Five Route 1 Restaurants Recognized at 40th Annual Rammy Awards

Several restaurants on the Route 1 corridor were highlighted at the 40th annual Rammy Awards Sunday.

Hosted by the Restaurant Association Metropolitan Washington at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center in D.C., the black-tie event featured restaurants on the corridor as both nominees and winners.

Nominees had to be members of the RAMW, and winners in the seven of the categories were decided by members of the public.

Two restaurants on the corridor won their categories: Brentwood’s Little Miner Taco, which recently moved into its own location, won the award for Favorite Fast Bites, while Riverdale Park’s 2Fifty Texas BBQ won Standout Family Meal Packages To Go.

Two others were nominated: Mount Rainier’s Pennyroyal Station was nominated for Favorite Gathering Place of the Year while College Park’s Tacos A La Madre was nominated for Outstanding Pop-Up Concept.

Hyattsville mainstay Franklins also received an Honorary Milestone Rammy Award for 30 years in business.

The number of restaurants on the Route 1 corridor at the awards ceremony was a sign of how far the local dining scene has come in just a few years.
