🟩 FROM BINNY
Happy Tuesday, neighbor.
Hope you had a great Fourth. Now that the fireworks are done, Binny's got a smash burger spot that will change your life, a box shame moment straight out of every freshman's nightmares, and yet another reason to never trust cardboard.
🔥 BINNY’S HOT TAKE
It's July, which means somewhere in Loudoun a rising freshman just realized move-in day is in 2-3 weeks and they own zero of the things they need to pack. Binny would like to state, for the record, that panic-buying trash bags at Target the night before is not a packing strategy. It's a cry for help.
🟩 LOCAL SPOTLIGHT
This week Binny recommends
🟩 Jon's Joint — Sterling
I've already been back more than once. The Jon's Classic and the Juicy Lucy are both 10/10, and the OKC Burger is next on my list. I'm usually a single patty person but this place might turn me into a double patty person. That's how good it is.
Fries are perfectly crispy, and they've got malt vinegar and Old Bay on the side to spice them up. (#IYKYK) And don't skip the vanilla milkshake… creamy, classic, and pairs perfectly with a burger this good.
🟩 BINNY’S BOX SHAME
This week's cardboard crime
A soon-to-be college freshman tried to pack an entire dorm room into Amazon boxes she'd been "saving" since Christmas. Three collapsed in the car. One had a suspicious mystery stain. Her mini fridge box gave out in the elevator in front of her whole new floor. Day one. That's the story now. Forever.
Dorm move-in is chaotic enough without your boxes betraying you in front of strangers you'll see every day for the next nine months. Bins don't do that.
