My lunch plans were all set. I was to go to the Heritage Foundation for a lunch briefing from 11:30am-1:00pm about, “Southeast Asia's Forgotten Tier: Burma, Cambodia and Laos” I arrived at Heritage, drenched in sweat and panting heavily. I asked the man at the front desk where the event would be and he so graciously told me that IT HAD BEEN CANCELED AND RESCHEDLED FOR THE 26TH!

No fear, I thought, I’m Super Sonal. I can do this. So I went to Union Station to re-connect with my trusty friend Gautaum. I ended up sampling from every single vendor… I had my fair share of delicious teriyaki chicken and tiny tuna melt sandwiches and even managed to score a free apple from the nice Ethiopian ladies working the Paradise Smoothies joint… Even though this seemed satisfying for the lunch portion of today’s free food-a-thon, it actually left me feeling as though I needed to do more.

The day picked up when I got a phone call from a friend (I won’t mention any names) telling me about the free hotdogs and Italian ice on 14th and K. I picked up my bag (and camera) and was off to devour some yummy hotdogs and cool off with some icy goodness.

I arrive to find that the hot dogs were not your standard everyday baseball game hotdogs. They were in fact gourmet hotdogs with delicious poppy seed buns. It was all for the promotion of the Crowne Plaza Hotel and Resort on 14th and K, which is now my most favorite hotel in all of D.C.

The nice man asked, “What flavor Italian ice would you like? We have lemon, orange and raspberry.” I said, “I would love an orange one, please!”

Later, I inhaled my tasty hot dog and then began to enjoy my scrumptious orange flavored Italian ice.
