Capitol Corndog: When planning the city, Pierre L'Enfant described the gentle rise on which the Capitol sits, known then as Jenkins Hill, as "a pedestal waiting for a monument." The Capitol's structure was designed to be reminiscent of Rome's Pantheon. George Washington laid the cornerstone of the Capitol in 1793 and the building was first used in 1800 . . . steps away from the Capitol, Charlie Palmer's Steak House (101 Constitution Ave.) serves a wonderfully decadent Lobster Corndog with remoulade to the hungry Hill crowd.
