Dusty Chalk Posted October 25, 2010 Report Posted October 25, 2010 I have never had a 5 guys burger I liked less than any of the in-n-out burgers I've had. And I prefer both to mcdonalds for anything either sells. I won't eat mcdonalds, even with the alternative being starving to death.Ditters. Well almost -- the only thing I will eat at McDonald's is the Walnut & Fruit salad. Dusty: tuna salad sandwich w/Provolone and lots of black pepper (Dusty joins the 'refers-to-self-in-3rd-person' club)
909 Posted October 25, 2010 Report Posted October 25, 2010 (edited) Went to the new 5 Guys in Thousand Oaks last night. After hearing about them here, I was very interested in trying them out. I ordered a hamburger with lettuce, grilled onions, mustard and relish, and a small fries. I was very disappointed in the hamburger. You can only get them cooked well-done. The patties were dry and almost tasteless. The fries were much better, but not great. I'd take McD's fries over them any day. The TO location hasn't been open very long, so hopefully this is just a start-up problem and the food will improve to match the 5 Guys hype. They have a long way to go. I've been to three Five Guys locations in So Cal (Carson, Cerritos, and TO) numerous times. While I've only been to the Thousand Oaks location three times, it is my least favorite by a large, large margin. The Cerritos location is completely on another level plus they consistently deliver.

postjack Posted October 25, 2010 Report Posted October 25, 2010 I like 5 guys better then in and out, but I've only had in and out once. both are delicious. 5 guys fries are my favorite fries ever. salt em up and dip them in ketchup mixed with malt vinegar. feels like I'm in an awesome mixture of America and Scotland.
boomana Posted October 25, 2010 Report Posted October 25, 2010 Tempura cheesecake. Definitely not on my diet plan, but very yummy.
The Monkey Posted October 25, 2010 Report Posted October 25, 2010 That sounds gross....and I would like to try it.
Absorbine_Sr Posted October 25, 2010 Report Posted October 25, 2010 Will be making olive burgers tonight. Nothing complex - grilled hamburgers topped with sliced green olives and mayo. Simple but we love 'em.
mypasswordis Posted October 26, 2010 Report Posted October 26, 2010 3 eggs sunny side up (salted), 2 slices whole wheat bread, big bowl of pasta salad (farfalle, broccoli, cauliflower, spring salad w/ dressing), bowl of oatmeal w/ a bit of sugar and honey. washed down with 3 cups of milk
Absorbine_Sr Posted October 26, 2010 Report Posted October 26, 2010 Yum! John, you're scarin' me dude.
jvlgato Posted October 27, 2010 Report Posted October 27, 2010 Bacon and chocolate. Sounds weird, tastes great!
Dusty Chalk Posted October 28, 2010 Report Posted October 28, 2010 Trader Joe's Garlic Chipotle salsa with Guiltless Gourmet unsalted corn chips == addictive to the point of bloat. Oops. I just ate a whole jar. Blargh.
jinp6301 Posted October 29, 2010 Report Posted October 29, 2010 cheetos also forgot to say, thanks for the appetizer recipes last week. people liked my food
shellylh Posted October 29, 2010 Report Posted October 29, 2010 about to have a brie crusted thick cut loin pork chop and a baked potato. That sounds mighty good. Just got back from dinner where I had pistachio crusted goat cheese cakes, braised bonleess beef shortribs, beets whipped with potatoes (aka "winter mashed potatoes"), sauteed spinach, and Nieto Malbec.
boomana Posted October 30, 2010 Report Posted October 30, 2010 Reese's Miniatures and candy corn that I bought for the maybe one or two trick-or-treaters I get every year.
jinp6301 Posted October 30, 2010 Report Posted October 30, 2010 what all did you make? asparagus wrapped with proscuitto, that baked brie thing you recommended, shelly's baked jalepeno with cheese and bacon and my roommate made 2 indian dishes which I already forgot the name of. cupcakes by one of the girls for dessert
NightWoundsTime Posted October 31, 2010 Report Posted October 31, 2010 Trying my hand at some basic cheesemaking. Won't eat till tomorrow but I've made up something like a paneer cheese today to go into a Saag Peneer tomorrow. Wish I'd gone authentic and used lemon juice but the recipe I found used buttermilk (rennet cultures). Made a nice soft fluffy ricottalike substance that I pressed most of the water out of. It's currently in a gallon plastic bag in the fridge with a cookie sheet over top and a heavy jug of water on top of that. Should be able to cut into cubes and fry in some peanut oil tomorrow. Then it gets cooked with mustard greens and lots of spices. Hoping it turns out good.
Voltron Posted October 31, 2010 Report Posted October 31, 2010 That sounds cool. Post pics of the results.
tyrion Posted October 31, 2010 Report Posted October 31, 2010 That does sound good Matt. Make something for the meet. I would love to try some. Don't forget the pics.
