On the topics of Five Guys. What is your go-to burger?
Last few times I’ve ordered a bacon cheeseburger with grilled onions, grilled mushrooms, grilled jalapeño, mayo, and bbq sauce.

Just give me a double with mayo, raw onion, and extra pickle.
Ill pass on the fries.
But if you have onion rings? Count me in.

No doubt, Five Guys is pricey. In-N-Out is good for fast food and a better value, for sure. It is so hyped outside the states/regions that have them (like here in NY). Almost impossible to live up to. Burgers are great when you compare them to Mickey Ds. Almost anything is better than Mickey Ds. Love me some Andy Capp Hot Fries! Have not had them in years. And I do not tip unless I receive table service!

I imagine it’s similar to me trying Shake Shack in NYC the first time. I think it was impossible to live up to the hype, so I left thinking it was pretty overrated.

I love Shake Shack. The original one in Madison Square Park is still my favorite and it is still a shack. But one opened walking distance to my apartment a few years ago. I know they are a big chain now so the quality may not be consistent.

Although some fries with butter and sour cream works. I don't get the ketchup thing. You certainly arent putting ketchup on a baked potato.

And if we are discussing hot dogs?
GIVE me a Vienna beef, chicago style, the works, with celery salt. Actually give me 2.

Single patty, cheese, grilled onions, lettuce, tomato, pickle.

Agree on cost.
Close to $50 for family lunch. Wtf?
Gimme a good Sammie from a local deli for $10 each. Enjoy more and don't get the grease.

Jr. Cheeseburger, ketchup, mustard, pickles, raw onions and jalapenos. Small cajun fries. Coke zero or a sprite.

I grew up in CT and we have strong preferences for our local dogs. Hummel Bros. Rosols, etc. I actually mail order them once or twice a year.

I love a good Chicago dog, especially Superdawg because they use pickled tomatoes. I would never put ketchup on a Chicago dog, but grew up with ketchup, mustard, relish and onions as the standard toppings and mustard and sauerkraut when i lived in NYC. And the dog must be grilled. That is my one complaint about the Chicago dog, steamed/boiled dogs are not my favorite.

Made Cheeseburger with Bacon last night for supper

TahoeJeff · June 25

I've got something fun I'm gonna try for dinner tonight. If it turns out good, I'll share here! I'm also going to make a raspberry crumble with a bunch of raspberries from my back patio area. We have harvested at least 7 of those 32 oz yogurt containers worth of berries so far, and more are getting ripe to pick every day.

I like KC Steak Burgers with just Cheese. No condiments at all.

Tonight I made Dubai Tacos. I found the recipe on YouTube and had to try it. Middle eastern seasoned smash burgers cooked with the tortilla on top. Good stuff.

TahoeJeff · June 26

I also made a raspberry crumble.

Loujoe · June 26

Nice. Goldmine with those raspberries. Out here farms sell them for 7.50 a half pint! I like to hunt wild ones but recently found out they are 'wineberries' look the same and taste good. Also have a wild blackberry obsession. Those rip you to shreds!

Loujoe · June 26

pork green chili...again! No poblanoes. Only peppers are jalapeños.
Tomatillos, beer.
Added about 1/4 cup of sugar to combat the heat.
Cut up the pork and put back in.

Will be eating this forever. Likely freeze some or mail to Tahoe Jeff for some berries!

Blackberries abound here. They are the most delicious invasive plant species. It was actually pretty surprising to move into this apartment and have blackberries on my back patio area. it's the only area on the property that they grow. I am taking full advantage.
