Food Factory (8145 Baltimore Ave., College Park; 301-345-8888). This Afghan kebab shop might look like the definition of fast food—bright fluorescent lights, a bus-your-own-table policy, plastic knives and forks—but it possesses the enduring values of slow food. The grilled meats—including bone-in chicken kebabs and minced and spiced beef kebabs ($7.99 each)—are cooked over an open charcoal flame and can take 20 minutes to reach the counter.
