Looking for top-notch affordable vegan food in DC? Well we've got your back. There are several spots that you can go for pretty good vegan options, but there are only a few places where you can get great vegan cuisine for five bucks or less. Luckily for you, we're putting you on to a spot that's actually delicious and affordable, offering savory Kimchi Trolley Fries. Join host Kimberly Kong as she takes us to one of the best vegan restaurants in DC for the cheapest lunch our bucks can buy. We’re going to a local gem that’ll satisfy all your vegan desires -- Pow Pow. This place has its own take on new Asian and American cuisine. You know the rules: We’ve only got $5, so we need to make it count... and we’ve definitely got you covered.
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 area 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.”
