1. Ruthie's All-Day

4.7

Exceptional(3394)

$$$$Price: Moderate

• American • Arlington

Booked 152 times today

The menu follows a Southern-fried meat-and-three concept, meaning diners order a meat, plus three sides. Those will include Ruthie’s mac and cheese, of course, but also white-soy-braised greens, stewed chickpeas and smoked cauliflower with a spicy soy glaze. “We’re going to be changing it a lot based on seasonality,” Hill says of the menu. “ Every vegetable has got to be fantastic because it has to stand on its own.” One thing that will help that: Hill is already growing all of the restaurant’s own herbs at his South Arlington community garden plot.

I went to Founding Farmers in Alexandria to celebrate an achievement, and the visit was exceptional. Founding Farmers is where I go when I want something special, and the food has never disappointed me. I highly recommend the fried chicken and biscuit. Do yourself a favor and take home a donut and their cookbook.
