Future goals include becoming Xena, Warrior Princess or eating her weight in pulled pork tacos

With a limited amount of time for my lunch break from work, coupled with a desire to get out in the sun, I found myself wandering the heart of the Byward Market looking for something to eat. Tired of my usual ‘go-to’ spots, I braved the hordes of tourists and groups of schoolchildren wearing matching, fluorescent t-shirts and entered the covered portion of the Byward Market.
