When DCist was in Georgetown this past weekend strangers on three occasions came up and asked where they could find the “new burger joint” or “Five Brothers.” What they were looking for was Five Guys, the Arlington-based burger chain that is in an aggressive expansion right now, pushing into North Carolina, Delaware and now the District. Five Guys’ spot in Chinatown opened earlier this year, and office workers downtown have been making lunchtime runs for their tasty burgers and fries. (A word of warning, their regular-size burgers have two patties, a small burger is regular size.)

The burgers and fries are similar to In-N-Out, but In-N-Out reins supreme in greasy goodness.

The Georgetown Five Guys recently took the place of Au Pied du Cochon, that shabby French cafe at the corner of Wisconsin Avenue and Dumbarton Street known for its rude waitstaff and fantastic Eggs Florentine at 3 a.m. DCist wonders whether the Five Guys crew is keeping Au Pied du Cochon’s famous bathroom like it was when Vasily Yurchenko escaped his CIA handler in 1985 by climbing out the bathroom window and walking to the Soviet Embassy to re-defect.
