Buzz Beler is the man here, and The Prime Rib is another DC classic. And as Esquire Magazine so appropriately stated... "At the Prime Rib, it's always 1965". Maybe that's the reason for their long-term success, as 1965 was a super year, and the year they opened. There are two other outposts (Baltimore and Philadelphia) and they are both every bit as successful.
