"This Northern Chinese dim sum standby has been turning out pan-fried pork dumplings and springy dan-dan noodles on Rockville Pike for three decades; its Annandale sister location followed a few years later. Not many restaurants are this consistent-or such a good value. More must-orders: sesame biscuits and scallion pancakes; garlicky cucumbers; spicy noodle soups; Szechuan-style wontons; and Chinese fried chicken and rice (a winner for picky kids)."
"Crisp-bottomed, deck-oven pizzas are the thing at All-Purpose in Navy Yard and Shaw, which also sends out spiffed-up Italian-American favorites like arancini flecked with broccoli and sided with honey aïoli. Pies are made with long-fermented dough, which means you won't want to leave any of that savory crust behind. (Get a side of feta ranch with chili oil for dipping.)At weekend brunch, throw in Italian hash browns and bottomless spritzes, mimosas, and Bellinis."
"Chefs Christian Irabién and Gladys Guevara have a deep understanding of Mexican cuisine, so it pays to try the deep cuts they present at this all-day Dupont restaurant, such as machucos, fried stuffed plantains from Veracruz, or chile en nogada, a festive stuffed poblano chile with walnut sauce. Plus, Amparo's set lunch-inspired by the quick multi-course comida corrida of Mexico City-is a good way to break up a monotonous weekday."
