73 Farm, National Union Building, 918 F St., Washington DC 20004

Would you care for vegan dishes inspired by the flavors of New Orleans cuisine? Take a visit to 73 Farm and try their vegan jambalaya. It is served with vegan sausage made from andouille pea protein and fluffy, red sauce rice. Though, someone out there might have a sweet tooth that goads them into trying something else during their visit. You might like their pralines made with oat milk cream, caramelized sugar, and pecans! In any case, make sure to try their beignets. They’re light and fluffy and will surely leave you satisfied. Look out for this hidden gem in Washington, D.C.!
