That government ID card might be useless around the Capitol during the shutdown, but plenty of local businesses are rolling out the red carpet to furloughees in need of gastrotherapy. We’re adding to this list all the time, so please keep coming back, and don’t forget to check in with Roll Call After Dark for some of the other specials around town revolving around the arts and sights.

Good This Week

Granville Moore’s/1238 H St. NE

$3 “under pressure” barbecue pork belly bites on special Tuesday. $1 Stella Artois for as long as owner Teddy Folkman can swing them.

“We have 10 cases of Stella coming in today. So ’till we run out’ . . . kinda like the budget,” Folkman told HOH.

Mockingbird Hill/1843 Seventh St. NW

One free glass of sherry poured for badge-flashers from now until Thursday.

Tortilla Coast/400 First St. SE

Wednesday and Thursday, happy hour drinks in the bar.

And while it’s not actually contingent on the government implosion, the flagship Tortilla Coast couldn’t have picked a better time to resurrect its month-long “Texas State Fair” promotion.

The Capitol Hill mainstay is celebrating all things Lone Star State from now until Oct. 20, serving up a number of dishes of downhome-style nosh that should help dull the pain of being relegated to the political sidelines for a while.

A frosty Shiner Bock Black always takes the edge off. Mini corn dogs allow you to eat your feelings, one sweet cornmeal-wrapped nibble at a time. Traditional Fritos pie makes it easy to knock off essential Tex-Mex food groups — chili, queso and corn chips (like tortillas, ‘cept different) — all in one sitting.

And what pity party is complete without a deep-fried, honey drizzled snack cake?

No ID needed to partake in Tortilla Coast’s specialty fare. And $1 of every specialty entree gets donated to the Capital Area Food Bank — because charities often have to pick up where the government leaves off.
