The talk among Washington's foodies the last few months has been about the fries ... the duck fat fries, that is, at Blue Duck Tavern in the Park Hyatt Hotel. BDT is DC's hottest new restaurant of 2006, even though Chef Brian McBride has been a city favorite for nearly two decades. With a new restaurant and lots of cool, high-tech cooking toys to play with, McBride is turning out some of the capital's tastiest food.
