This months Conde Nast Traveler's reader survey of the top 50 US restaurants include two popular DC-area establishments. They are The Inn at Little Washington (#5) and L'Auberge Chez Francois (#37). Also noted in our area as favorites based solely on food quality (and not service or ambience) were Obelisk (Dupont Circle) and Patisserie Cafe Didier. Jean-Louis, Taberna del Alabardero and The Prime Rib were also regional mentions. David Geller (back after a 10-year internet/usenet absence!)
