an update on our inaugural post (rogue states)

Dear Fellow Burger Enthusiasts,

Some of you may remember the inaugural post, when El Presidente generously allowed a guest burger club member to post a review of Dupont Circle's Rogue States. You may also recall that the review was less than favorable. I am happy to announce that, due to neighbor complaints about the "noxious odors" wafting from this eatery, Rogue States has now been shuttered by court order.

"A D.C. Superior Court judge ruled the popular Dupont Circle eatery Rogue States a nuisance on Tuesday and ordered it to stop grilling hamburgers after an eight-month dispute with a neighboring law firm over its “intense and noxious odor.”.
Over three days of testimony, [Judge John M.] Mott said he had heard “ample evidence” to conclude that the restaurant at 1300 Connecticut Ave. NW is to blame for the itchy and watery eyes, nausea and headaches suffered by employees of Steptoe & Johnson."

I generally take a Tea Party-style "keep your gu'mint hands off my burgers" approach, and am a little concerned about this activist Judge, John Mott, legislating our burger choices from the bench. That said, Rogue States did suck, so I think we can permit a little judicial latitude...

Hope all are well. Happy dining, john
