Greetings, fellow gastronomes. It looks like another (legendary?) Arlington County food purveyor, Whitey's Restaurant, has bitten the dust. From what I could observe from my automobile, the structure looks gutted on the inside perhaps for renovation by the new owners. Don't know if they will continue to use the old name or menu. No guarantees that "broasted" chicken will continue to be offered according to a 4/21/04 article in the food section of the Wash Post. Whitey's advertised "Where broasting is an art and beer a way of life" for many years. At least Bob and Edith's appears to be doing well since they opened a second location (just up the road from the Columbia Pike original) not too long ago. Mario's Pizza House seems to also be holding its own. Do you think Whitey's new owners will keep the neon "EAT" sign in place? Sincerely, John Wood (Code 5550) e-mail: wood@itd.nrl.navy.mil Naval Research Laboratory 4555 Overlook Avenue, SW Washington, DC 20375-5337
