I was visiting some friends going to school in DC for two weeks. They drug me all over town showing me dives and great places to eat, those were the lunch joints that stuck out as either really freaking good or great bang for the buck. DC has some really good food, the melting pot culture kicks ass.
I know it from Atlanta, but I believe there is a Fogo de Chau in DC. It's not really lunch, but it's by far the best chiaroscuro I've been to. The meat is to die for, and although it is expensive, if you go hungry you very easily get your money's worth. Fxxx I love that place.
There's a Fogo de Chao in Baltimore. I'm sure there's one in DC as well. The best Brazilian rodizio I've been to was the Midwest Grille in Somerville, right outside of Boston. Quality was awesome, and it was like 25 bucks instead of 75-125.
Fogo uses top quality products. That is the difference between them and the other Brazilian rodizios. Their salad bar is stellar..
it is great, but i'd only go for lunch....it's half the price and they have the same s*** as they do at dinner.

Update:
Ate at Ben's Chili Bowl yesterday. My verdict is two thumbs WAY down. Very expensive, mediocre quality, and the half smokes were nothing special. I mean, it's probably worth going to say that you've been, but the food was really weak. And $6 for a chili dog? Tigger please.

Why would you waste room with salad at Fogo's ? I try and fast for at least a day before going
Might want to try searching the travel channel....of course they recommended Bens and it looked good on the show I watched.

Whatever, rib boiler.
Yep, hopefully you didn't have to wait in the normal line out the door. Have you tried any of the food trucks trolling downtown? I know they are fond of the area around L'enfant Plaza. I hear the "lobster truck" puts out a good lobster or shrimp roll if you have the time to wait in the line.
If you make it up to Baltimore you can try the other regional delicacies we have to offer.
