Business is booming at the The Grilled Oyster Co., which celebrated its two-year anniversary at Cabin John Shopping Center last month and is making plans for a second location in D.C. “We’ve stayed focused on being a regional food restaurant, not chasing every new fad and trend,” says owner Rick Dugan, noting that customers appreciate his dedication to sourcing local ingredients. “I regularly meet with the growers to talk about what they’re going to grow for us, and I go to the Eastern Shore to work with the crabmen and the oystermen,” he says. What’s popular on the restaurant’s menu right now? The Three Fish Grill, a $25 combo of seared tuna, grilled salmon and wild rockfish.
