When I first came to Cali, everyone was so surprised I had never had In n Out, so we stopped there during our road trip back to Oregon last year.

#1 most disappointing meal I have ever had.

You people are crazy.

I don't eat red meat any more for certain reasons, but In n Out isn't great as far as GOOD burgers go. They probably hold my vote for #1 fast food burger though. Hudsons just celebrated their 100th year anniversary in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho. It is by far the best burger I've had. Just burgers and pies. Nope no fries. Don't dare ask for ketchup either, unless you like receiving mean looks from the cooks, who are a couple feet from the bar stool you're sitting on. As soon as you're finishing up the first burger and wishing you were only half way done with the meal, the server (or burger bartender), asks if you'd like another. You can't say no, just too damn good. The place is always packed, and you wait for individual seating. No family joint folks, the true in-n-out experience sent from heaven.

God, I'm drooling, thanks guys...

The Car Lounge! Yess the only forum I ever had thousands of posts on. Haven't checked it in a year or two though.

Leuks you ever been to The Whisk & Ladle in La Jolla? I had a birthday dinner there two years ago that was the shizbang.

Also Don Carlos was killer, but then again I'm from New England so all your Mexican food was amazing to me. I loved la jolla...

Achievement unlocked. The cashier was a hesitant newbie but the manager was chill and hand wrote my demands. Best part was when my wife said she's getting what I'm getting minus the fries and pigged out; I <3 sqrls + man portion sizes. :D
Packing down carbs for tomorrow.

Oh yes I have! As well as the prepkitchen. Good eats. I don't even know where to begin on which is my favorite dish at either of those places as 1. I have not tried everything yet and 2. all the stuff that I've tried so far has been to die for.
On the other note, you can't go wrong with Mexican food in San Diego in general; seriously. But if you want some carne asada fries to die for Lolitas in kearney mesa is the place to be cheap and the proportion is ridiculously generous.

You sir are spreading heresy; off with your head! Give it a second chance?

Hmmm, In-N-Out ain't mindblowing but they're definitely some quality fast food burgers and fries. What was wrong with them, PA?

I'm a 5 Guys guy myself now, however. That's the goods.

Good eats.

I'm all about the old-school greasy burger joints like these, too:

dat southern fried chicken tonight with chocolate milk.

Along my time in the bay area I've been to all 4 in Oakland. Nothing beats this chain when it comes to old fashioned burgers.

I have nothing against them, per se. I think from hearing about how awesome they were so much and for so long I was expecting a burger I could spread my man juice all over and make babies with, maybe even receive a foot massage.

And despite living in WA/OR for all of but 2 years of my life, I have never eaten at 5 Guys.

Take me on a date, I promise I will call back the next day.

Lemon meringue pie. All from scratch.

I was supposed to go on a 20 mile bike ride,to Pannikin coffee shop in Encinitas, but last night's dinner did me in. Did not wake up to 8:30 had to be on the road by 630, just did not happen. I found this little Japanese restaurant in downtown San Diego with awesome food and good sake, I couldn't be more happy!!

They just got here last year. They're from the east coast and totally blew up when Obama ate there or something like that.

In WA or OR?

There's a 5 Guys next to my old recruiting station that's been there for as long as I can remember.

EDIT: Well, at least, as of 2 years ago, so it could be pretty recent. I'm a derp.

Farewell to Burlington meal... crazy good chicken and waffles at Duino Duende.

West Hartford, CT here I come

Restaurant name please! :lol:

Best Burger joint I've ever been to. Santa Rosa, CA. I wish I still lived out there :(

Cheers mate!

Just had pizza and beer. Now it's sleep time.

Ramen and hot fries to soak up all the free whisky my band was given tonight.
