The DC carryout three-piece: fried wings, beef fried rice and a small cup of mumbo sauce in a stacked styrofoam clamshell, the closing-time order at every neighbourhood spot.
The DC carryout (pronounced "carry-out" as one word) is the city's defining late-night plate-format: a styrofoam clamshell holding fried chicken wings, a generous mound of beef-and-egg fried rice, and a portion cup of mumbo sauce on top. The format spread from Chinese-American takeaway counters across the city, mainly in Black neighbourhoods east of the Anacostia and along Georgia Avenue, through the 1970s and 1980s. The carryout plate is engineered as a single $10-12 meal that holds heat, travels in a bag and absorbs alcohol; it appears in every go-go-era reference and dozens of DMV rap lyrics. The chicken should be deep-fried to order, the rice sticky, the mumbo sauce on top.
