The region's best barbecue spot has opened a new outpost in Mount Vernon Triangle . Owners Fernando González and Debby Portillo González are serving the same Texas-style barbecue with influences from their native El Salvador-now with more than double the seating. The meats, including standout American wagyu brisket and pork spare ribs, are still smoked at 2Fifty's Riverdale Park commissary smokehouse, but the owners hope to eventually bring smokers on-site.
Following the debut of its daytime cafe last year, this modern Filipino hotspot has finally opened its more upscale dining room and bar. Chef Paolo Dungca's resume spans from fine-dining Restaurant Eve (where he was chef de cuisine) to pioneering Filipino restaurants like Bad Saint and Pogiboy. Here, he's elevating his native cuisine yet again with dishes like foie gras-and-shrimp dumplings and cassava cake with smoked trout roe and crab fat. In addition to an a la carte menu, a seven-course tasting is available.
