(OK, you've asked for it ...) There is a small filipino enclave in the Fort Washington, MD area (primarily composed of retired military and their offspring) and THE place to go is Sam's. It's carryout only, located on Livingstone Road near the Oxon Hill fire station. There is no fixed menu, the "fare" changes daily according to the whim of the owners, and when every thing sells out (which almost always happens), they close up and go home regardless of the hour. Very popular to those looking for that back-home taste of real "filipino" home cooking. Don't expect to see P. Richman standing in line ... And yes, there was a more formal filipino rest. in that area, family owned and operated. Not a fave of the locals, it has since changed hands and is now some sort of nightclub, complete with a karioke (sp) machine. Meanwhile, Sam's carries the torch ...
