No, that is not a typo
Shake Shack is giving out free burgers next Tuesday. In honor of the chain’s 100th location, all local locations (save Nats Park) will open at 10:30 a.m. and give out free burgers to the first 100 guests. Knowing D.C.’s love of free food and willingness to wait in line, better get there pretty early to secure a sandwich.
Expansions

Never mind
Those new owners for neighborhood bar and restaurant Caddie’s? Not happening. The restaurant has reopened under the same ownership after the deal fell through. [BM]
