Z-Burger Bethesda hoping to open in 2 weeks

A spokesperson for Z-Burger said this morning in an email that the fast-casual burger chain hopes to open its Bethesda restaurant "in about two weeks," if all goes well. Construction continues inside the former BGR space at 4827 Fairmont Avenue, at the edge of Veterans Park in downtown Bethesda's Woodmont Triangle neighborhood. ZBurger is known for its made-to-order burgers, hot dogs, cheesesteaks, signature Z-Burger seasoning, and 75 varieties of milkshakes and concretes made with premium Wisconsin custard. 

Z-Burger's most famous fans are President Bill Clinton and Sasha Obama, both of whom have been photographed at Z-Burger while in Washington, D.C. Sasha Obama's favorite menu items remain a secret - though she appears to have ordered a shake or concrete to go with her meal. President Clinton favored a double burger without cheese, onion rings, french fries, and "a large apple pie milkshake," according to WUSA-9.
