Washington D.C. Top 25 Restaurants: November 2015
/This has certainly been a big year for D.C. dining, a culinary breeding ground for fast casual and fine-dine restaurants alike. D.C. has become a melting pot that welcomes well-known, high-end chefs in the same way it welcomes young, entrepreneurial-minded culinary creatives.
This month, using November data from Foodable Labs’ Restaurant Social Media Index, we welcome six first-timers to the ranking, all of which make the Top 10. Jack Rose Dining Saloon, last month’s No. 1 star, tumbles to No. 8, along with a handful of other restaurants.
Which restaurants fell off the list completely this month and which are thriving?
