Mixt Greens' F Street location has closed.

Happy Wednesday.

I chatted with Birch & Barley’s chef Kyle Bailey recently, and during our conversation the Pennsylvania native said one of the first things he noticed about D.C. when he moved down here was how much of a pizza and burger city the District is.

Bailey’s belief certainly has validation: The area’s numerous burger joints and last week’s stream of news about several forthcoming pizzerias does indeed make our city seem a bit obsessed with pizza pies and patties.

Well, the obsession continues today. Elevation Burger’s Hyattsville location is slated to open this spring at 5501 Baltimore Ave. The Arlington-based chain is known for burgers made with organic, grass-fed beef that's freshly ground in-house. The company also has locations in Falls Church, Arlington, National Harbor, and Potomac.

The Hyattsville store will be among several new operations opening their doors in EYA’s East Village development, including Busboys and Poets, Tara Thai, and Yogi Castle. (h/t Patch, WCP)

No more greens for downtown

Mixt Greens’ downtown location, at 1311 F St. NW, has closed. According to PoP, a “long running dispute with the landlord” caused the fast-casual, organic salad eatery to shut its doors. The salad shop recently replaced  catering company Organic to Go. It seems like a cursed spot for organic eateries. Maybe a pizza or a burger joint would fare better there?
