Alton Brown Finds Some Good Eats in D.C.

Alton Brown played the Warner Theatre yesterday for two showings of his "Alton Brown Live! The Edible Inevitable Tour", and in one day, he did a nice little food tour of Washington. Let's start with breakfast. Brown stopped in at new designer donut shop District Doughnut in Capitol Hill.

What a way to start the morning, DC. Thanks, @DCDoughnut #ABRoadEatsDC #AltonBrownLive pic.twitter.com/3GFVmy85iH

He also visited Ben's Chili Bowl, because that's what visiting celebs do. And Ben's Chili Bowl posted the photo opp as well on their Facebook.

Then in the afternoon, Brown crowdsourced where to go for a late Sunday dinner:

Hey guys: I need a rec for dinner in DC tonight (must be open late on a Sunday). #ABRoadEatsDC #AltonBrownLive

Suggestions poured in: Rasika, Old Ebbitt Grill, Red Hen, 2Amys, Rose's Luxury, Pizza Paradiso, The Hamilton, Founding Farmers, Busboys & Poets and Zaytina. Someone suggested Oyamel, and Oyamel tweeted at Brown encouraging him to stop by. And so he did.

I'm coming here for my next vacation @oyameldc. Thanks, @chefjoseandres #ABRoadEatsDC pic.twitter.com/JwLJYhrOby
