Five Guys FTW  :cool:

This.

Five Guys RULES.  A bit more expensive than the "fast-food burger" chains, but OH so worth it.  Probably a good thing I don't go there much at all... I'm fat enough as it is. =D

Never been to Cheeburger Cheeburger - pretty sure they have one in the Baltimore area, near where I'll be next month for Farpoint (a geeky little science-fiction convention), but with the wife's food allergies, dining out tends to be iffy - burger joints generally don't have anything she can eat, so we don't tend to go to them when we go out.

If you go to Cheeburger, Cheeburger, get the small burger so you'll have room for one of their awesome shakes.

There are some good places here, I like Five Guys, Fuddruckers, Hardees, etc...

Also Burger King is far better than McDonald's.

No one has mentioned Steak and Shake. It's making me hungry just thinking about it.

Great burgers (they call them steakburgers), THICK shakes, and chili like no other chain restuarant.

MMMMMMMmmm.. it's nine a.m. and I want a Frisco Burger now.

Unfortunately, the closest one is Pittsburgh... and I'm in the DC area.

Of all the things I miss about the Illinois, Steak and Shake is near the top.
I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.

So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you also were meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought

Good shakes, okay burgers and crappy french fries.

If you like shakes and burgers and you are in IA, MN or WI check out a Culver's.

If you are in Iowa and like shakes, find a Maidrite restaurant. Older looking building, better food/shakes.

Iowa- 88% more livable that the rest of the US

I'll give you the fries are crappy, but I never like fries anyway.

Also, we had a Maidrite near my home town in Illinois when I was growing up (since out of business).

I don't remember the shakes, but I did love the loose hamburgers...

I might have to drive over to Marshalltown, IA tomorrow to get me a couple maidrites and a shake. Taylor's Maidrite has shakes so thick the spoon stands up and the shake stays in the glass when you turn it over.

The Burger King has his own video game where you sneak up on hungry people at different locales and surprise them with food.  Very humorous however weird.

As far as burgers go I like mine kinda warm in the middle with a slightly grayish tinge on the outside, still falling apart is OK.  Most burger places won't make them this way, which I guess is a good thing.

You mean, so bad, you never want to taste it again?  :)  And they're fries aren't bad, they're just a totally different kind than most places serve.  Still not that great, but not "bad" either.

You're a scapegoat and goats eat anything, why should we trust you on what tastes good or bad?

Do I still get to be scapegoat, after I lost the post count race? 

Also, the Steak and Shake fries go in the bean crock.  You HAVE to get the bean crock, and stick some fries in there.  OK, I promised the wife we could hit up Cracker Barrel tonight, but I'm gonna have to veto that, and go get a steak-burger.

Carl's Jr seems to revel in the obscenely large and greasy.  They should come out with a SPAM, bacon, cheese, and sausage Monte Cristo.  A double decker made from slabs of SPAM, ten or twelve strips of bacon, three or four different kinds of cheese, and a couple big patties of sausage, lathered liberally with mayo, and all battered up and deep fried.  In the grease from the bacon and sausage.  Served with a side of melted butter and for dipping and a bowl of raspberry chipotle sauce for sopping.  And washed down with about a gallon of cold milk. =D

Yeah, I'd like to have one.  Right now, in fact.  It would beat the heck out of this salad I'm eating.

Since it's your own fault you lost the post count race, you are still scapegoat.
