At the corner of Florida and Georgia Avenues, HalfSmoke brings vibrant flavors and responsibly sourced ingredients to hungry District denizens. At this sleek and sustainably minded spot, restaurateur Andre McCain elevates the traditional fast-casual sausage joint. He begins by sourcing only fine, all-natural meats that can be traced back to the farm where they were raised. Whether choosing meats, vegetables or fruits, every ingredient is free from hormones, antibiotics, growth stimulators and pesticides. The result is organic, delicious dishes that are packed with both flavor and nutrients.
Hungry patrons can opt for delicious proteins like beer-poached beef bratwurst, smoky beef-pork sausages, lamb merguez or vegan falafel served on your choice of toasted bun, mixed greens, flatbread or wild rice. Tantalizing toppings range from chili and beer cheese to hummus and rosemary aioli, while indulgences like mac-and-cheese bites, funnel cakes and milkshakes complete the delicious indulgence.
