Hmm..probably..
1. Fatboyz Pizza- OMG, their food is the best!! They are super cheap yet all their food comes out in huge portions and is really really good! Favorite meal there is probably their Steak, Bacon and Cheddar Sub, the bread is baked and crispy, it's a freaking orgasm!
2. Lorobi's Pizza- A very greasy-greasy pizza place, but omg, it's awesome. I know the owner so me and TKE209 get free food there all the time. What's not there to love?
My favorite chains are probably Logan's Roadhouse and Applebee's.

COOL! I had my wedding reception at Celebration - it was a small affair...40 of my nearest & dearest in the back room. That place holds a special place in my heart & I'm going to be there on August 2nd (to meet some old friends, and celebrate the end of the Bar exam hell that I'm in right now!!!).

My favorites from home are:
Zero's- best subs anywhere. they started in Va Beach and have become a local virginia chain with one store way out west and one up north. The nearest one to me is 40 minutes away in Fredericksburg
El Rodeo- best mexican I've ever had
Franco's- Italian...yumm!
Baker's Crust- excellent gourmet sandwiches, salads, and desserts. Their Crepe Jamaica is the best. Rum-soaked bananas with coconut, chocolate, and whipped cream in a yummy crepe.
As for the metro area:
The Orleans House near the Rosslyn metro station isn't half bad for steak and buffet-type stuff.
Bullfeathers in Old Towne Alexandria is fabulous, too.
Cosi is definitely on the top of my list, too.

Joe T. Garcia's - been here since the 30s. Famous throughout Texas.
I grew up on this food and I think it is the best Mexican food anywhere.

I forgot to mention Wild Wing Cantina in Chesapeake for the best wings around. They don't have 21 flavors of wings and 21 flavors of margaritas for nothing. If you're nuts enough to try the D.O.A.'s, make sure you can handle it... don't want your picture on the Wall of Shame.
