A tipster with an impeccable record hears that an All About Burger (formerly Z Burger before the split) will be coming to the former Li Ho Food spot that closed back in 2015. Stay tuned for confirmation and updates.

Hahaha this sign for Z Burger in front of the future home of Five Guys in Tenleytown cracked me up. The gloves are off, repeat the gloves are off:

A ray of light on this dreary Friday… From a press release:
“The Logan Circle Shack will be located at 1400 14th Street NW, smack dab in the heart of the District and steps from historic Logan Circle. The Logan Circle Shack will be a new spot for our DC friends to kick back and enjoy a ShackBurger® on its large outdoor patio, complete with picnic tables and greenery. Joining the DC, MD and VA Shacks, the Logan Circle Shack is set to open at 11AM on Thursday, March 16th. (more…)

Not In-N-Out Burger but it’s something…
From a press release:
“On Tuesday, March 14, CaliBurger will launch delivery of its California-style burgers to customers in the D.C. metro area. The delivery program launches from Union Kitchen in Ivy City (1369 New York Avenue NE) and is the first step in the brand’s plans to open multiple neighborhood storefronts around the region later this year. The menu is centered around the style of burger popular in Southern California for decades – thin fresh beef patties piled high with crisp vegetables on a grilled bun, served with fresh cut fries and handspun ice cream shakes.

At long last a replacement for Fire Lake Grill?
Five Guys seeking fast food special exception to open at 4200 Wisconsin Ave. NW in Tenleytown, in the Fire Lake Grill storefront.

Before Fire Lake, this was a Ruby Tuesdays. And for a hot second it looked like Guapo’s would be moving here. Updates if/as construction progresses.

Slowly, slowly.
Ed. Note: If you don’t like Shack Shake burgers and don’t understand the hype, please let me know in the comments.

Looks like the new Shake Shack coming to Logan Circle will have outdoor seating wrapping around both 14th and Rhode Island. The just posted liquor license application says:
“New Restaurant. Sidewalk Café with 81 seats. Total Occupancy Load of 138.”
and hours are listed as: “Sunday through Saturday 11 am –11 pm”
Updates as they get closer to opening.
