Presidential candidates Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump will continue to duke it out at several debates this election season. The next one is Sunday evening.
No matter what a person's political preference, all can vote that accompanying food and drink specials are always winners that take the edge off.
Since August, Eater has been frequently updating a growing guide for election specials around town.
While the Republican and Democratic camps nervously await how each debate night will play out in front of millions of Americans, the only debate D.C. eaters and drinkers need to have is what to order next.
Here are some Eater picks for the feisty face-off.
