That Tenleytown location is expected to open tomorrow, July 6, according to a press release. A short Red Line trip will bring you to the Six Buck Chuck, the popular BTS house burger with lettuce, pickles, onion, tomato and AP sauce. AP sauce is their not-so-secret secret sauce - a blend of mayonnaise, mayo, ketchup, house-made barbecue sauce and chipotle sauce. That burger is made with 30-day aged, naturally raised Local Harvest beef chuck and brisket, and served on a buttered, toasted house-made bun.
Shakes are another high point, as the restaurant's name suggests. In addition to a variety of classic and modern flavor, adult milkshakes like Talladega Nights and Oreo Speedwagon add alcohol. A dozen craft beers on tap, wines by the glass and specialty cocktails will round out the upscale beverage menu.
With Chef Jeff Tunks' Passion Food Hospitality (which includes BTS in its portfolio) poised to open a new location of their Passion Fish concept on Bethesda Avenue later this summer, the countdown to adding one of the burger "kings" of Washington in Bethesda continues with resigned optimism.

ReplyDeleteWhat on Earth is this supposed to mean?
12:05: It's supposed to mean what it means in the English language. Perhaps a dictionary would be helpful.
DeleteIt's being hopeful but sadly knowing it won't likely happen.
DeletePlease note that the Tenley location is still under construction, and has a "Stop Work" order pasted in its window (as, at least, of yesterday). I don't they'll open real soon.
ReplyDelete3:28: Thanks for the update. I have heard mid-July non-officially as an opening date, but have not gotten a revised press release yet to confirm a change from the announced July 6 opening. Obviously, it doesn't sound like it's happening tomorrow from your report.
DeleteI say we send Dyer to China
ReplyDelete"Likely top"... So you're saying you just made that up based on your own opinion and have no fact based evidence. Lol. Likely top.
ReplyDeleteAll caterpillars feel thus during metamorphasis.
ReplyDeleteThen they find their wings.
That is the best looking burger I have ever seen.
What is that fried looking bit under the onions and above the pickles?
Delete@ 10:02 AM - I'm guessing that's the "AP sauce". Kind of brown and grainy, so it looks like fried batter, but that's probably from the chipotle.
ReplyDeleteThe AP sauce is the orange stuff, between burger and pickles.
ReplyDeleteThe "fried looking thing" is Texas Chili con Carne (No Beans).
Man I wanna try this burger now. Which place is it from?
