Okay you guys. The best burger is at Ray's Hellburger in Arlington, VA.
This is where Obama and Biden went for lunch a few months ago.
Michael Landrum is the proprietor (Washingtonian Restauranteur of the Year 2007), and he started the burger joint as an offshoot of his steakhouse. He buys his Prime beef from the same place the Peter Luger establishment does, and he ages it himself. Hellburger has a special blend of Prime aged cuts that are ground fresh multiple times per day onsite.
A 10oz burger is the only thing you can order. It tastes otherworldly, and you wonder what other burgers are made from due to the ridiculous difference.

Monday: Big Mike's
Tuesday: Tommy's
Wednesday: King Taco
