Good morning, Washington. Ten years ago today, the unfathomable happened. Iconic towers crumbled to dust, and the structure of a great military institution suffered partial collapse. Nearly 3,000 people died in merciless terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon on September 11, 2001. If not for the remarkable bravery of 40 heroes, it’s presumed many more would have perished in Washington. more ›

J. Wellington Wimpy would be proud: word is that Z-Burger will be handing out free hamburgers to customers on days after the Dow Jones Industrial Average loses 500 points or more. more ›

St. Patrick's Day doesn't offer much for teetotalers, aside from lots of drunk people and corned beef and cabbage. But today from 3-6 p.m., Z-Burger in Tenleytown will be offering their mint chocolate milkshakes for 99 cents. more ›

Tomorrow is National Cheeseburger Day. But Z-Burger is celebrating today by selling cheeseburgers with all the fixings for $1 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m at their Tenleytown location (4321 Wisconsin Avenue NW). Just say to the cashier, "Cheeseburger, Freeburger" even though...yeah...it's not technically free. more ›

In celebration of President Barack Obama's 48th birthday today, the Z Burger location in Tenleytown will be giving out tokens to the first 48 people in line (they opened at 10:30 a.m.) redeemable for 48 free burgers and 48 milkshakes over the next year. But if you can't (or didn't) make it be one of the first 48, they will also just straight up be giving away free burgers and pieces of a 1,000 square foot birthday cake from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. We hope some of those token receivers have a lot of friends who like burgers, or Z Burger should really throw in a free gym membership. more ›

No Dish of the Week this week, but enjoy your regularly scheduled Small Bites. more ›

Z Burger, located in Tenleytown and Glover Park, is offering free burgers all day today on Thursday, April 2. Just mention the code word "yowza" to get a burger topped up the way you like. Cough up some dough for the Five Guys-like peanut oil fries or the yummy onion rings. But you may want to skip their custom shakes - the majority of which use the same flavored syrups you find at Starbucks. CORRECTION: Our sincere apologies, the free burger day is actually on Thursday, April 2, at the Tenleytown location ONLY. We inadvertently mixed up the dates. Again, we apologize for any confusion. more ›

With weather having taken a turn toward the frosty, we might be done with ice creampocalypses for a while. But not to worry, Z Burger in Tenleytown is picking up the free-food-as-marketing-tool slack with a free burger event today. Via NBC4, show up at the store's Wisconsin Avenue location with a coupon that can be found in City Paper and get one of Z Burger's classics for no more than the effort it took you to get there. Maybe pair it with some of their signature peanut oil-fried fries, or a milkshake. If you can't get your hands on that coupon, rumor has it you can partake of the offer by just uttering the "secret" code word. Hint: the word is Foxxy Cleopatra's mantra from Austin Powers III, and rhymes with the title of Shaq's silver screen debut. more ›
