After a month long trip to Asia, work buddies decide to take me out to Five Guys for a burger. You'd figure after not having a hunka-slab-o-beef for a while that this would be the best thing since.. sliced hamburger patties.
Well.. it was ok. However, over the years, I've learned that 100% pure beef of one cut will only be so good. The best burgers in the world are blended burgers. Some kind of cheap cut along with some fatty ones
like short ribs, and/or some additional gamey like meat (i.e. lamb).
5 guys fries were above average and loved the Cajun spice on my fries. But the burger itself no better/worse than a Johnny's burger or a Burger hut, albeit a bit more pricey. That alone will keep me going back to the mom and pop shops.
Hmm I think I'll start my own chain. 2 Chicks with meat and a cup?
nah..
