I loved this shot from the market at 9th and U St, NW. One day before I die, I will purchase both a bean pie and an item from the Bling King. Mark my words…

There is a bean pie shortage in DC…and thats a shame.

  … so now I’m curious. What exactly is a bean pie? Is it made with black beans? Green beans? Or is the filling a sweet red bean paste like you see in Asian pastries? Is it a hand pie, or something you serve in slices? Will Dangerously Delicious pick up on this and start selling them for $28 apiece?
briefly

Hardly, bean pies are sold by the Nation of Islam folks, who are all over the city. Note, they generally hate whitey.

PoP, do you, as a Jew, REALLY want to support the Nation of Islam cult???

I want to see a photo of PoP sporting his new Bling King purchases.

I always try to talk those bean pie salesmen down from their asking price…

What you really need to get from that market are the tamales and tacos right behind the bling king. Really good and really cheap! Very nice ladies running the stand as well.
