    We absolutely would have replaced the burger, thrown in a dessert and probbably a t shirt and I might have cut off the grill cooks hand in my rage. (I kid about the hand, not the rage) Sorry that happened. Track me or Nate down next time and the BGR's on me. Also for those curious McCain 862, Obama 834. Results a bit skewed for the Obama fans buying the Mccain, but not wanting the vote tallied. We had no way to seprate that out on the POS system. Anyway DC Central Kitchen got a $2,000 check and we had a blast with it. And for those anticipating this month, it's Thanksgiving on a Bun ( couldn't resist and THX MS for the suggestion) Turkey BGR, homemade cornbread stuffing, gravy and cranberry sauce . ITS HUGE AND MESSY BE WARNED (same price as normal turkey BGR). And Yes ALB, your Bgr is coming soon!!! Also the shake is Pumpkin Spice...

    With the recent closing of Davod Craig in bethesda, and seeing long standing restaurant icons of DC struggling, especially fine dining. Im suggesting an idea for the DR community. We all love restaurants ,We have our favorites and We all definately like to help.. see DC Central Kitchen volunteer list. Here's the concept: We book two nights a month for a DR night and specific restaurants, for instance DR DINNER at _____Thursday ______. We all come with our friends, coordinate with the restaurant, try some new things, give some feedbaclk.....We could set up a seperate RSVP page, maybe that would be better, we could dine indivivually or as a group? Im simply thinking of a way for us all to come together to help out our friends in the business. The power of a group is much more powerful then an individual. It's getting tougher out there, and lets make sure we give them reason to hang in there?

    You know you bring up a very intesting point, obvioulsy the Chicago dog is " bar none" the official street food of Chicago, obviouly the relish, etc is a regional flavor favorite, what is dc's official street food, and please dont say Half Smoke........

    Does anyone remember "the Commissary" in Philadelphia, next to the Frog restaurant. Was a Philly staple for years and years, I think it dissapeared in the early 80's.

    Hey pool boy. "always wanted to say that!" Ill give you the dog for free, and you can make your campaign contribution as you desire........ But you have to show up with zinc oxide on your nose.........

    ------------------------------- The hotdog on the Obama Burger at Burger Joint has an authentic Vienna Beef Dog from Chicago, (natural casing, a bit sweet and a "snap" when bitten into. Along with the traditional neon green relish, super peppers, tomatoes, pickles and celery salt.

    HI TG! Actually Obama is winning, although not by much I think at last count which was Saturday 233 to 212... We may keep the McCain around and simply call it The Southwestern after the election. I need ideas for the October BGR of the month ? Go for it!

    Stopped in for lunch today, with a chef buddy from out of town. Everything was superb, we shared a bunch of app's and totally forgot is was early(dreary) August in DC. Credit to the staff and the kitchen. BRAVO...

    Had a quick late lunch at the bar yesterday. Ordered half order of the shrimp and grits amd it was exactly as i remembered it. fresh, rich and well rounded. After 15 years I think Vidalia deserves to be a DC institution. Congrats to Jeff, RJ and crew for keeping it real, true and spot on... THX!

    So, he'll be at the Dupont Circle farmers market, and DC Central Kitchen . He's here until Monday. Word is a few late nights in Adams Morgan and G'Town. A little time in Penn Quarter.....So if his friend Andrew Zimmerman ( the guy that eats crazy stuff) were here where would he go and what would he have? All fun and games aside, it's nice to see DC starting to get on the culinary map, so to speak.

    Joe H, Thanks again for coming in and trying the "joint" out. Obviously food prefernce is one of indivualized taste, and for that i applaud your ability to know and stay true to what you personally like. Mass market burgers are a different deal, there's california types ( smal patty usually 3-4 oz's, simple white bread bun no seeds, and typically a sauce of some kind, burger is usually griddled. ( think in and out) On the other end of the country in New York, its a diferent ball game, smaller burger, 2-3 oz's, grilled, on toatsed potato with seeds, bun, with l-t-o, and no sauce ( think shake shack). Now, if we step into mass production, like say red robin, hardees, mc d's, roy rogers etc. you;re talking frozen beef. Not to say thats bad, as austin powers says " it's just not my bag", or as some reviewers have said "the quarter pound burger is one to measure all others against, I mean Mcdonalds sells about a kazillion of them daily" he too has a point. So taste is personal, I applaud you coming in, Thanks, and next time try the Ahi, greek or the Turkey, they will knock your socks off. When your in, there should be a few of my staff roaming the dining room to refill your 16 oz drink cup, I have them do that at lunch and dinner, ( somehow they missied you, sorry). I think both mr landrum and I agree on this one point, aged beef is one of life's true taste pleasures. This must be deep rooted in Human DNA, the buttery, nutty, tatse that "dry" aging impairs is unmatchable. It's also not for everyone,it's mucho expensive for us to buy it, and I guess that's why Outback is so successful.

    wise beyond years........ anyone else been to a cookout ---- burger, corn, baked beans (hmmm. maybe thats a hint for August's BGR of the month)......
  21. mbucher
    Hi guys we've been doing corn since June 20th, wouldn't say "copycat' would say," yum eastern shore corn nobody else has that". once that crop is done, we're done with it, until next summer.

    INDEED As promised "THE ROCKS" burger is up and running through July 31. Hickory smoked pork shoulder, sent to us daily by Stubb's Martin (5 star bbq champion), (My motto is if I cant do it better than a champion, use the champions stuff , we finish it here on the grill in whole form, then chop it and marry it with our bbq sauce. We then top it with a creamy cole slaw (we make here).... Also avail without the BGR as a sandwich or as a slider@@@

    Hey guys, Its mark, one should never trust what they read in the press, unless both parties are part of the story. This was cleary a slam job, no one from the gazette ever tried to contact me. We love what we do at the Burger Joint, all of our suppliers are thrilled and we are comittied to putting out great food one customer at a time.
  25. mbucher
    I agree, and frankly I dont get Magnolia bakery in NY? Im trying to recreate their bannanna pudding though.............
