When you want a burger, you have to have a burger.

In this state of mind, President Obama and Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. took a short - but wholly noticeable - motorcade ride Tuesday from the White House to Arlington and pulled into a small, independent burger joint called Ray’s Hell Burger.

The two leaders went right up to the counter where the meat was being grilled and ordered cheeseburgers.



Each fetched cash from his pocket and paid, and then the pair stood like the rest and waited for their number to be called before going to a table.

The restaurant, which prides itself on premium 10-ounce burgers, sits in a small strip plaza. The burgers sell for $6.95.
