Founding Farmer's Restaurant-Our Founding Fathers Would Be Proud

Posted on August 20, 2009 - 12:08pm by jaclyn Last Friday, the Jaclynsphere had the chance to check out one of DC's most popular restaurants Founding Farmers

Quickly approaching their year anniversary, Founding Farmers has continually received recognition as a 2009 Top 100 Best Restaurant by Washingtonian Magazine and Top 50 Best New Restaurant Travel and Leisure Magazine.

After my Founding Farmers experience, it was no surprise why entertainers and athletes such as LeBron James, Kal Penn, Owen Wilson, Serena Williams and Leann Rimes  have been seen dining there. Even Soozie from Q's Beauty Reviews has dined there, 4 times in a row!!!



So what makes Founding Farmers "A list" in my book? Well aside from being a certified Green restaurant, as their website points out, "Founding Farmers believes that everyone benefits by knowing more about the sources of the food they eat. We understand the journey of our products from seed to harvest, and from Farm-to-Table. Owned by a collective of American family farmers, we promote the products and services of family farms, ranches, and fisheries. We celebrate and share the long-standing connection between farmers - the first to lead the “green” movement - and their historic stewardship of natural resources."

They even have a new iPhone app, read about it on Twitter @foundingfarmers

So if you happen to visit the Nation's Capitol and want to experience the top sites, be sure to stop into Founding Farmers (it's only two blocks from the White House).

The Jaclynsphere recommends the following lunch course:

To Drink- Founding Farmers Mint Limeade

To Start Off-A fresh baked flat bread. I tried the Creamy Brie with Onion Jam and sliced Organic Apples. Let's just say I could not stop eating it.



To Munch-The Roasted Chicken Salad-creamy rotisserie chicken salad, garden beets, tender bib lettuce. Bursting with flavors and won't leaving you feeling overfull.



To Sin-If you work hard, why not finish off with a little guilty pleasure such as the Founding Farmers Red Velvet Cake. No description necessary, you just have to try it!
