TD Burger Opens in NoMa on Monday – Check out the Menu and a Look Inside

Chef Timothy Dean

Back in April we learned that a TD Burger from Chef Timothy Dean of Top Chef fame would be opening up a new spot in the former Zuppa Fresca space in the Loree Grand at the corner of 3rd and K St, NE. They open up on Monday at 4pm and I was able to step inside for a quick look and chat with the chef.

I have to admit I don’t watch Top Chef (I don’t have cable), so I promise I wasn’t starstruck, but Chef Dean is a very very cool dude. Super nice and super enthusiastic about the space. Also he’s originally from DC – the Kenilworth neighborhood near the aquatic gardens. Anyway, a bit about the space – There’s seating for 68 inside and 60 outside. In addition to burgers there will be, pizza, wings, salads and sandwiches. The service will be fast and quality. You order by the door and then get a number to place at your table and a runner will bring your food. However, there will be a full bar so a cocktail server will come by if you want to order a drink:

A full bar including 6 beers on tap and 60-65 craft beers in bottles and cans

They open Monday at 4pm but after 10 days or so they will also open for lunch. And while delivery could be available in the future – carryout will also be available right away.

Lots of patio seating for up to 60:

250 K Street, NE

Hours of operation:

M-TH 11 am – 10 pm; bar & late-night menu 10 pm – midnight
F-Sa 11 am – 11 pm; bar & late-night menu 11 pm – 1 am
Sun 11 am – 10 pm

Oh yeah, one more thing – plans are for a bistro concept from Dean coming “to this side of town” in the near future too!

More photos and a look at the full menu after the jump.
