Obama’s Business Kiss-of-Death Affects Ray’s Hellburger

Ray’s Hellburger is an awesome restaurant in Rosslyn. I bring my out-of-town friends there for lunch and the greasy burgers are definitely worth the wait. I heard about the place from Food Network, and then Obama started going there, taking his idiot Vice President with him. Now the business is shutting down, possibly due to a dispute with the landlord, but this is just one more in a very long line of doomed businesses that tie back to a visit by Obama.

From HumanEvents here:

Ray’s Hell-Burger is closing its doors in Washington DC. The burger joint rose to prominence after Obama visited the business twice. Now they’re closed.

It’s a sad day for D.C.-area burger lovers.

Ray’s Hell-Burger and its sister restaurant, Ray’s Hell-Burger Too, are closing their doors forever, Washingtonian reported Wednesday.

The cult-followed burger joints, helmed by acclaimed chef Michael Landrum, announced their temporary closure due to a “landlord-tenant dispute” in January. But the real estate company responsible for the properties, located in Rosslyn’s Colonial Village Shopping Center, confirmed that the two shuttered units are indeed now available for lease.

Ray’s Hell-Burger rose to international prominence after President Barack Obama dined there twice; first with Vice President Joe Biden in 2009 and again with Russian president Dmitry Medvedev a year later.

Now Obama took away my favorite cheeseburger too. Bastard.
