Now that the D.C. Burger Throwdown is but a greasy memory, there's just one thing left to do: EAT MORE BURGERS. Continuing with the goodness from Sunday's competition, five Throwdown chefs will be serving burger specials at their restaurants all week long and donating a portion of each sale to D.C.-based non-profit Deaf-REACH. Burger Days' Burger Week specials, available now through Sunday, include: • The People's Champ, Travis Weiss, will sling his award-winning Ramsay Bolton burger at The Commodore. The crowd favorite features Weiss’s proprietary Rebellion beef blend patty topped with Cabot white cheddar, spicy bread and butter pickles, bacon bits, smoked foie gras mayo, 1000 Island and shredded iceberg on a sesame seed brioche.

The same, only different. Alex McCoy will sling his Daffy Patty burger at Alfie's this week, but with beef instead of duck.

• Swapping out the duck for beef, Alfie's Alex McCoy will serve his Girl, Shake That Daffy Patty with a Creekstone Farms beef patty, bacon "XO" ketchup, Chinese mustard, smoked cheddar, coriander, scallion and pickled cucumber. Alfie's | 3301 Georgia Ave NW | DC | alfiesdc.com

It's no Thunderlips but John Critchley's Brine burger still deserves to be destroyed by your face.
