Food.Fun.Stuff: President Obama's Top Restaurants


With a new administration and a new city, the Obama's are also going to get some new eating habits: the D.C. restaurant scene. Well, first before we start shooting out suggestions for the family's new eateries, let's take a look at where they come from. The Obama's favorites in Chicago consisted of the following:

1. Pizza Italian Fiesta Pizzeria (Pizza place)
2. Topolobampo (Mexican food)
3. RJ Grunts (Burger joint)
4. MacArthur's (Soul Food)
5. Spiaggia (Ritzy dining experience-they celebrated their anniversary in October here.)

From this list, JKGF has made a DC match-made in heaven list so the Obama's feel right at home should they start feeling home sick in the District.

1. Pizzeria Paradiso (*Or 2 Amy's...although this spot might be kinda small with all the Secret Service and the regular restaurant patrons that would be there...but worth a go, kid friendly and group friendly:-)

2. Ceiba (Cool spot for getting some good Latin American food in the system...the margaritas and sangria's don't hurt either...)

3. Good Stuff Eatery (Good burgers, good folks, good stuff. Season 4 Top Chef contestant Spike owns this spot and has been receiving some rave reviews over the burgers cooked up over here...sounds like a winner!)

4. Daddy Grace's a.k.a. Saint's Paradise Cafeteria (Heart warming food for the soul that allows you to spend $10 and get back CHANGE...get it CHANGE?! ;-)

5. CityZen (The new anniversary, big celebration, special occasion, "I wanna make up really bad" spot...yeah this is the definitely a match for Spiaggia when you want to commemorate the special moment with its pricey menu, exquisite eats and polished decor;-)

Welcome to D.C. President Obama and family...NO, Welcome to the D.C. Restaurant and Food scene President Obama and family from the good folks of JKGF!;-)
