What brought that rude remark on?

You’re picky

You’re picky

Nothing deserves a rude reply except a rude remark. Rude remarks must be meant to be rude consciously.

Five guys cajun fries are amazing. I take back what I said about @Thatbpguy

We may like @ABM more. But he needs to try five guys fries before we can definitively say.

purrfect answer.

Five Guys fries are the worst I have ever had. Limp, greezy, I can actually squeeze them and grease drips out. Horrible. And that report comes from eating their fries at 3 different locations.

I actually went to Five Guys today. Had the little bacon cheeseburger, Cajun fries, and the peanut butter milkshake. I was there around 2:30. Only person in the joint! Hence, made-to-order food. The burger was pretty good. Not the best I've had, but still tasty. The Cajun fries were very good. Very crispy and well seasoned. You'll see my pic...they were standing tall! (and plenty more fries in the paper bag, too boot!) The shake was very thick, creamy and great peanut butter flavor! All in all, I'll give the experience an 80+. Mainly, because I thought the hamburger was good, not great.

The apostle Peter disagrees with you.

How do you know MZ's remark was meant to be rude consciously?

Foster Burger, Portland’s chef-driven burger bar and shake shack, has closed

Foster Burger, Southeast Portland’s chef-driven burger bar and shake shack, closed after service Sunday, July 7, to make room for an expansion of next door’s Thunderbird bar, owner Kurt Huffman told The Oregonian/OregonLive.

The restaurant, which opened on Southeast Foster Road near the end of 2009, was originally backed by a wild lineup of culinary stars, including Pok Pok chef Andy Ricker, former Sel Gris chef Daniel Mondok and budding ChefStable restaurateur Kurt Huffman. Willamette Week first reported the plan to close......

I’ve always liked Little Big Burger. There fries are really good too.

When I eat fries I want them golden brown, delicious and hot. I can't stand white french fries after they're cooked. No longer eat McDonald, Burgerville, Burger King or any other joint's french fries because they're always a pale white. Also, when I order French fries I order them without salt so I get them hot. I can salt them myself at my table.

What was the secret?!

I now eat the pickle and lettuce on the side because they just made the burger too unwieldly and soggy. Also, we use better quality meat. No French fries though because my wife says they make the kitchen stove too messy with not oil even when using a splatter screen and fan operated vent.

I ate there several times and it was quite good. Easily in my top 5 for the Portland area. I think they also have a location in Beaverton.

Buy a fry daddy. I got the one larger and make excellent home cut fries. Use Yukon Gold as they have more starch and crisp better.
