This is cool. I just rec'd an email from a customer -- Planet Ping Pong in Washington DC, and they been getting some great press -- including "best pizzeria in DC" from a local food writer.
Has anyone been there yet? It is a very modern restaurant, but the food sounds great; definitely not traditional. Can anyone get there?
Here's the email (another James is the owner),

The super smart Metrocurean publishes that:
Comet Ping Pong has won a National Design Award for:
"Best Design for a Casual Restaurant" by Hospitality Design Magazine, the industry's foremost publication on contemporary design related to restaurants and hotels.
At the same time.....
Weta's Food Critic, Don Rockwell comments on the design of Comet Ping Pong:
"Comet Ping Pong should be a destination for anyone who cares about contemporary art. The restaurant itself is a work of art - it could be an exhibit in the Tate Modern ? a tongue-in-cheek masterwork, so full of playful references that you forget how brilliantly executed it is."
and MOST DELICIOUSLY.......Don Rockwell on Comet PIZZA:
"I?m going out on a limb and calling Comet Ping Pong as the best pizza in the Washington DC area. It is one of the most important restaurants in town ? enjoy it while you still can."
Sure glad somebody likes it.
Yours, James
