Best Burger in DC?

After heading out to the country for some delish rib eye last weekend, we ended up back in DC. But even all that steak couldn't sate our taste for beef. That's when Five Guys came to the rescue.

Yes, yes, the operation has gone into franchise mode recently. But it all got started in Arlington, VA. The thing that keeps Five Guys legit is the focus on just doing a few things right: You'll find burgers, fries and little else on the menu.

We went for the cheeseburger, which is actually two beef patties smothered with American cheese. The "fried onion" topping turned out to be little bits of sauteed onion--totally not worth it. A huge bag of fries and a root beer later, we were in a massive burger-induced food coma. In other words: It may be a chain, but damn it's still good.
