Washingtonian‘s 100 Very Best Restaurants issue hits newsstands Thursday, January 23, but we gave a sneak peek to a special team: the chefs at Anju, which claimed the #1 spot on our ranked list. The modern Dupont Circle Korean restaurant from Chiko owners Danny LeeScott Drewno, and Drew Kim is our favorite place to eat right now.
