A listener asks whether D.C. has any "iconic" foods -- since Maryland's got the blue crab and Virginia has ham. Dish City hosts Ruth Tam and Patrick Fort join Mikaela to deconstruct the idea that our city has no iconic foods. Then, the group shares some crabs and learns why the ham is so important to the state of Virginia.

You can learn more about D.C.'s foods on Dish City, available wherever you get your podcasts.
