Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
Over three decades, Ethiopian restaurants have become a fixture of the Washington food scene– serving up rich stews, spicy meats, and a broad range of vegetarian and vegan dishes. Our “Local Restaurant World Tour” continues as we travel from D.C.’s (unofficial) “Little Ethiopia” to the suburbs of Maryland and Virginia in search of the best doro wat and kitfo.
