Drive to DC for Game

On our drive to DC we stopped by another teammate's house for lunch. Her mom had lunch catered by Olive Garden, clearly not local, but we were not given any other options.

After our game in DC and the end of our rugby trip as a team, I decided to stay the night with my friend Adria in DC since my flight to Charlotte, NC left early the next morning. When making plans to stay there, I told her about the Read Food challenge that I was trying to complete. Because she knew ahead of time, she did some research to find out which restaurants in DC served local foods. While there was a plethora of restuarants that served organic foods, what she found is that the local food selection in DC is quite limited. There are several farmer's markets, but their hours are limited to the weekends.

Adria managed to find one small cafe, Bread and Brew, that served sandwiches, quiches, soups, and a few entrees made with organic and local ingredients. While only a 10-15 minute drive by car, the cafe was inaccessible by the Metro, which was suprising given the reach of the DC Metro system. Fortunately for us, Adria had a car and so we made the commute. She ordered soup and a sandwich and I ordered a spinach and cheese quiche. Yum!
