I bought two burgers and a small fries at Five Guys, the local burger chain. They make nice burgers, the double cheese is around $6.

But the fries are something. I ate quite a few, then brought the bag home. This is what I had left. Notice I still had a cup full in addition to what was on the plate and what I ate with the other burger. I think this was like $2.65.

I've been there once and I have to say the fries are in the top five of my all time french-fry list. Really good but really filling.

The white vinegar being available was the real push!

The list:

Al's Stand (with gravy)
McDonald's (this was back when they used the 100% lard, not that healthy shit they have today)
Five Guys (see above)
Tahou's (it's a garbage plate, what more needs to be said)
Orbakers (again with the vinegar OR gravy!)

The one thing I always liked about Five Guys was that the "regular" burger is a double, and the kids' version is the single. And yes, that they fill every remaining square inch of the bag with fries.

I must say, though, the Five Guys we had out in Denver? Went there once, and... yeah, not really as good as I remembered.

There's a little place down in the middle of town here (the four-way stop sign!) in Port Hadlock called "Bloomers Landing" which makes burgers, and is just a counter -- you have to wait outside the building while they cook it -- and man, those are the best fast-food-style burgers I've ever had.

(And fast-food-style burgers are my favorite, so, you know... I enjoy Bloomers Landing!)

Sick dude, you microwaved your old fries?

Since they were in the reefer overnight, (get your mind out of the gutter; I used to work for the subcontractor that takes safety reports for the Federal Railroad Administration and 'reefer' means a refrigerated rail car), I didn't particularly want to eat them cold - not just cold as in room temperature, but 38 degrees F - so I did heat them up and I didn't want them baked. I do like them soft. The bag absorbs a lot of the grease.
