🍔 New food truck alert in Reston. S&P Burger is rolling into the VY Apartments off of Sunrise Valley Road (last minute change and will no longer be at The Spectrum at Reston Town Center) for a soft launch this Saturday, November 8, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. 📅📍

Here is why folks are lining up. This halal spot press-seals each patty and toppings inside a crispy brioche bun, creating that signature UFO shape that locks in every drip of flavor. Expect four core choices: Classic double with American cheese, Deluxe with grilled jalapeños and onions, Tripple for the big appetites, and Dealer’s Choice where you can add jalapeños, onions, or beef bacon. 

Save room for dessert too. Their pressed brioche sweets come loaded with Nutella, Biscoff, or Cookies & Cream and get finished with vanilla ice cream, plus optional strawberry or banana. 🍨

S&P Burger launched in August and already has a devoted following. If you miss Saturday, catch them at the MASDC Fall Festival in Alexandria on November 15. Full scoop first spotted in Northern Virginia Magazine by Michele Kettner. ✨🚚
