I'd been to Kinkhead's a few years ago, and did not think much of it. However, I always thought there had to be something wrong with me since it's supposed to be one of DC's best. This board confirms that my initial reaction was not necessarily wrong. Penang did not impress me too much. The interior is very nice, although some of the chairs are uneven in height. My date was considerably taller on the other side of the table. The appetizers were good and the main dishes were solid. The service was bad. However, I was not in a rush to go anywhere, and the less attention actually made the conversation flow better. I went to Kaz for lunch and was very disappointed. Perhaps the kitchen focuses more on the regular menu than the bento specials. However, if that is the case, they shouldn't offer any such thing. It was overpriced and not good at all. I will give the sushi another try though. The rolls at Uni (Dupont) were quite creative and tasty. A friend said the sushi was pretty good.

Thank you so much for the directions. I'll make sure we try out one of them. I've been to John's BBQ, and it was just OK. I'm sure there has to be better. We're playing at Legacy, Little River, Woodlake, Carolina, and Tobacco Road. It's a bit too much. However, I'm about done with grad school, and need to fit in as much leisure time as possible before the inevitable.

So, I enjoy an occasional gluttonous BBQ outing. I've been in DC for 2 years, and never really found anything. Old Glory in G-town is OK, I suppose. I was wondering if there are any other suggestions. Steve mentioned Rockland's BBQ, which I hope to visit soon. On a totally unrelated note, I just went to Georgia Brown's, and thought it was wonderful. The pork chops are divine. The appetizers were plentiful, but not too impressive as the entres and desserts.

Varmint - thanks for the suggestions. As a matter of fact, I will be driving down I-95. Do you by chance have the numbers or the county in which Stephenson's and Wilbers are located? I may be able to convince my friends to take a detour. Unfortunately, I'm the only who seems to be really interested in BBQ. Surprisingly, Pinehurst does not have much eating places. I thought it attracted alot of out-of-towners and at least some good eats would have emerged... oh well. If not BBQ, I would welcome any suggestions for any good ol' southern fried stuff as well. Has anybody heard of Eastwood Diner?

I'm making a trip to Pinehurst area, and need some suggestions for good BBQ. If no BBQ, then at least some good eats. I guess I'm willing to drive quite a bit (but no more than an hour) as long as it's worth it.

I'm new to this board, and got lots of good suggestions that I'm eager to try out. A personal favorite for Chinese food is Hope Kee right off the Clarendon stop. The egg plant pork hot pot (get it spicy), beef sate pan fried noodles, wontons, are all pretty good. Not the best Chinese food I ever had, but most satisfactory I've found in this area. I also like the dim sum at China Garden in Rossyln. Does anybody suggestions for some good BBQ in the DC area?
