January 2008 Best and Worst for DC Restaurant Week
I took the list from an old, quite good discussion on DC Restaurant week:

My additions at the end of the list were from a DC Foodies discussion, in which someone had come up with a list of various restaurants extending their Restaurant week price specials:

I'd be glad to adjust the above list in any way that the consensus develops, including adding restaurants or changing their rankings. Personally, I can't claim to have eaten at all of these restaurants; in fact, I was looking at these forums to get ideas about which restaurant to try. Mostly, I'd like to know peoples' opinions on the rest of the restaurants that have extended their specials, because many of the top restaurants are already booked solid for this week.
