Bolt Burgers Are Coming to
DC
The
nation’s capital area will soon be home to a brand new concept in the
all-American classic. Bolt Burgers is narrowing the search for a suitable high
traffic site for their first fast casual restaurant, where they will serve
burgers and fries that deliver unique, high impact flavors to satisfy
Washington’s sophisticated palates.
Bolt is the brainchild of a consortium of area eye doctors, led by
Michael Davidson, O.D., himself an experienced retail entrepreneur. The
consortium joined forces with Restaurant Consultants, Inc., led by Joe
Spinelli, a veteran with over 40 years in the Washington, DC restaurant
business. After conducting a thorough review of fast casual restaurant
concepts, the team realized the “better burger” market represented a great
opportunity. While the “better burger” restaurant category has been growing
rapidly, Americans’ appetite for better burgers is still spiraling upward. Challenging the status quo, they
chose to cross the “better
burger”
with another powerful food trend: high impact flavors.
Bolt
Burgers is where sophisticated burger lovers will be able to kick back and
enjoy flavors they can’t get at any other fast casual burger restaurant—big,
satisfying flavors beyond what you expect from a burger, fries and soft drink. No stranger to fast casual restaurant
concepts, the team realized the “better burger” market represented a great
opportunity. The
antithesis of quick serve burger joints, it’s an experience worth savoring, from
the hand formed patty of Bolt’s exclusive, extra juicy blend of Certified Angus
Beef, to the toasted brioche bun, to the layers of flavor piled in between,
including:
•
Spice Rubs, such as Toasted Peppercorn and Herb & Fiery Chili,
Cumin and Paprika
•
Artisanal Cheeses, such as Local Virginia Goat Cheese, Truffle Pecorino
and Smoked Gouda cheeses
•
Exclusive Sauces, such as Tomato and Sweet Basil, and Habanero,
Cilantro & Lime Mayo
•
Homemade Relishes, such as Black Bean, Corn and Vidalia Onion, and
Crunchy Asian Slaw
For
those who hunger for something other than beef, Bolt will also offer:
•
Turkey Burgers
•
Marinated Chicken Breasts
•
Vegetarian Black Bean Burgers
•
Gourmet Grilled Cheese sandwiches made with Bolt’s artisanal cheeses.
While
Bolt’s operations have been designed for maximum efficiency, utilizing the
latest food service technology, diners will feel right at home. It’s a friendly
place designed to please affluent diners who want more than a quick serve
burger joint, don’t want the hassle of a traditional sit down restaurant, and
have a taste for something more satisfying than just another bacon
cheeseburger. An open kitchen, beer and wine service and smoothie bar serving
original concoctions, like smoothie mimosas, encourage diners to sit a while
and enjoy more of what Bolt has to offer in its 2800 Square Foot units.
After
opening of the first store and operational success, Bolt plans to open 2-3
additional stores in similarly positioned demographic areas of Washington, DC.
