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.
