lol
I love this thread, but I swear I put on 10lbs just reading it.
few things...
Yes..5 guys in Northern Va is the original home for it(Arlington,va was the first). An no, none are the same once they branched out of Va/MD area. There is reason they are so well loved. That sucks they ruined it out west from what it sounds like. Dun know about paying by the piece..You order a burger, fries, an a soda..just like everywhere else. They don't have a lot of options...it's all burgers, with the exception of a hot dog(not bad) and a grilled cheese(also not bad) but I go for the burgers. They are good for a restaurant. **** good. An yes out east in Va/Md an even here on my sandbar..if you order fries, you will get a half a bag of them. Fresh cut, different potato every day. the one here on my sandbar is just like home, well close enough. I've been eating at 5 guys since they opened, so...I can honestly say..I know a bit about them. lol.
**** fine burgers, don't know if I'd call them the best, but they sure are close. We go there now an then for a taste of home, to the one here on the sandbar. There is always a line and a wait during the summer.
Second...I'm going to KZ's for breakfast, hitting up Cory for Lunch, not sure about dinner..someone post their dinner! I need a third stop!
Third...on wings. I love wings. I prefer the garlic butter, regular hot, or some other variation that isn't going to burn my throat. We had a place in N.Va once called Buffalo Wing University. Good wings, cold beer, great mixed drinks, an very lovely bar tender lasses.
this was when I was single man. They had some wings called DOA, literally had to sign a wavier for them. Was always funny going around happy hour an hanging out, an watching the college kids from George Mason U who thought they were all bad ass, order them, then run off to the bathroom to get sick, after 2 wings. LOL. An when I say mixed drinks...they had about 50 different types of shooter bombs. Basically a shooter of <whatever flavor rum, energy drink, they used roaring lion, cant say if it works with redbull.) Best was one called a bazooka. It litteraly tasted like the old Bazooka bubble gum, to the point you'd be trying to blow bubbles after drinking it. It's gone down hill from what I hear since last time I was there though, which makes me sad. Edit : Reason I like them not so hot, is due to a bleeding ulcer when I was younger. Really hot just puts me in pain, an is no fun. So I gotta keep it where I can enjoy it. An 30 wings..with 8 beers, sounds like just a start to me.
Fourth..Have at it Cory. Rock my tagline in your own variation. I like you enough.
You ever make it out this way, we'll head up to Va beach, there is a shop up there I've dying to try. Huge Pastrami, corned beef, etc sandwiches. I mean huge. Big as your head huge! I think the average one costs about 15 bucks. They got one that is..like 3lbs. 1lb of turkey, 1lb of Pastrami, 1lb of Corned beef, = 23.99! Or some where around that range. I will get there! We got a place here on the sandbar, been around 20 years or so, convenience store, and sub shop. They make THE BEST subs on the sandbar. I mean kick ass style. So good you'll want to slap your grandma.
An anywhere that serves a lb of bacon with everything..is my kind of place.
This thread should be a sticky with a warning of "Reading this thread will put 10lbs on you per page.." Ha ha!
Keep'm coming Cory, an as always..be safe out there boss. I want pics next time...you know royalties for you using my tagline.
Sirscrapalot - If I stopped doing everything people said was unhealthy..I'd never get to enjoy life.
