> Your roadmap to the Washington food scene

Proceeds to include a restaurant from Annapolis and one from Centreville.

Edit: And indeed Front Royal with IALW

Beltway or bust for these lists tbh, if you can't get there by Metro/Metrobus then it shouldn't be on it.

The Inn at Little Washington is south of Front Royal, and is perennially included on these lists.

It’s only included because it’s 3*, if it was a BG or anything like that it’d be a VA restaurant and Washingtonian wouldn’t be claiming it as DC.

So we just need to convince Michelin to take away its stars. I’m on it.

Didn’t say that, but it’s strictly speaking not a DC restaurant. It’s not even a DMV restaurant, along with a bunch on that list.

I mean where do we stop? Delaware? West Virginia? Do we start claiming restaurants in downtown Manhattan?

You misunderstand me. I agree with you, and am sarcastically suggesting we campaign to get the stars pulled, so that it’s no longer on the DC lists.

Who else is claiming it? Richmond? Baltimore?

No? Then I don’t have an issue with it on the DC list.

The Shenandoah region would be the easy answer here.

Oh yes. All those magazines making lists of the Top 100 Shenandoah Region restaurants. Would hate to step on their turf.

I didn't realize that geographical designations also included "does a magazine feature them in a dining feature." I'll be sure to keep that in mind for your future pedantry.

I think it claims it’s a Washington restaurant, which is technically true

There’s no non- DC restaurants in the MG—not even non-DC but still within the beltway.

Yeah, it reminds me that DCist article that came out about places you could explore using the new Silver Line extension, and nearly every single one said "and then take a 10 minute Uber." Kinda missing the point there.

Totally disagree. I will drive anywhere within 75 minutes for a great meal.
