Well, another weekend, another place to go eat. There’s a burger chain that started out in Washington D.C. called 5 Guys Burgers and Fries. It’s burgers and fries, so how could I go wrong?

The way it works is this: a regular burger has two hand-formed, freshly ground patties. They have a small size with a single patty. You pay the price on the marquee, but you can add as many or as few toppings as you like. Fries come in regular (huge) and large (I can only guess). They have hot dogs as well, but I didn’t try those… maybe some other time.

The Griddle

So you get a new cast iron griddle. You could maybe resist using it for a day, right? Sure.

Then on the next day, your wife says something about lasagna, but the man inside you has to well up and demand brinner! That’s right: bacon and pancakes. You could add to it, add some hash browns, eggs and other hoo ha, but you stick with the basics, because when it gets down to it, you’re a meat and potatoes kind of guy that only needs a single protein and starch in a meal to make you happy.

Instead of coffee, you can have beer, because it’s evening, and that’s ok.
