Join a different kind of conversation about food in our nation’s capital. Best Thing on the Menu (BTM) is the DC food blog where it’s fun to disagree! Adventures around culinary Washington lead to posts announcing the must-get items on menus. Those that don’t agree with BTM’s top pick can post their favorites in the comments section. BTM empowers DC diners to order with confidence. Take Kapnos for example:

Tender shredded duck fills freshly-baked phyllo dough topped with tart cherries and tangy pistachio yogurt. Each order comes with two triangles, so order accordingly, or you’ll contribute to making doubling-up at dessert a true trend. Continue reading.

See if your favorite restaurant is on BTM.
