Texan-style barbecue: brisket, ribs, sausage, mac & cheese
"Go rogue this year and opt for a barbecue instead. Choose from three slow-smoked feast packages (serving 4, 6, or 15) featuring combinations of turkey, brisket, sausages, and classic sides, with tasty add-ons like tomahawks, wine, and banana pudding platters. Get takeout at both locations (D.C. and Maryland) on November 27 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. for a stress-free celebration." - Vinciane Ngomsi
"Riverdale Park, Maryland is long home to drive-worthy brisket, courtesy of Fernando González and Debby Portillo. The couple behind wildly successful 2Fifty pay homage to Central Texas by using oak smoke to develop a dark bark on fatty hunks of prime and American wagyu beef that jiggle on the chopping block. Beef ribs, pulled pork, sliced turkey, and St. Louis-style ribs are all available, while daily specials like brisket tacos, lamb ribs, pastrami sandwiches, and barbecue pupusas give the kitchen a creative outlet, and González and Portillo excitingly nod to their Salvadoran heritage in sides like red kidney beans braised with brisket and coleslaw interspersed with raisins. Mondays recently joined the fold (still closed Tuesdays), with preorder for pickup; devour meats there or take the loot to go. To D.C. diners’ delight, 2Fifty expanded with a sit-down smokehouse in Mt. Vernon Triangle last year. Know before you go: Lines can get long, especially on weekends." - Tierney Plumb
"Oak smoke and fatty, wagyu-grade beef make the brisket stand out at this destination for Texas-style barbecue in Riverdale Park. Owners Fernando González and Debby Portillo are part of a large restaurant family in El Salvador. Their barbecue shop, and outgrowth of a farmers market stand, offers giant beef ribs, sausage links, turkey, and pork ribs, too. The barbecue outfit busted into D.C. last year with a standalone location on K Street NW." - Tierney Plumb
"2Fifty’s original Maryland location has achieved legendary status. Ask anyone in the DMV where to get solid Southern BBQ—or at least the closest thing you’ll find this far north—and they’ll point you there. Luckily for us, they’ve opened a new spot in Mt. Vernon Triangle. Their massive wagyu beef ribs (which fall apart if you so much as look at them), smoky-sweet citrus pineapple slices, and beefy baked beans are poem-worthy. It’s your classic BBQ setup—pick your meat, sides, and grab a seat—and whatever you do, don’t forget the banana pudding on your way out." - omnia saed, madeline weinfield, jonathan smith, mekita rivas, allison robicelli, omnia saed, kym backer, omnia saed

For a moment, you might even believe DC is part of the South... until you hit a traffic circle and remember, nope, still DC. photo credit: Nina Palazzolo photo credit: Nina Palazzolo photo credit: Nina Palazzolo photo credit: Nina Palazzolo Pause Unmute" - Omnia Saed
