OT - I'm bored, Part 2!

[naslundfan19]

Never had one either....

But I bet most if not all the of people on here have never had 5 Guys, so I win

We're getting one in Spokane Valley soon. Good place?

 

[naslundfan19]

never heard of it.
google tells me there is (or was) on out in Surrey, but I've never been.

We didn't go, either. I just remember laughing when we saw it.

I've had both. I think In N Out is better but my friend from DC who lives out here believe 5 Guys is better. We chalked it up to nostalgia and hometown pride.

My favorite bar in my neighborhood makes these amazing burgers. They have a grinder in the kitchen so they grind bacon directly into the beef. Called the beef and bacon burger, amazing. It's on the outskirts of the City so it's not nearly as popular as it should be, but it's supposed to be featured on Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives this spring so it should blow up right after that. I'll be happy for the boys that they're doing well but really bummed that I have to share my whiskey bar and burgers with all the crowds.

Surprised that you've had 5 Guys, but not surprised you like the local better, most people do....

Damnit I'm so hungry now!

They are expanding that far? Damn! But yes it is quite a tasty place, their hotdogs are underrated if you ask me...

But I still go to the original place where they opened up...allways best there

You know what I wish they had in California?

Portillo's......

oooh my God, so good.

Not A big fan of fries but their fries are great closest thing to a real burger as far as fast food.like vee though I have A local Irish bar that Grinds their own meat plus they'll cook em rare which is how I prefer them.

 

[ritari330]

Okay, nevermind about 5 guys being so local. Quick search told me that there are over 750 stores in the US and Canada....Was only local from 86-2003, then they expanded across the county...

Kinda makes me sad

 

[KillerVee]

What, you don't think I could have gone to one in Virginia?! I've been to Virginia! I was just there in the summer.

A few miles from Disneyland is family Italian restaurant called Mama Coza's. It's been around for over 35 years. The locals just call it Coza's. It's great.

they are good, and they are big. lots of topping choices, too.
definitely worth trying out, but it's not something I get a craving for.

Damnit I'm so hungry now!

most east coasters I've spoken to do seem to prefer 5 Guys.
I like the cleanliness of the In n Out, if that makes any sense.
Everything down to the lettuce is just so fresh.

5Guys are expanding pretty aggressively out here lately, fwiw.

Portillo's......

oooh my God, so good.

What's portillos

 

[naslundfan19]

Thanks for the info guys and gal. Will have to try it out when it opens!

No, i was actually surprised you had visited Virginia/DC area, haha. Now I realize though you didn't have to

 

[naslundfan19]

We have a D'Lish's here. It's pretty similar to In-N-Out.

 

[KillerVee]

What's portillos

Portillo's is one of the greatest chains. They are mostly in Illinois I think. I used to go to Chicago like three or four times a year and our first stop after flying in was always, ALWAYS Portillo's.

Also, anyone ever been to or heard of Fuddrucker's?

Well, I did have 5 Guys in Northern California. But I've only been to Virginia once. I drove cross country from NYC to San Francisco this summer. We crashed for a night in Roanoke. Cute little town.

thanks for the tip. I think we are probably eating all of out meals while we are at the park at the overprices Disney offerings.
$28 for a Monte Cristo, were we come.


Another thing I look forward to in LA is Poquito Mas.
again, it's just so damned fresh. we can't get Mex like that up here.

My wife says she's found a Japanese place that's better than Matsuhisa (Nobu), but I'll believe it when i taste it.

alright now I'm getting hungry, too.
had Nando's Chicken tonight (yay for Groupon!), got a chicken breast and the fucking head was still attached.
there, now I'm not hungry anymore.

Okay, I mentioned Cheeburger Cheeburger earlier, that place is really good too. Their milkshakes are what make you want to come back though... Gotta get the pounder with a milkshake every time


I need to stop thinking about food soo much haha
