This week's spot needs no introduction to our GW students or any other DC regular. Founding Farmers is a well known farm inspired, eco-friendly, made from scratch, American style restaurant with a hip twist. Not only is all of their food made by them fresh from family farms and fisheries from across the US, but some of their drinks (like original sodas) are made there as well. As this was not our first time at Founding Farmers, Alex and I were pretty sure of what we were going to order.
Founding Farmers is one of those rare restaurants where you can indulge completely or stick to your strict diet, but either way the food always remains fresh and full of natural ingredients. TO START Alex and I ordered the Fried Green Tomatoes with a superb herb goat cheese spread. This is certainly a dish to be shared (depending on your hunger level) but none the less was fantastic. One thing every customer of Founding Farmers CANNOT miss is the corn bread. It is served warm out of the oven with pieces of corn in the bread and a honey butter spread to die for. It is enough for three or four but get ready to be fighting for the last piece.
After the cornbread we needed something other than water to quench our thirsts, so we ordered two housemade Grapefruit sodas. These drinks truly defined the fresh and local taste the restaurant has going for it. Paired with our sodas, we enjoyed the roasted Vegetable and Avocado sandwich. This grilled and crispy masterpiece was filled with tasty vegetables (roasted peppers, eggplant, cucumbers, and tomatoes) and perfected with multiple goat cheese and avocado spreads. The sandwiches and burgers at Founding come with the choice of a side; Alex and I went for the sweat potato fries, but there are other great alternatives as well.
Founding Farmers is a Certified Green Restaurant™,
which means that it is eco friendly and is particularly efficient in lighting,
recycling, heating and cooling, and many aspects of its architecture. Alex and
I give Founding Farmers the green thumb up and hope that some of our readers
will stop in soon!
Eat up,
Chris and Alex
