Want a Burger? Try Rogue States!

There's a new burger joint in Washington DC around Dupont Circle...and IMHO (in my humble opinion) it puts Five Guys to shame. I'm not a burger connoisseur, but I was really impressed by Rogue States.
They have an amazing menu of "gourmet" selections, including:

The Rogue State, a house spice blend, chipotle, cilantro
Now & Zen, made with soy sauce, green onion, ginger, toasted sesame seeds
Curried Away, a house curry blend, onion, cilantro, hot chilies
Ciao Down, garlic, tomatoes, basil
No Burger, No Cry, house jerk blend, red onion, habanero peppers (apparently this burger is not for sissies!)
Pardon My French +3, black truffle oil, thyme (it was suggested to add brie and you'll be saying oulala!)
Square One, simply served with sea salt, fresh black pepper

All burgers are 1/4 pound and cost 7$. Additional toppings are available for a charge, and they have sweet potato fries!!! Talk about the best thing I ever ate! The Rogue State was delicious. Now I'll have to work my way down the menu.


Oh, one other thing....the owner, Raynold Mendizabal, keeps the restaurant open into the wee late hours of the morning, catering to a hungry-for-a-snack late crowd. For a change, there's food on a Friday night after a night out on the town!
