’s definitely worth a visit if you haven’t been there before or in a long time

[@bbtiffy]

Great recs, great editing!!

[@TheDetourDuo]

Thank you!

[@snowflake9025]

We are heading to DC in July from Ireland to visit my sister in law who moved there in December. I have been trying so hard to find a good food video and yours is by far the best! (Sister in law is a vegetarian so can't really listen to her!) Easily subscribed!

[@TheDetourDuo]

Thanks so much!! Have a great trip!

[@GladysandKenny]

We visited Washington DC a few years ago and had a really good time. Thanks for taking us down memory lane. As always Great video!

[@TheDetourDuo]

It's changed so much since the last time we were there, but it was good to see some things hadn't changed

[@CamCity98]

This Washington, DC vlog looks awesome 🔥🔥

[@TheDetourDuo]

Thank you!

[@serenareyes7571]

Dope editing as usual. Love your food-centered vlogs!

[@TheDetourDuo]

Thank you, thank you! We're in NYC filming one now actually. We have one more DC video to post then we'll be posting that one!

[@wawawhale49]

My mouth is watering. I can’t wait to try some of these.

[@TheDetourDuo]

Definitely have to come back with your thoughts on them. We love hearing if we got it right.

[@dogsareprecious4842]

I LOVED learning about the Emancipation Parade, and how awesome that you two got to be there!

[@TheDetourDuo]

Honestly had no idea it was that weekend until we heard it on the radio. Well worth the stop

[@jordanh5486]

Great content

[@TheDetourDuo]

Thank you!

[@infolover_68]

I hate dinning and then watching great food in a easy-going video!! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@TheDetourDuo]

lol I know the feeling 🤣

[@Explorcation]

What....no wings 😖 well I guess if the back up is a giant slice 🍕 that would be ok 😆 You all had some amazing looking food in this episode, I already ate dinner but I think I will have to find a snack after watching this!

[@TheDetourDuo]

I was bummed out a little bit, but everyone says they're not the same anymore anyway. Sauce got too commercialized. They said the same about Ben's but it still tasted delicious to me.

[@edc6644]

I’m going to a wedding in New York this summer and was planning my drive from Atlanta to NYC. Your videos are helping me decide which cities to stop at on my trip. They are perfect! Exactly what I want to know. Coffee,food and what to see.

[@TheDetourDuo]

That's awesome! Where's the wedding in New York? We're in Manhattan getting a lay of the land now for a couple videos

[@frankchambers2114]

Nice video guys

[@TheDetourDuo]

Thank you!!!

[@sashatidwell9863]

Best DC food tour video I’ve seen by far! The videos you guys make are seriously good. Keep it up!

[@TheDetourDuo]

Thank you!!!! That's high praise. DC was amazing!

[@ericaguertin4536]

Your editing is insane!!! I’m moving to the DC area in about a month and this was really fun to get some ideas of where to go.

[@TheDetourDuo]

Thank you so much. Glad you enjoyed it. DC has a special place in my heart. What area are you moving to?

[@dogsareprecious4842]

Thank you for such a yummmmy experience! I'm from D.C., but never been to Ben's Chili Bowl....SOMEDAY I will go! I just found out they offer shipping of their yumminess!

[@TheDetourDuo]

Ben's is one of those places you go to for the experience, and then return to years later for the great memories. I wouldn't order it yet. You kinda have to be there first to really appreciate it

[@tonyterror7661]

GREAT VIDEO LOVE DC

[@TheDetourDuo]

Thanks!

[@prettyflytraveler]

Love the Emancipation Day footage!

[@TheDetourDuo]

It was hot out there but totally worth it. everyone was dancing and there was really good Go-go music and live bands playing

[@Srorsprimitive]

Like to DC so much they are happy together

[@TheDetourDuo]

We love DC! Thanks

[@TravelSpreeOfficial]

Digging the beard Tony!! 🧔🏾‍♂️

[@TheDetourDuo]

Salt and pepper is starting to come in strong 😅

[@user-ts6im4qo7s]

Love the frank comments!

[@TheDetourDuo]

Got to keep it honest!

[@iPodKingCarter]

tough

[@TheDetourDuo]

😤

[@dudebro9420]

Any recommendations on where to park?

[@TheDetourDuo]

Great question. Probably not the best person to ask because I usually park where I see a sidestreet with parking or a weekend meter and then walk, Uber, or even hop on the metro to get around if I'm spending the day exploring. There are parking lots. The one by the Capital One Area that I'd use often

[@dudebro9420]

@TheDetourDuo Thanks! I ended up parking by Tidal Basin lake/floral park parking which is 3 hr "limit". They make you download an app and input ur cars license and you can just keep reloading another 3 hrs when it's up.

[@RideandShineBicycling]

Very entertaining. I always look forward to seeing your videos. I love your camera work and your editing. I hit some of the same places with my biking channel ...who know maybe we will run into each other with our Gopros.😄

[@TheDetourDuo]

Thank you! We totally should. We're gearing up for a road trip down south in the coming months but we're thinking of hitting up Annapolis before we go

[@RideandShineBicycling]

@@TheDetourDuo We did an Annapolis bike tour by going on the B&A trail... a fun town. We ate at the Big Cheese! Didn't show it in our video but I think you guys would like it. Looking forward to seeing your trip down south.

[@perezxxkoni950]

❤️‍🔥I went with my school in April 18 2022 I liked the food I would like to return😞

[@TheDetourDuo]

When I was in school we used to make a trip to tour the monuments or go to one of the museums. Those were good memories!

[@TravelSpreeOfficial]

NEED that hotdog. Right now.

[@TheDetourDuo]

I could go for one right now actually!

[@TravelSpreeOfficial]

Ok 3:22 to 3:36… don’t know what that’s called. But WOW.

[@TheDetourDuo]

Thanks. Trying to incorporate the insta360 camera more in our videos. Works really well for hyperlapse and passage of time. Love this thing.

[@caenterprisellc6922]

I deserve a burger. 🍔 😆😂

[@TheDetourDuo]

I agree. We all deserve one! haha

[@jenrivard133]

Is YUMS still open for business? I remember eating there when I was like 18.

[@TheDetourDuo]

Yums II is . Idk about the original location. I hadn't had wings there for probably just as long 🤣

[@AnnaTravels]

When I was in my 20s everyone talked about how boring the DC food scene was, but def its awesome now. Mumbo sauce sadly tho is kind of dying out in DC. Most of the time it's just some generic sauce not like how it used to be.

[@TheDetourDuo]

It really has come up! The Ethiopian cuisine has always been solid, but it's kind of crazy to see so many spots pop up now. Yeah I kinda figured once I started seeing it being sold in grocery stores. Knew mumbo sauce wouldn't be the same after that

[@sydneymathuka4228]

Ok

[@TheDetourDuo]

ok

[@alexkay1109]

DC food is terrible (DC resident). This is a drunk eats tour 😂

[@TheDetourDuo]

Ok. Actually not mad at that. lol

[@DannyPimienta]

I agree…it’s basically just a hodge podge of trendy cuisines…

[@mariaaag1996]

Okk, can you give some spots that are good ? Visiting and so far went to Ben's chili's because of it being iconic.. and didn't love it.. what should I eat before leaving ?

[@zibak7]

Please stop saying Ben's Chill Bowl is the place to eat it nasty

[@TheDetourDuo]

You’re welcome to eat wherever you'd like. Thanks for watching!

[@newyorknewyork6546]

Yes. Do you?
