Five Guys Burgers and Fries

I am finding pushing myself all day in my manual chair is somewhat taxing. I had forgotten how much energy it took just to try to maneuver oneself in the van, trying to turn round and actually being thrown round the insides of the van from just normal traffic. I am still in my Chinese cooking phase and I had run out of been sprouts, Chinese cabbage, leeks and somuch other stuff one needs to cook Asian. So we decided to mount up together and drive to the East side and to get to a real asian market. Since breakfast had been light we decided to grab some fast food, a burger or something while we were on the shopping trip.

I wanted just a drive thru, fast food, I was in the manual wheelchair, no choose and shorts looking pretty scruffy. Dianne did offer to run in and get the lunch but the van was hot, the day was hot and a good market was close by so I decided dismount the van. Dianne had earlier in the month or something had gone to this Five Guys Burger and Fries the best in warehouse dining, and seemed impressed with the food and service. I sort of hated the place. This place is built primarily for Mormon/Catholic communities large open room with tables easily put together for additional family members, extended or other wise. The place we were in today could house a whole ward dinner or parish bingo night no problem with enough room left over the Lutherans and Unitarians ( if you could get them all in the same room). The place was packed, chaos everywhere it sounded like a ward dinner. Not only were the customers screaming , yelling and running round but the staff every time they took order and sent it back to the cooks would start yelling like a Kirby salesman making a sale. A huge line snaked itself to the order window where two high schoolers madly took orders and tried to keep the line moving(like lemmings inching closer and close to that vat of hamburger vat and leaping in to celestial self destruction. We made our order got our beverage refill paper cup and card board container to put roasted, salted peanuts on which to munch before your number comes up and your meal is ready. I was amazed at how many young professionals males were there, obvious at Five Guys Burger and Fries to get as much meat, potatoes and grease as they can before returning to the grind too bad they did not serve a cup of gravy for the fries.


Dianne had also ordered one order of fries—Oh, that is the other thing there are stacks of boxes full of Idaho( Rupert) potatoes which are sliced into ‘real’ French fried potatoes; just a huge order!! Our order finally arrived and the burgers were pretty good, definitely worth the five dollars. Not world class but what would you expect from warehouse dining with rock and roll blaring from the loud speakers with Grand ma staring off into the distance wondering if this is what “for time and all eternity” means.
