But I can go along with someone else fixing a good burger for me. Cerrin has been raving about a new  burger place  in town called Five Guys. So off we went to check it out. Nice cheerful interior. Clean and pleasant. The person at the counter had a huge smile and a cheerful manner.

The menu is strictly burgers, fries, hotdogs and drinks (coke products). You can have just about anything on your burger. In fact, they say there are 250,000 ways to have your burger. I didn’t do the math. I just order A-1, catsup, raw onions, tomatoes and lettuce. Here’s what my order looked like.

How did it taste? Very good. Very juicy – It was a 10 napkin burger. How did it compare to my own homemade? It didn’t have that grilled flavor but it still tasted like homegrown beef. I could tell it had been hand-patted as it was not that perfect round shape you get at the fast food places. As I read their information, they are proud of the fact they never use frozen beef and their french fries are from real Idaho potatoes.

I was on the phone to my daughter Candice in Portland, Oregon and before I could tell her about Five Guys, she was telling me about one near them! She said they wanted to try out the burgers because, if they were “good enough for Obama, we should try them.” What? Obama eats Five Guys burgers? It turns out he does! A tv crew was filming the president for a day and he had to make a burger run. They have it all on video and you can see it HERE. How does he like his burger? As you’ll see on the video, he likes cheese, jalapenos, tomatoes, mustard and lettuce. I think he likes a little punch with his beef. Good to know that about our president.

To see if you have a Five Guys near you, check their website HERE. There is one other place that makes burgers almost as good as mine. It’s on the west coast. Next time we’re there I’ll show you the In ‘N Out burger. Mmm. How do you like your burgers? Please don’t tell me you’re a vegetarian.
