Food Porn: DGS Deli



Food Porn: DGS Deli

This past weekend, I was all over the place. I ate some awesome Korean food in Virginia, went to a Dayton Flyers basketball game at GW's arena (alas, we lost in overtime), and on my way back from the game, just happened to be on the 42 bus passing by this deli as my friend Sam mentioned he was checking it out. I quickly got off the bus and backtracked to DGS Deli.

DGS, located in Dupont Circle, opened a few months ago and had boasted that it's an authentic, Jewish deli with all the fixins'. I'd learn from my friend, as well as others who have visited, that while Jewish deli-inspired, not quite what one would call a TRADITIONAL Jewish deli.

But...the food was great. We tried the Reuben, a pickle platter, some knish, spicy brisket balls, and other delightful dishes, washed down with a cocktail, or in my case, a dark cherry soda. All in all a good place to check out, a little bit pricey, but that's what you get when you graze and keep ordering more and more nibbles. Oy vey.
