Penn Quarter Comfort Foods

Posted by Columbo
July 29, 2007

Do you ever wake up on Sunday mornings, with no way to hold your head that doesn’t hurt? Perhaps you just have that feeling of melancholy, knowing the weekend is ending and another work week is about to begin?  Mrs Columbo calls that feeling the Sunday Blues.

There are probably a lot of ways to get rid of the Sunday Blues (although I don’t recommend the beer for breakfast/one more for dessert method), but this blogger prefers to sit down with one of the many available comfort foods in the neighborhood.  A personal favorite is the eggs Benedict at Bistro D’OC, and a strong case could be make for the noodle soups at Chinatown Express.  Now that they’re open on Sundays, the single greatest pizza in the world, Matchbox’s spicy meatball pizza, is also another fine option.

What other great comfort foods should we be considering in PQ?

I second corned beef hash at Waffle Shop!

This is a bit north of our neighborhood, but the breakfast biscuit sandwiches at Breakwell’s (9th and M) is AMAZINGLY good. It takes them a little while to assemble them, but they are fresh and delicious.

Other hangover cures include:
- Migas plate at Austin Grille
- Teaism’s Cilantro scrambled eggs with whole wheat scones
- a tower of onion rings from District Chophouse

The corned beef hash at Waffle Shop trifecta is complete. And the ribeye steak and eggs for $5 is a gristle-lovers delight, and I’m a monkey what likes his gristle. God, I’m going to miss those guys. The Del Ray Wafle (with one “f”) Shop just isn’t the same. They actually clean their blinds.
