Who doesn’t love foot-long Washington, D.C. style sausages with all sorts of absurd garnishes that come from the city of Chicago?

Probably not a lot of people who like healthy eating. But if you love to clog your arteries behold the glory of the “District Duel” … the signature item of this year’s Winter Classic at Nationals Park (s/t The Washington Post for the menu reminder)

This is how The Post describes such 'deliciousness':

“… a foot-long half smoke topped with Chicago-style slow-roasted Italian beef, creole mustard, banana peppers and giardiniera, combining the flavors of both the home team Washington Capitals and the visiting Chicago Blackhawks.”

Never mind, that actually sounds gross. But it will at least go down smooth, and probably come out horribly.

It’ll also be available at the Verizon Center following the Winter Classic.

Here are the other menu items per the Post:

District Duel (available at Taste of the Major’s stands at sections 115 and 314, and at Anacostia Station at section 217)

·  Signature soups (available at sections 236 and 315)

·  Maryland Crab Soup

·  Chicken and Dumplings

·  White Bean and Kale Soup

·  Burrito cart (available in section 140)

·  Ben’s Chili Bowl (available in sections 110, 141 and 301)

·  Local craft beer (available in sections 119, 138, 223 and 310)

·  Including Atlas 1500 and DC Brau Public Pale Ale

Sign me up for the Maryland Crab Soup! That actually sounds really good, especially if it’s going to be chilly outside.

For health nuts/hipsters, how about that that White Bean and Kale Soup?

Of course, if soup isn’t the way you want to stay warm, there’s always that local craft beer to keep you nice and toasty.
