Magnificent fast casual news for Columbia Heights. Z Burger is coming back to Columbia Heights!! But that’s not all, they will share the old Ledo pizza space with the absolutely awesome Maman Joon. When you enter Z Burger will be to the right and Mama Joon to the left (sorta like a mini food hall or if anyone remembers the KFC/Taco Bell mashups.)

Stay tuned for an opening date which should be in around 6 weeks or so. (more…)
