Move over McDonald's and Burger King, Bolt Burgers has hit the Washington, DC at 1010 Massachusetts Ave NW, with a er, big 21st Century bolt. The burger concept is the brainchild of a consortium of area eye doctors, led by Michael J. Davidson and including Ender A. Adam, and George F. Brown joined forces with a team from Restaurant Consultants, Inc., led by Joe Spinelli, a veteran with over 40 years in the Washington, DC restaurant business and a collaboration with award-winning Restaurateur/Chef Troy Clayton to develop Bolt's proprietary spice and relish blends (available for sale) and Bolt's signature menu items.

Bolt executives gathered together to challenge the status quo of a traditional burger, they chose to cross the "better burger" with another powerful food trend: high impact flavors and easy odering via kiosks, online and the build-your-own concept! And for those that love technology and lack the need for social interaction, you will love the touch screen technology of ordering right from your table or throughout the restaurant.Try flavors like:

Spice Rubs, such as Toasted Peppercorn and Herb and a spicy/sweet blend of Fiery Chili, Cumin and Paprika
Artisanal Cheeses, such as Local Virginia Goat Cheese, Truffle Pecorino and Smoked Gouda cheese
Exclusive Sauces, such as Tomato with Sweet Basil, and Habanero, Cilantro & Lime Mayo
Homemade Relishes, such as Black Bean, Corn and Vidalia Onion, and Crunchy Asian Slaw

Protein Alternatives are:

Turkey Burgers
Marinated Chicken Breasts
Vegetarian Black Bean Burgers
Gourmet Grilled Cheese sandwiches made with artisanal cheeses.

And, albeit small and modest, they also offer wine and beer. No laels mentioned, but this is a burger joint.

There are also an Island Smoothie Bar, alads and grilled cheese options.

Expansion plans call for a second location in Arlington, Virginia. (Photos courtesy www.Foursquare.com)
