DC/Virginia Burger Joint Named One Of The Best In The Country

WASHINGTON, DC —America has a long-running love affair with hamburgers, and a Washington, D.C., area burger joint was named to Thrillist's list of the 31 best burger joints in America.

The burger that Thrillist decided is one of the best in the country is "The Mack," served at Ray's Hell Burger, located in Northwest Washington, DC.

Here's what Thrillist says of the burger:

"It's been a bit of an odyssey for the DC-area burger institution, which has undergone a series of legal and landlord disputes, that have left the location in DC proper (the others were in Virginia) as the only outpost to secure the burger that President Obama occasionally deployed for diplomacy. But you don't need to worry about that. All you need to worry about is the fact that those famous burgers -- hand-trimmed and ground in-house thanks to all the beef know-how that comes from being siblings with Ray's The Steaks -- remains a worthy DC institution. Whether you're looking to do it simply like the classically inclined The Mack or go for more elaborate toppings like bone marrow or cognac and sherry sautéed mushrooms, you're in able burger hands."
