At Home: Turkey Chili

Fall is here and so is football season and more common in our house...baseball playoffs.  Keith wanted to make his "one pot" Turkey Chili for a game time meal and it was the perfect cloudy and cool day to feature on What Micky Eats...At Home.  By cooking everything in one pot, this dish is super easy for game day parties and convenient for quick clean up.  Keith tends to like his chili on the spicy side and has a few secret ingredients to give it extra heat.  We always serve it over white rice, with cheese and sour cream on top. Sometimes I'll eat it with tortilla chips for extra texture. This chili warms my belly every time!

Ben's Chili Bowl

The first expansion of Ben’s Chili Bowl was in the Washington National’s Park, in 2008. The lines tend to get super long, so plan your attack strategically.  Enjoy a chili half smoke and all of your favorites at the Ben’s stands while watching a game this season.

Summary: The newest adventure from the team that owns Matchbox and Ted's Bulletin, DC-3 brings various hot dog dishes from across the region. Closest Metro is Eastern Market.

This fun, casual spot is great for grown-ups and kids alike. Sample one of the 21 different hot dog combinations to satisfy that familiar craving or create your own. From the classic all beef frank to pork sausage dogs to the veggie falafel dog, DC-3 has something for everyone. The dogs themselves were decent, although Keith felt they could have been bigger. I agree, as there was extra bread on my dog as well. Also, the prices seem a bit high for just one dog. The veggie chili was good with hearty beans and vegetable flavor. Given that they just opened, service is still a little frazzled. But I am sure they will get into a routine flow soon.
