Best Burger & Comics in DC


Wednesday, April 4, 2007

five%20guys%20burgers%20washington%20dc.jpgWhen you've had enough of M street, or God help you, the Tombs, tuck into the "best burger in DC, six years running", at Five Guys on Wisconsin Ave NW. The bomb-proof red-and-white tiled store is designed to take a rush, and for good reason -- expect it to be slammed, but never in the weeds. Eat peanuts while you wait, and have your fixings "all the way." So basic it's almost comical, the menu consists of standard-serving double patties and generous portions of fresh-cut fries -- Boardwalk or Cajun flavor -- and that's about it. And speaking of comics, after you wash your hands, turn the corner and pick up from Pete at Big Planet Comics, the most top-notch shop in town.
