Review: Five Guys Burgers.


Now, don't get me wrong here, I do enjoy a good burger. But I do not necessarily ever feel it necessary to order a "restaurant" burger. (After all, why would anyone pay 10+ dollars to buy something they can easily make at home...especially when there are so many other delicious things on the menu.) So my "burgers I will pay money for" list really only includes fast food. (Which is sort of gross.)

But move over, Steak'n'Shake and Wendy's, because I have discovered Five Guys.

As a concept, Five Guys Burgers and Fries is pretty simple. You can order, burgers or fries or burgers and fries.

For two people to eat cheeseburgers (with all the fixings you could ever imagine), fries (we split a regular sized order) and drinks, it cost about 15 dollars. And it was worth it.

So here's a picture of my delicious delicious burger:
Texture-wise, this burger was perfectly balanced. The burger was juicy, the bun was fluffy and soft and the vegetables gave it a beautiful crunch.

Get on this.

New Obsession: Next Iron Chef.


That's right, friends. My life away from blogging has given me the time necessary to fall in love with the Food Network Show Next Iron Chef. For complete recaps, you can check out one of my favorite websites FoodNetworkHumor.

But I'd like to take this moment to declare myself on Team Ming Tsai.

Seriously.

How I got my life back.

It, my friends, has been a long couple of months. (Unexpected illnesses with bonus caregiver duties will do that to you.) Dropping out of school for close to a month will fuck your shit up too. But I'm back, I'm finally caught up and I'm hoping to finally get this show on the road. Let's do some updating, shall we:

-All of my family members are alive, although it will most certainly be a long road to recovery.
-College football season (the best season, as far as I'm concerned) is well under way. This should provide some interesting fodder for posts.
-Bought all the stuff to do the 30 Day Shred. I haven't started shredding yet, but I will, I promise!
-Learned how to make the perfect omelette.
-Joined LinkedIn and started searching for a job.
-Was rejected from Teach for America.

Onwards we go, friends!
