BGR The Burger Joint’s eagerly awaited Dupont Circle outlet opens Monday. The counter-serve setting is done up in psychedelic rock ’n’ roll decor with distressed brick walls painted electric blue and arty inlaid tabletops displaying pop-culture brands. In addition to the expected specialty burgers, shakes and fries (Yukon gold and sweet potato), grilled asparagus is offered at this location, possibly to assuage the guilt of customers waylaid by tempting burger smells on their way to Sweetgreen, the salad bar next door (1514 Connecticut Ave., NW; 202-299-1071).
