DC Chain Trolls Junior With Free “Nothing Burgers”

The Washingtonian reports:



Good news for the cynics of the world. You’ve always said that nothing comes free. Well, this Tuesday at Z-Burger, that’s true. The Tenleytown location of the burger chain will offer free “nothing burgers” from 11 AM to 2 PM on July 18. The promotion was inspired by talk of Donald Trump, Jr.‘s email scandal and whether his possible collusion with Russia is or isn’t a “nothing burger,” as White House chief of staff Reince Priebus called it.

“For the longest time, every time someone gets a plain burger, we’ve been calling it a ‘nothing burger,’” Z-Burger founder Peter Tabibian says. “When I saw this news about the nothing burger I said, ‘This is kind of funny that we’ve been doing this, and now, all they’re talking about is nothing burgers.’” There’s no purchase necessary to get your hands on one of the free burgers. Just utter the not-so-secret password: nothing burger.
