Washington Post food critic Tom Sietsema’s Fall 2010 Dining Guide hit the intertubes today, and on the list were a number of surprises: from food truck Red Hook Lobster Truck (whoa, a food truck) to BGR: The Burger Joint (whoa, where’s Ray’s?) to The Columbia Room (whoa, a cocktail joint).

This year, one of last year’s four-star restaurants, CityZen, has dropped off the list. Taking its place is Citronelle by Michel Richard, which was bumped up to four stars from three-and-a-half in 2009. There are, as every year, a number of other head-scratchers on the list that we will continue to dissect and puzzle over.
