Among the most notable Washington, D.C.-born foods is the
half-smoke, a half-beef, half-pork sausage placed in a
hotdog-style bun and topped with onion, chili, and cheese. The city is also the birthplace of
mumbo sauce, a
condiment similar to
barbecue sauce but sweeter in flavor, often used on meat and
french fries. Washington, D.C. is known for popularizing the
jumbo slice pizza, a large
New York-style pizza with roots in the
Adams Morgan neighborhood.
