No one throws the shells on the floor in our area. I am going to go get one today for lunch

Yup – Five Guys is in New England. My folks introduced me to them in a strip mall location in CT and then they just opened one near us here outside of Boston. They are YUMMY. However, you can certainly adopt us and we will voraciously blog about the most awesome Margot burgers that you would feed us.

We have a Five Guys near us too (NJ). I thought they were just around here — like some kind of local shop started by Five Guys. Apparently I am very wrong! The burgers were good … but I have to stay away or I’ll go crazy for them! And I’ve heard nothing but good things about In and Out burgers but we don’t have any near us that I know of. And my husband and I discovered White Castle hamburgers (those little ones?) and we just loved them…. their fries were good too but then they closed down. I envision you on the search for the perfect burger! : )

Yes, we went and it was yummy! Kind of a drive for burgers, but perhaps that will keep us from eating them every week. I got my burger with cheese, ketchup, mustard, grilled onions & mushrooms, raw onions, pickles, lettuce and jalapenos. It was SUPER messy and wonderful. I admittedly got carried away with unlimited topping choices. The fries were tasty too. I wasn’t clear about the salted peanuts & throwing the shells on the floor. Anyone know the history of this? I found it a bit odd. I NEVER throw anything on the floor and especially wouldn’t expect someone else to pick it up. I have to say In ‘N Out is still my favorite, Fat Burger is good too (and I think they are a 24-hour spot).
Thanks for the delicious post!

Yes, Michael, those are definitely poutines. And very good ones at that. I’m actually a potato person and one of these days I’ll have to do a post on where to find the best fries, er, poutines.

Okay, just wondering – is that a poutine you have next to your burger? Poutine = french fries + fresh curds + gravy

Okay, for some reason I remembered the Obama/Five Guys connection, but assumed they weren’t that big of a chain. So, I checked the website and there is one 10 miles away and and a new one coming soon only 5 miles away! And now you’ve made me hungry! I’ve already had pizza today so burgers tonight are out of the question, but maybe this weekend.
I like In ‘N Out, but loved Fatburger when I was in LA.

Sounds so good. I also like In N’ OUT though I don’t have one very often. So good and so fattening.

In Milwaukee they specialize in Butter Burgers – burgers on which gets slathered a big chunk of butter. They’re other places in Wisconsin, but Milwaukeeans really pour on the butter, so that you’ll be all ready for your dessert of frozen custard!!!
