Thank goodness we decided to give up tofu for Lent because if we had chosen any one of the more appropriate items – red meat, cheese, chocolate, GLUTTONY – we'd be shit out of luck today.

"This is the best damn burger I've ever had," says Travis Weiss while staring at Rebellion's new creation, the 1836 Burger.

This Wednesday, after 15 months of new, weekly burger specials, Mad Fox executive chef Travis Weiss will present his last "Epic Burger," wrapping up his tenure at the Falls Church and Glover Park restaurants.

One of these years, we’re going to go all out and red carpet the shit out of our Burgers of the Year awards but until then, a blog post will have to do.

Because some of us just can't wait until tomorrow, Mad Fox brings Thanksgiving to the plate a day early with their Epic Burger today. In a month of bird burgers, this one just might top them all.

Nothing says happy birthday America like corn-battered meat and two local joints are hooking up the deep fried goodness as part of their Independence Day celebrations.

When an opportunity arises to tick multiple entries off our burger to-do list – and all in the span of one day – we're all over it like grease on a griddle.

As we reach the end up a meat-tastic month filled burgers on burgers on burgers, we take some time to reflect back on our Seven Burgers in Seven Days celebration for National Hamburger Week.

National Hamburger Week has come and gone and so has any chance of fitting into our Speedos this summer.

This "big dirty uncle of the banh mi" wraps the flavors of a Vietnamese sandwich with Weiss' signature beef blend and then tosses them all in the fryer.

In just two days time, National Hamburger Week begins and this year we're bringing you a full seven days' worth of spectacular burgers from the D.C. area's very best joints.

Come on, just look at this lineup: B Side, Burger Tap & Shake, DCity Smokehouse, Holy Cow, Mad Fox, The Pig and Right Proper. That's some serious burger slinging.

We began our roll out of National Hamburger Week participants this week with the introduction of two heavy hitters into the mix

Our first-ever burger collaboration is here as Burger Days and Mad Fox Brewing Company have teamed up to present a chicken and waffle-burger mashup, the Cluck Moo, for Falls Church Restaurant Week.

Each week we think Mad Fox's Travis Weiss has peaked with his creations for Epic Burger Wednesday and each week he lays down a monstrous masterpiece that trumps the week before. Today is no different.

Bust out the napkins and hide Santa Claus, Mad Fox's Epic Burger Wednesday special brings the City of Brotherly Love to your face with The Liberty Bell burger.

Take a look at this goddamn thing. Just look at it. This is what cardiologist nightmares are made of.

As if we needed yet another reason to pack on some extra poundage before Thanksgiving.

Today, in honor of the Nationals' foray into the 2014 MLB playoffs, new Mad Fox chef Travis Weiss has created the Bryce Harpurger topped with peanut butter, grape aioli jelly and bacon jam.

"Epic burgers, my way, will be back," new Mad Fox chef Travis Weiss tells Burger Days. "As well as the original bacon jam, which was my recipe." Oh, hell yes.

National Burger Week came and went –as did any hopes of fitting into our Speedos by Memorial Day– after we downed seven burgers in seven days during our annual celebration of the beef.

We were all excited to get our Epic Burger* on at Mad Fox on Wednesday but our plans were abruptly thwarted when our server informed us that there was no Epic Burger available last night. Shit.

Braving the elements might just be worth it to grab one of the limited-time burgers from Mad Fox or Holy Cow this week.

This sloppy beast is the star of today's Epic Burger Wednesday at Mad Fox Brewing Company and it's a whole hell of a lot of meat.

With the sun and rain battling for supremacy in the sky, 10 of D.C.'s top chefs battled in the courtyard of Poste Moderne Brasserie Sunday, hoping to walk away victorious from Brainfood's first-ever D.C. Burger Battle. After all was said and eaten, The Source's Scott Drewno won both the Judges' and Chefs' vote with host Dennis Marron of Poste taking home the People's Choice award.

Last week we did our annual burger-a-day thing and observed the shit outta National Hamburger Week.

Every Wednesday is Epic Burger Day at Mad Fox Brewing Company in Falls Church. So guess where we spent hump day of National Burger Week?

Three hours of all you can eat burgers, all you can drink boozers AND it's just a Metro ride away? It may not be South Beach, but with 10 of D.C.'s top chefs going head-to-head in a burger battle right in our own back yard next month, we think this will be even better.

Another year gone by and, once again, the Crew has left a path of greasy destruction in its wake.

Those looking to get into the Halloween spirit and throw a burger or two down the hatch are in luck. Today, Mad Fox Brewing Company is hooking up not one, but three special burgers for "Epic Burger Wednesday."

Any questions?

Oh, that's just a double-pattied, double cheese, double bacon burger with a BBQ brisket stuffed beer battered onion ring in the middle and horseradish BBQ mayo. You know, no big deal.

This week, Falls Church's Mad Fox Brew Pub is throwing out some of the most extreme and massive combinations of beef and bun we've ever seen. And that's saying a lot.

Sometimes even we need a break from the never-ending carousel of beef that makes up our Burger Days.

It's no secret we love the bacon jam. Our obsession dates back to March of last year when we took on a healthy dollop of the stuff with one of Mad Fox's burger specials and each and every time since we've tangled with the sweet, bacony goodness, we've been left wanting more.

Traditionally, our weekends consist of equal amounts of eating and drinking and sleeping. Super Bowl weekend, however, skews the ratio in favor of booze and grub, so we're elated these area joints are pulling out the stops for the game and hooking up specials to satisfy our hunger.

As we inched closer to the New Year, we checked the numbers and realized we had yet to hit our burger quota for 2011. So naturally, a year-end burger splurge was in order.
