Big Cheese

D.C.’s best new BBQ joint sells out every night. Once the meat is gone, the place is closed. Last Saturday night, no more meat remained at 7:30 p.m. They’re supposed to close at 10 p.m. It’s the best problem a restaurant can encounter. The demand is greater than the supply at Federalist Pig. Three months into a hopefully long run, order whatever you can.

Step into Federalist Pig in Adams Morgan and you will feel as if you’ve been granted access to someone’s private kitchen. The coziness gives way to some of the best barbecue in the city, and The Big Cheese is a crown jewel: melted cheese, crispy onions and barbecue sauce are lathered on top of your choice of chopped pork or brisket. Make sure to load up on sauces and sides (we love the smoked cheddar mac and cheese!).
