Five Guys Burger and Fries vs. In N Out Burger

Thursday, April 15th, 2010

Since moving back to Minnesota I must say there are certain things missing here that I grew accustomed to living on the west coast. One of them happens to be In N Out Burger.

Today for lunch I was invited to check out Five Guys Burger and Fries. I thought maybe, just maybe, it might kind of compare to the deliciousness of In N Out Burger? No way. Not even close. Other than the Juicy Lucy there is nothing in the midwest that compares with In N Out.

These two burger companies I’m comparing are actually kind of coastal rivals. In N Out from the west coast, Five Guys Burgers from the East coast. A lot of other facts you can review on each companies website (under history). But, for now I leave disappointed with just about everything about 5 Guys Burgers: Not as tasty as IN N Out, Slow Service, missed parts of what I asked for on my burger, bad fries, slow service considering there were actually more like 20 guys working there, loud and annoying in there, greasy to-go bag, and also, really not worth the $10.15 for the regular which should be called the double and the regular fries which is so much bad, greasy fries in your paper bag there really is room for nothing else.

Oh, In N Out, when are you coming to the midwest. Please, save us.

Paul Ryan – The Reader Weekly

I wrote this letter to the Duluth Reader Weekly when I used to live up there. I’m not sure if Paul Ryan even writes for them anymore but this was my letter/review:

“Paul Ryan is a really good writer. If it wasn’t for him I don’t know if I would even pick up a free copy of your reader. Maybe the only reason would be to get let down by the horrible duluth nightlife section which is about to get worse now due to the smoking ban (poor bar owners). Anyway, thanks for having an interesting, young writer in your paper, don’t lose him because as we all know by the Duluth News tribune, we lack interesting writers up here.”
