The Source is located in Washington, D. C. adjacent to the Newseum. A Wolfgang Puck restaurant, it’s theme is on Asian-influenced, new American cuisine. Of course Puck is always known for mixing food up, and here it was no exception.

The meal started with some Chinese-inspired beans in a spicy sauce with candied pecans. We ate these with chopsticks.

My appetizer of mini pork belly wontons were each delicious. They came with shavings of spring onion and delectable saucing.

The entrée was very saucy: short ribs served over dual purées with Indian spices. It was sweet and only mildly spicy. The texture and flavors were incredible.

My dining companion took to the halibut that came with both white and brown rices. While already a buttery fish, it came with a delectable sauce that was hinted with vanilla.

Chocolate dominated our dessert selections, but drama comes with the ordering of the chocolate soufflée. Chocolate sauce, ice cream, and whipped cream all get added to a perfectly-prepared chocolately, eggy creation. I love this dessert and this one pushed the envelope in the gluttony department.

The Source may just be your place for upscale, tasty dining while in D. C.
