Really, Good Stuff, Eatery

Planning to attend the Ward 8 DDOT DC Street Car meeting last night, the Kleiner and the Kleinette did as many tech connected (or addicted?) DCers do when going to a neighborhood they are unfamiliar with around dinner time, researched the restauarnts.  And to our dismay, but perhaps not surprise, could not find some sort of interesting hole in the wall or not hole in the wall to check out in Anacostia.  Looking at the map however, we noticed that the Good Stuff Eatery (303 Pennsylvania Ave SE) was easily on our way for a quick stop from our Freedom Plaza commencement point.

I had sampled the toasted marshmallow milkshake before at Good Stuff Eatery, and loved it.  I had also tried the Dulce De Leche milkshake too right when the joint first opened.  Good Stuff Eastery is a hamburger, fry and milkshake order at the counter type of place.  Established by Spike Mendelsohn of Top Chef fame (or infamy...), Good Stuff Eatery is one of those new gourmety hamburger places, in the vein of the ever delicious Ray's Hell Burger (famous because of Ray's the Steaks for locals, famous for everyone because of the President's visit).  Lots of interesting, sauteed, carmelized, deglazed vegetable and cheese toppings for oozing burgers.  There is even a veggie burger.  You have some choices for your fried side, herbed fries with sea salt, rosemary and pepper, classic fries or their take on fried onions.  They have at least four types of mayonaise including Old Bay (a nod to Marylanders), Chipotle, Mango(my favorite), and herb.  Last night we shared a plate of fries and a Milky Way milkshake.... very delicious!

Overall, a good quick stop in the Eastern Market area.  I still haven't tried a burger, so I can't really make a final comparison to Rays (or final review conclusion), but, from the crowd on a Monday night, it looks like people enjoy them :)
