Five Guys, Chinatown, Washington, D.C.

Sunday evening Ryan and I met up with Robert for dinner in Chinatown. It's always challenging to find places to eat in D.C. with Ryan, since he doesn't like anything but American food.

We'd been told that Jackie Chan (the comedic martial arts movie star) had opened up a new restaurant in Chinatown, so we were going to check that out. It's in the location of the former China Doll, and it's not open yet. What's more, I don't think it's a Jackie Chan project; the name of the new place is "Jackey Cafe," which is both a different spelling of Jackie and also not the name Chan uses for his restaurant chain around the world, Jackie's Kitchen. So, maybe we'll hit Jackey Cafe on a different trip.

Weended up walking to Five Guys, where I had a cheeseburger and the other two guys had bacon cheeseburgers; Ryan and I split a regular fries and Robert had a large Cajun fries (he didn't eat all of them, though). Five Guys is always decent for that step-above-fast-food kind of burger place, and it's fun to sit around shelling and eating their roasted peanuts.
