Today I went to 5 Guys Burgers. I've never been to this place before, so I was overwhelmed when I walked in. I ordered a bacon cheese burger with BBQ sauce, mushrooms and onions. Oh, yeah, and fries. I didn't know what I had gotten myself into.
My plan was to sit and eat in there, but as I stood there waiting for my burger, one of the cooks stood across from me staring. I grew more and more uncomfortable. By the time I got my burger, I was so uncomfortable and hot, I had to leave. As I exited that building, the cool outside air graced my body. This burger... was two patties, too much cheese, and way to much bacon. I ate about half of it before disgust took me over and I had to dispose of my failure. I'm not bashing Five Guys, because the burger was good-it was just too much for me. And my body will remember that burger for at least a week. Maybe it will force me to eat healthier for a while.
My List:
