THIS is what I covet

This is what my dreams are made of...


The Matchbox Meat Pizza: pepperoni / spicy italian sausage / crispy bacon / zesty tomato sauce / mozzarella


Smoky. Cheesey. Meaty. Spicy. Effin' amazing. Nearly perfect*.


But a meal at Matchbox can't start without the Angus beef sliders topped with onion straws.

Seriously, I dream about this.


Matchbox DC
Vintage Pizza Bistro
Two locations: Chinatown & Eastern Market/Capitol Hill

*I say nearly perfect, not perfect. The outer crust of the pizza was charred and crisp, exactly the way this type of pizza should be. The inner crust was a little weak and wasn't able to hold up to the amazing toppings. No worries, I still devoured the pizza. Perhaps it waited a minute to long to be served; but if they can ensure a crisp crust from the rim to the middle, we'd be talking pure perfection!

Murder Burger

The only thing I can call this is a Murder Burger. The consequences of consuming this beast is nothing short of deadly. Ground beef, a variety of seasonings, grilled on a skillet and covered with cheese, bacon and sauted onions (in bacon fat), then put on a buttered bun (Mmm, Butter Burgers from back home in WI). I love a good burger and I will do what I can to put a full one away. This, was just too much. I couldn't finish!!!! After dinner I had this heartbreaking feeling. I think my arteries were clogging and I could feel it. It will be awhile before I try this again. The fries...those aren't so bad. A little olive oil, salt, pepper and a few other seasonings of your choice! Oven roasted until crispy and golden. Just writing this made me feel 'heartbroken' again, I need to go lay down...

Oh, it was a whole wheat bun!!!! That's a bonus point!
