National Cheeseburger Day: What Will Reston Diners Be Ordering?

RESTON, VA — Wednesday is National Cheeseburger Day and two D.C. area restaurant chains are offering special menus to help Reston residents celebrate.

Thompson Restaurants is offering an array of options at all of its Matchbox and Big Buns D#* Good Burgers locations throughout the DMV.

The Reston Station Matchbox at 1900 Reston Metro Plaza, Suite # 100, will be serving 3.6.9 Mini Burgers, featuring "tangy pickles, toasted brioche buns, melted cheese, and a generous topping of crispy onion straws."

As one might assume, the Big Buns D#*! Good Burgers at 1908 Reston Metro Plaza will have a selection of classic burgers for diners to order.

However, the suggested menu item for National Cheeseburger Day is the Melty Grilled Cheeseburger, which features "two juicy 3.5oz Angus beef patties, a trio of premium melted cheeses (Swiss, muenster & cheddar), and sweet caramelized onions, all sandwiched between slices of golden Pullman brioche bread."

The Capital Grille is celebrating National Cheeseburger Day by bringing back its Wagyu & Wine menu, which features its three signature cheeseburgers with a suggested wine pairing. Prices start at $35 ($40 in D.C.) in The Capital Grille lounge.

• The Capital Grille’s Wagyu Cheeseburger, layered with grilled onions, steak sauce and Vermont white cheddar cheese.
  • Suggested Pairing: Duckhorn Vineyards Napa Valley Merlot
• Wagyu Blue Cheese and Black Truffle Burger, topped with cabernet-braised red onions.
  • Suggested Pairing: Duckhorn Vineyards Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
• Wagyu Roasted Wild Mushroom and Swiss Burger, layered with roasted shiitake, Jarlsberg cheese and truffle aioli.
  • Suggested Pairing: Migration Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir

Each burger is served with a side of duck fat sea salt fries. For an additional $20, diners can substitute a caramelized onion and caviar dip served with house-made chips.

The Wagyu & Wine menu will be available through Nov. 1 at all of the restaurant chain's D.C.-area restaurants.
