Boulud Wants to Create Burger with ‘DNA of D.C.’

The Post's Tim Carman has a
cool feature on Daniel Boulud today, in advance of the French chef's DBGB Kitchen and Bar coming to CityCenter later this September. The piece focuses mainly on a dinner he arranged with a flock of D.C. chefs as well as his upcoming plans for the District. However, the biggest pull of the article is this:
"
Boulud, the guy who practically invented the chef-driven hamburger with his DB Burger (stuffed with braised short ribs and foie gras), said he plans a special patty for the new place. “I want to create a burger for D.C.,” he said, “something with some DNA of D.C. So that’s coming up.”
Oh, hell yes.
Hear that Flay? Finally, somebody gets it.
For years, Mr. Celebri-Chef had a chance to be the first to come up with a distinctly D.C. burger, but sadly, the throw-downing TV star just couldn't find the time. But if Boulud's District burger is anything like his NYC one, it'll be worth the wait.
Sorry, Bobby– you snooze, you lose.

We've heard grumblings that the whole burger boom is over but, frankly, that's bullshit. Sure, a few spots around town have shut up shop in recent months and the rampaging river of new openings is now more a babbling brook, but D.C. is still the target for a bunch of…
