You can’t tell us that you don’t make a beeline straight for party platters when you see deviled eggs, then eat 2 or 5 immediately. Few things say summer quite like these zesty, creamy bundles of bliss. We believe in fegginism, but whoever thought to give yolks a sadistic, slutty workover then stuff them back in their own cradles, we would like to shake her filthy, paprika-stained hand. Don’t wait for a 4th of July picnic to bite. They’ve had quite a revival in the District:

Lauren is a travel guru with a ceaseless case of wanderlust. She’s traveled around the world quite a few times where she’s dined on everything from alligator to zebra. Now that she has settled in the District, she’s always on a quest for the next culinary marvel (fried chicken and donuts, anyone?). She enjoys all things that include carbs, cheese and sauce and never says no to a good beer. If she’s not working in the travel industry by day or going to grad school by night you might spy her at a food truck or roasting a leg of lamb in her kitchen.
