Loosen Your Belts: D.C. Meat Week Has Begun

Can you smell the smoked pork in the air? D.C. Meat Week is upon us again, with daily events showcasing some of the city’s best barbecue. The festivities kicked off yesterday, but tonight, head to Hill Country Barbecue's downstairs dining room for an all-you-can-eat evening. The $25 feast will include platters of brisket, pork spare ribs, chicken, plus sides like skillet cornbread and cheddar mac and cheese.
