Earlier today we reported that Maman Joon would be taking over the space that was previously home to Taco Bar and Jerry’s Subs & Pizza at 181000 Georgia Avenue in Olney. Since then we have learned (by additional signage installed at the restaurant) that Maman Noon’s sister restaurant, Z-Burger will also be operating in the space.
Z-Burger is a local, DMV-based chain that describes itself as “a Washington DC landmark! Home to the area’s most delicious handcrafted burgers with endless toppings, fresh cut fries and 75 varieties of hand spun milk shakes and concretes made with premium Wisconsin custard.”
Z-Burger has multiple locations in DC, a few in Northern Virginia, and three in Maryland– with more to come. Its first location opened in Tenleytown in 2008. Earlier this year, its first Montgomery County location was announced. Prior to starting Z-Burger in 2008, founder Peter Tabibian was the general manager at a Jerry’s Subs & Pizza in Maryland. He is also behind Maman Joon, the Persian restaurant that will be joining Z-Burger in the Olney space. An opening timeframe for Z-Burger/Maman Joon is not yet available.
