Four gripes about the food scene in DC

Seriously, empanadas should be like a dollar each.
I've only been here for six short months, but I made a few observations about the D.C. food scene:
1. There's no Asian bakeries: I was under the assumption that every major city had at least one Korean or Japanese bakery, but there's none to be found in the District of Columbia and that bums me out. I have to rely on my mom to FedEx me loaves of Japanese raisin bread or Korean scallion buns from L.A.
2. The street vendor food sucks: I have counted exactly two non-hot dog vendors in the entirety of the D.C, area. One is a gyro stand on Vermont St., and the other is a burrito stand on K St. And they're both absolutely disgusting.
3. The Asian food markets are wayyy outside of D.C.: Want to buy kim chee? Too bad, you'll need a car to drive all the way outside of the city for it.
4. The "hole-in-the-wall" places are rip offs: Seriously, $3.50 for a freaking empanada at Julia's? I thought there was an understanding here that "hole-in-the-wall" means cheap. I guess D.C. is exempted.
