"Branded hoodies, bottle openers, and even smoked beef tallow are for sale at acclaimed barbecue stop 2fifty Texas BBQ. But the most unique item might be the 2fifty’s collaboration with Victorinox knives, which home chefs can use for their own holiday feast. Choose between the $89.99 12-inch slicer knife with a wooden handle or the $39.99 six-inch boning knife with a flexible neon handle." - Adele Chapin
"This Christmas, skip the kitchen chaos and let the beloved Texas-style barbecue spot do the heavy lifting. Their holiday takeout combos – available for 4, 6, or 12 guests – are packed with smoky, tender meats that will make your festive table the talk of the season. Think perfectly smoked beef brisket, fall-off-the-bone pork ribs, and the ultimate showstopper: a tomahawk that’s almost too beautiful to eat." - Vinciane Ngomsi
"Recommended for 'extraordinary brisket with an awe-inspiring backstory' in Riverdale Park, Maryland, presented as a noteworthy suburban BBQ destination." - Eater Staff
"Named among the Best Chef: Mid-Atlantic semifinalists, representing one of several Eater 38 spots called out on the list of regional contenders." - Tierney Plumb
"For D.C. residents, sampling the most tantalizing brisket inside the Beltway requires a drive into Riverdale Park, Maryland. Fernando González and Debby Portillo, the couple that own and operate 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 (think brisket tacos 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. Diners can preorder for pickup Wednesday through Sunday with the option to dine there or take it to go. 2Fifty expanded with a sit-down smokehouse in Mt. Vernon Triangle this year." - Tierney Plumb, Emily Venezky
