Barbecue
•
Last year, Fernando González and Debby Portillo González opened a DC outpost of their Texas-style barbecue joint and expanded their Prince George’s County smokehouse. What hasn’t changed: Their oak-smoked barbecue is still the best around. Buttery slabs of American Wagyu brisket remain unmatched, as do peppery pork ribs and thick poblano-studded sausages. Sides deserve their own spotlight, whether mustardy potato salad or beans with brisket and fried onions.
