MG Eats DC // DGS Delicatessen

After a full day at work I left feeling a little empty inside. I stepped outside only to realize it was about 30 degrees and freezing out, damn you Juno. I made a quick decision that there was only one thing that could turn this night around, a steaming hot bowl of matzo ball soup! But where to get said soup?

In my research of the DC food scene I'd found a place called DGS Delicatessen, an adorable Jewish spot off Dupont Circle. In San Francisco when I'm craving a good Reuben or a bowl of matzo ball soup I head to Wise Sons, I mean who doesn't? So in the name of steaming hot matzo ball soup and a little pick-me-up I made the executive decision to head on over to DGS Delicatessen and see just how good their "already world famous" matzo ball soup was.
