Washingtonian's 100 Very Best Restaurants issue is on newsstands now, and it sounds like it's going to spark some conversation. Though they've only put the Top 20 rankings online, there are already some notable observations:
· The Inn at Little Washington did not make the top 20.
· All three restaurants from Fabio Trabocchi, including the casual Casa Luca, made the top 20.
· Komi, as it often has been, is ranked #1.
· A relatively unknown pizza place in Annapolis, Vin 909 Winecafe, is #10, and Fulton-based Indian restaurant Ananda is #16.
· Several well-loved restaurants, including Blue Duck Tavern, 1789 and The Source, were cut from the list entirely, according to Washingtonian's blurb.
