On Friday, chef Spike Mendelsohn of DC's Good Stuff Eatery bested the burger competition at the New York City Food and Wine Festival.

His Prez Obama burger — applewood smoked bacon, crumbled blue cheese, red onion marmalade and horseradish mayonnaise on a potato roll — beat out Bobby Flay, Shake Shack, DuMont Burger and Minetta Tavern, among others during the Blue Moon Burger Bash hosted by Rachael Ray.

Mendelsohn was the only non-New York chef invited to the burger competition, and he says he was "so happy to represent DC.”

Meanwhile back in the nation's capital, the W Hotel held its grand opening party Thursday night. Metrocurean spotted award-winning Aquavit chef Marcus Samuelsson getting his groove on in POV, the hotel's rooftop bar.
