Chew on This: Where's the Best Burger?
By
Kate Nerenberg
Published Tuesday, June 02, 2009
It didn’t take long for Barack and Michelle Obama to catch on to one of Washington’s latest food crazes: burgers. Since moving into the neighborhood, they’ve wasted no time in trying some of our homegrown options: Five Guys (both Barack and Michelle ate there); Good Stuff Eatery, where Michelle took her staff; and the venerable Ray’s Hell-Burger, where Barack and Joe Biden treated the press pool to lunch.
In March, EatBar was crowned the best burger in Washington in our NCAA-like burger brackets. Should the Arlington bar/lounge be the next stop for the Obamas? If not, where should they go? Let us know in the comments!

I’ve been going to Station Grill in Union Station for ten years for their burgers. They’re great.

Please stop with how bad meat is. Lets stop the vegan and PETA terrorist speeches. If it isn’t made with enough fat somewhere between 15 and 20% you get tasteless dry hockey puck. And Sorry a vegan burger will never be a burger.
You do know ranchers and farmers are feeding their livestock and poultry special dietary supplements that increase the production of methane gas just to upset greens and vegans.
No lets all pass some gas and enjoy burger made with grass fed prime organic beef cooked outside on a Weber kettle. You do know the green commies want to ban outdoor grilling along with eating meat.

For a burger: Elevation Burger for organic hamburgers. But meat, even organic, presents a health risk. So, ...
Best: Sunflower Cafe (Vienna, Falls Church) or Vegetable Garden (south Rockville) for top rated vegetarian -- tasty, health promoting and generally better for the earth and its occupants -- so the best by far for setting an example.

Gone are the robust bureaus for the Los Angeles Times, Newhouse News, and other once-healthy news organizations. Digital media bureaus now are taking their places with as many reporters and plenty of swagger.
