[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here--what I want is a small town NC restaurant with a buffet with bbq, fried chicken, fried fish, veggies, slaw and banana pudding. Surely there is something like that in DC![/quote]

Golden Corral is the closest thing. Quality isnt great though.

But if I were an exchange student, I would not want to go to your fancy pants Central or place like that. I'd want the authentic down home American experience.

Popeye's over Central.[/quote]

I LOVE Popeye's friend chicken.  Love.  Central's is great too, if in a more refined atmosphere.

But . . . are you seriously suggesting that a fast food joint with more than 1800 outposts nationwide represents an "authentic down home American experience?"  (No wonder the terrorists hate us.)  There are probably a bunch of places in the city that have great fried chicken - The Hitching Post was good, and Horace and Dickie's is too.  They're more urban than some NC country restaurant, which likely are in short supply around here.

But please - if you're looking to give her an American "experience," for the love of all that's holy, don't take her to a fast food place.  Let's try to improve her view of the US, not reconfirm the worst stereotypes.
