Order the shrimp and grits appetizer at Marvin, a mainstay of modern soul food on U Street, and you'll want to scrape the bowl clean. (At the very least, you won't want to share.) The creamy cheddar-cheese grits are studded with shrimp and pieces of smoky tasso ham for a dose of belly-warming goodness.

Where: 2007 14th Street NW; 202-797-7171
