[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would also focus on chefs more than cuisine. It might be nice to go to one of Jose Andres' restaurants, for example.[/quote]

THIS!

Also, breakfast at a diner or basic restaurant.

Oyamel is great for haut cuisine Mexican.

China Chilcano also would be quite different than what they could find there.

Perhaps not Jaleo or Zatinya as they are so close to Spain and Greece, but if they don't travel there than perhaps those.

A really good local coffee shop would be better here.[/quote]

[b]Much better coffee shops in London [/b]so don't go out of your way.  Of course they may want coffee anyway.  Good quality American cheese is fine but I wouldn't get too excited.

Definitely Mexican, Southern, BBQ, other Latin American and maybe Korean. Steakhouse or burger place good.  Pancake place. Not Thai, Chinese or Japanese unless they particularly want to.  Bagels better here.

What's funny about the coffee comments is that both of you are wrong. The best spots in DC and London are very comparable nowadays. Not at all the case 10-15 years ago, when London was on the leading edge of specialty coffee, and there were only a few good spots in DC. But since then really good places have become common in DC and every big US city. And I don't mean Starbucks or Peet's or Compass Coffee. Places like The Coffee Bar and Peregrine Espresso.[/quote]

Good to hear good coffee places very common in D.C. Unfortunately not in Bethesda yet. Another poster said they are actually better in D.C.  the thing is they can get great coffee in London so would suggest going to something different here. Love the idea of a crab place as you don’t find that in London.

Ceremony Coffee right at the Bethesda metro is very good.[/quote]
