Thanks to a reader for the heads up – you can actually see table settings in place!! But the million dollar question is – who is it? The promised Ray’s Hell Burger Too?

Back in January we learned that Burger Tap & Shake would be coming to the former Neisha Thai Restaurant space (briefly EUR Asian) in Tenleytown. BTS now says:
“We are hoping to open by the end of the week!”
Check out their Tenleytown menu here.
This will be their second location, the first Burger Tap & Shake is located at 2200 Pennsylvania Ave, NW in Foggy Bottom.

Back in March we noted that Black and Orange would become Boss Burgers. Don’t know about the burgers but I like the outdoor seating they’ve added.
Anyone try a burger yet? Depending on how good your eyes are, you can peep the menu here:

To complement the liquid treasure, the Black Squirrel chef will prepare a stinky cheese burger to accompany the sour beers and a stout burger for the dark beers.
For more than 400 years, beer has been stored in barrels and aged to a bold, complex taste. Barrels are often made of oak, and many have been previously used for bourbon or wine to further enhance the layers of flavor. Enjoy this sampling of barrel-aged beer that spans a range of styles.”

Thanks to all who emailed and tweeted us word of the new restaurant signage.
Cosi abruptly closed back in October 2014. Eater DC reported that a Bareburger will be taking over the space. You can check out Bareburger’s menus here.
Interesting to note that this is right next door the to the former five guys burger spot that permanently closed in August. Also not far from where the smashburger closed in December.

Thanks to @OhBootsy for sending us the update. Back in February we first learned a Z Burger would be moving into the former Falafel spot on the west end of P Street in Dupont. Getting very close.

We’ve been waiting a long time to see what the heck is going on with the old cleaners at 14th and Colorado Ave, NW. Brightwood Bar and Restaurant out – Swampoodle in! Their Facebook page says:
“Hey #DC! We are working hard to bring you an exciting new restaurant to the area! Follow along as we bring you updates from the ground up. #new #localfood #comingsoon”
“We are eager for you to come join us at the bar for brunch! Delicious food and brunch cocktails await you.”
“On a bright and sunny DC day you and your family will love enjoying a meal on our outside patio!”
“Although it may not feel like it today, Spring is here and that means we are that much closer to opening our doors! We can’t wait for you to sit in our chairs and have a burger at Swampoodle DC!”
Nevermind that Swampoodle was an old neighborhood name nowhere near here (by Union Station today) – this sounds promising! Stay tuned.
