The President's visit to Shake Shack earlier today convinced Eater it's time to update our guide to the Obama family's burger eating in D.C. Obama is not exactly known for variety when it comes to his restaurant meal orders — if there's a burger on the menu, chances are he'll order it.

This map focuses on burgers ordered by the President himself, but the First Lady has also consumed burgers at such D.C. locations as Good Stuff Eatery and Red Robin (she even beat Barack Obama to Shake Shack). Know of another Obama burger stop? Let us know in the comments.
