5 Guys is literally a ripoff now. What was so great about it pre covid was the price and what you got for that price. Now?

**** that place. Outrageous prices for a burger and frys.

It’s all out of total control IMO. Especially when I can crush it myself on my blackstone and make as good a smash bacon cheeseburger when I crave it.

It’s been over year now that I swore off any fast food and casual dine burgers.

Pure ripoff. Fast food is a
Joke save for Chick Filet.

That is the only fast food I even would eat now. Everything else is crap and expensive crap at that.

I only go there when I have an upside on it which usually is 20-25% off and with my boys (after swim meets we have gone a couple of times) that is $10 back (caps out at $10)

There are now 2 White Castles in Florida (one in Orlando and one in Clermont that just opened), and they're opening 2 more next year in Kissimmee and Daytona.

It's only a matter of time before we get one around here. Cmon, White Castle, let's get the ball rolling!!!

Inedible.

The only hamburger I refuse to eat. Absolutely horrible. I have no idea how they are in business.

The fact that you can find them in your grocery store's freezer section tells you everything you need to know.

Flying into LAX with my boys today. First thing we will do is hit up the In N Out on Supelveda. The boys are excited for the trip and one of the things they are looking forward to is trying In N Out. We had Five Guys last week which my older boy likes a good amount (younger still prefers McDonald's lol).

Every now and again I'll get a craving for a McD's cheeseburger. The OG. Not anything else, just their original cheeseburger, fresh and hot. I don't know why, but that just tastes so good to me.

Same here. The two cheeseburger meal just hits some times.

And their breakfast is tops for fast food, in my opinion. Their hashbrowns/OJ go together so well and the egg mcmuffin with ham is great.

McD's sausage egg McMuffin makes an appearance in my mornings maybe 2 times a year and I eat two of them when I do before I ever exit the car.

Take out the egg and I am right there with you. Sausage mcmuffin at the start of a road trip or going to early morning travel ball games is amazing.

If I get daring I take a hashbrown and put it in the mcmuffin. Also great

McDs for breakfast before swim meets or volleyball tournaments is not an uncommon thing for me. Outside of that, I rarely go to McDs for breakfast.

When I was 16, I ate 2 McMuffins on the way to the county championship swim meet. They weren't sitting great as I arrived (likely the savage hangover's work) but one must persevere.

Halfway through the 50 meter fly, as I turned at the wall, I threw up enough McMuffin to fill my mouth. Not wanting to let any leak into the pool and jeopardize the entire meet, I had to hold it in my mouth and not breathe for the last 25 meters. As soon as I touched the wall to end the race, I instantly, and basically in one motion, hoisted myself out of the pool, took 3 quick steps to the grass and spit the mouthful of partially digested McDonald's all over the place in full view of hundreds of horrified competitors and spectators. That was fun.

P.S. I clocked a 29.79 and finished 2nd in the county. It might have actually helped me finish faster.

Man up and swallow next time.

Shouldn't that really be woman up? I mean I guess it could be man up as well (NTTIAWWT)

They're popular enough that people want to buy them in grocery stores, I don't see how that makes them less than.

I've only had White Castle twice in the last 20 years, I used to eat Krystal all the time cuz we have them around here...something about the White Castle buns make them taste better...maybe the onions get more caramelized than Krystal? IDK...

I'm not saying White Castle blows them away but if I had a choice I'd go WC

I liked In n Out when I had them in Vegas a few years ago. Kinda like a fresher tasting McDs. Nothing fancy, just a cheap, tasty fast food burger.
