I live in DC and produce this show in DC and the first time I met up with Erica to hear her story was at this DC BBQ spot which is, in my opinion, the best BBQ in DC. Also, the vibe is exactly right, a bunch of picnic tables inside and outside, every kind of person is there, you can go get your own utensils and come to the counter and get your own food, and sort your own self out. And the food, especially the brussel sprouts and the baked beans are chef’s kiss perfect. That’s DCity Smokehouse, this is just free promo for my favorite local bbq spot. https://www.dcitysmokehouse.com/Become a patronSupport the show and get exclusive and behind the scenes content by becoming a monthly donor.
