Burgers, Burgers and More Burgers

Non July 4th Related Question: Hi Gurus -- Do you know when Top Chef Spike's new restaurant is opening?
New burger joints seem to be popping up on every corner these days: Z Burger and BGR are recent additions to the scene. Michael Landrum's Ray's Hell-Burger opened this Tuesday. But in today's chat, it was the burger shop run by Top Chef's fedora-clad Spike Mendelsohn that had this chatter jonesing for a thick juicy patty.
Spike's new venture, a two-floor restaurant on the Hill dubbed Good Stuff Eatery, will offer hand-cut fries, wedge salads, shakes and burgers with toppings like caramelized onions, applewood bacon and chili. Representatives from Good Stuff tell us that the restaurant is still slated for a July 7 opening. We're always wary of printing firm dates for new restaurants -- because so much can go wrong with permits and such -- but come Monday, you should be able to find burgers with a side of star power on Capitol Hill.
For more on Spike's new shop, check out this story from the June 29 Sunday Source.

Good Stuff Eatery is open and AWESOME! Great location, good service, and amazing burgers. But you shouldn't take my word for it. Try it yourself!

So? It's July 7. Do we have a new dining venue on the Hill? (Yes, I'm anxious.)
