It's a sad day for D.C.-area burger lovers.
Ray's Hell-Burger and its sister restaurant, Ray's Hell-Burger Too, are closing their doors forever, Washingtonian reported Wednesday.
The cult-followed burger joints, helmed by acclaimed chef Michael Landrum, announced their temporary closure due to a "landlord-tenant dispute" in January. At the time, Landrum described the episode as a "very minor blip."
But the real estate company responsible for the properties, located in Rosslyn's Colonial Village Shopping Center, confirmed that the two shuttered units are indeed now available for lease.
Ray's Hell-Burger rose to international prominence after President Barack Obama dined there twice; first with Vice President Joe Biden in 2009 and again with Russian president Dmitry Medvedev a year later. The simple menu, focused around one key item, is renowned for its unique twists on the classic American sandwich (foie gras burger, anyone?).
Patrons need not look too far for their fix, however. A third outpost, Ray's to the Third, remains open across the street.

dumbest lawyer on the planet says what?

Obama is the kiss of death.

It's not out of business.
The 3rd location is still open and the other two simply aren't open right now because the there was a landlord-tenant dispute.
If they re-open the locations will you admit that this is not a Obama thing?

the article is written in plain english yet you cannot fathom it, how is this about going out of business? I would imagine the landlord tried to raise the rent and they backed out of the lease.

Another Business Visited by Obama Closes

Last week, it was announced that Ray's Hell Burger just outside Washington, D.C. would be closing its doors. A fan of the burger joint was President Obama, who had visited the location with his Russian counterpart.
Well, it's happened again. In August, Obama visited Star Brewery in Dubuque. And now a local publication reports that the business is closing its doors.
THonline.com reports:
Star Restaurant and Ultra Lounge apparently has closed.
A sign posted on the front door of the Port of Dubuque restaurant, at 600 Star Brewery Drive, says the business is "permanently closed."
Owners Matt and Sarah Kluesner, who also own Crust Italian Kitchen & Bar in downtown Dubuque, did not return multiple calls seeking comment.
Star Restaurant was one of the anchor tenants in the Dubuque Star Brewery, which was renovated in recent years and became one of the major attractions in the redeveloped Port of Dubuque.
The brewery redevelopment project totaled $6.5 million and was led by Wayne Briggs and a group he headed up called Port of Dubuque LLC.

the world must be scary for you if you are superstitious like this. Thunder must still shock and awe you.
