DC is known for its hard-working citizens, politics, and history. On this episode of “5 Buck Lunch,” we're going to show you why DC should also be known for its flavorful and affordable falafel. Standard falafel isn’t hard to find in DC, but the combination of affordable and next-level, mind-blowing, deliciousness can be quite challenging to find. Don't worry, we've got you covered. That is, after all, why Thrillist is your go-to, be-all and end-all, for food recommendations. Join host Kimberly Kong in the nation’s capital as she challenges NYC host Cody Reiss in the battle of the best falafel our ducats can buy. We’re going to a local spot where every delicious meal ordered also helps feed a refugee -- Falafel Inc in Georgetown. You know the rules: We’ve only got $5, so we need to make every penny count. Let’s go!
Thrillist is bringing back its popular cheap-eats show, but bigger and better than ever with three new hosts. Every week, we’ll explore all the best places to eat (that actually taste good) for under $5, and not a penny more. This season, we’re taking it beyond just New York City and traveling to Washington, DC and the San Francisco Bay to show you where to get the best bang for your buck. So if you need a break from the expensive, the chains, or you’re just looking for new places to try in your city, this is the show for you. Welcome to “5 Buck Lunch.”
