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.

My girlfriend and I choose Stellas tonight for dinner over Red Lobster. Poor choice, really poor choice.
Mainly what we were hoping for is lobster as good as we had when we vacationed in Florida a couple of weeks ago. Stellas lobster was no where near that. It was absolutely disgusting. 0 out of 5 stars for the lobster. If you go here I implore you, don’t order the lobster.
Why, you might ask? Well, for one, this was the smallest lobster tail I’ve ever seen in my life. It’s printed on the menu as a 1 and 1/4 pound lobster tail from Maine. What it was more like is a craw fish from Louisiana. If that wasn’t bad enough when we finished the several bites from the lobster tail was the guts. Probably about 1 pound of this lobster was guts. Gross.
Stellas has always left a good impression in the past. Delicious oysters and a nice happy hour (at least that much remains). Tonight was totally imperfect. Not the stellas I remember. Maybe because it’s the start of spring break that this night was so bad but it was loud enough in there tonight to the point I feel like I’m def now after trying to have a good dinner. Prices were really high. Staff was unprofessional. I still have the stamp on my wrist from where I was carded at the door. Really, if you want a good dinner, especially if you want a good lobster dinner, Stellas Fish Cafe is not the place. I really hope someday they can bring back the classiness to this place. Well, hey, at least we got a good laugh watching the security carrying a couch past our table tonight as we dined.

For 5 days out of the week I listen to this top 40 hits station on Sirius satellite radio(NOT BY CHOICE). Well, it plays some of the most annoying, repetitive pop stuff you can possibly imagine. And not just once, yeah, it cycles through it throughout the day so you get the privilege of possibly hearing this soul-cringing music a couple times in a 8-hour work day.
So after the repetitive garbage on this station (called music) where it seems like the whole song is a chorus on repeat, I’ve decided to post this and request you submit your most annoying music ever as a comment below.
I’ll start with two musicians and songs that I just can’t take to hear one more time:
John Mayer- Heartbreak Warfare, so incredibly bad and repetitive, I wonder how many times he says “heartbreak warfare” in this horrible song.
Jason Mraz – Annoying, enough said without even mentioning the annoying & repetitive “I’m Yours”
