OT: Best Northern Virginia Restaurant and Dish

I love finding little secret spots to chow down at both at home and on the road. To get a little cold weather talk going, here are my favorite restaurants and dishes (right now) around Arlington/Alexandria/Falls Church

1) RT's Restaurant- Mount Vernon Avenue in Del Ray-Alexandria- The best crawfish etouffee I have ever had, including multiple visits to New Orleans.

2) Rus Uz- Fairfax Street, Ballston-Arlington, Try the Plov. Seriously, try the Plov.

3) Astor Mediterranean- North Pershing Street, Arlington VA. - You can't beat the lamb kababob

4) Bahn Mi DC- intersection of Arlington Blvd and Graham, Falls Church VA- $20 for 4 Banh Mi Thit Nuong (Grilled Pork) sandwiches. Baguette, sweet pork, pickled radish and carrots, jalapenos, and a little mayo. The best cheap sandwich you can buy.

5) Red Hook Lobster Truck- various locations. Lobster rolls from a food truck? Yep. Get the Connecticut style.

Runner Ups-
Buttermilk Chicken Sandwich at Dogwood Tavern, Falls Church
Chicken Tenders, Sweetwater Tavern, Falls Church
Maxi Deal, Meat in a Box, Falls Church
Butter Chicken, Haandi's, Falls Church

I can imagine no more rewarding a career. And any man who may be asked in this century what he did to make his life worthwhile, I think can respond with a good deal of pride and satisfaction:
“I served in the United States Navy"
