Prince George’s County contains a sprawling section of Maryland just east of the District. Roads leading into small cities and suburbs such as Hyattsville, College Park, Lanham, Bowie, and Upper Marlboro, are full of strip mall stops and small town restaurants catering to a population that includes a large African-American middle class and diverse Hispanic communities. From soul food to Vietnamese to Texas-style brisket, this takeout map offers a sampling of some of the newer options in the area.
