I was on a trip to Washington last summer.
There was a pretty decent restaurant in D.C. proper called "Metro Kosher."
I believe (forgive me - its been a while) it is at 23St. and Avenue M NW
a few blocks north of the Foggy Bottom Metro station.
I don't remember who gave the hashgacha but the teudah presented looked
authentic. The food was also pretty good.

I have heard that there is a restaurant in Rockville at Katz Kosher Super Market. I have never been there so I am not too sure. Larry

I tried going to Metro Kosher in Washington when I was there
for the Uniforum in January - they never answered the phone
so I assumed they weren't open. Someone told me later that
they don't really have fixed days/hours when the restaurant is open.

I am from the DC area. There is a supermarket Katz's. The one in the Rockville, MD area (suburb of DC) has a "cafe" section. Whether it is Kosher depends on who you believe. Katz (the owner) has had a running feud with the local va'ad (supervisory council). He refuses to pay for a mashgiach (on sight supervisor) and is open on shabbos. He gets his meat from a Kosher supplier (one with a heksher [approval]) and the butchers are all trained (eg. most have worked for the approved Kosher butcher in town) as Kosher butchers. In general, careful people will not eat there. Certainly none of my Orthodox friends will. If you are willing to take Katz's word for it, go ahead. I must admit that my family buys meat there. Whether to buy meat at Katz's or not has been an ongoing debate in DC for as long as I can remember (I moved there in 75). -- Ari Zymelman !decvax!comix!zymelman zymelman@yale ~?

Someone told me later that > they don't really have fixed days/hours when the restaurant is open. I also tried going to Metro Kosher in Washington when I was there on vacation about a month ago. I found out it's true they don't have "fixed days/hours." When I was there they opened officially at 4:00 every day. In case you can't get through to them, you can try calling a Rabbi Kalman Winter (in Silverspring), I believe he is the mashgiach there. -- ==> Ephrayim J.
