The fries here are rather good.
Too far of a drive
Just gotta drive 3,600 miles to get it.
LOL! Nice!
The fries are good but I don’t think that good.
If you are ever in the area, drop in. I’d call ahead to have it ready.
The people are very nice.
I try to visit once a week on my lunch to help support them. Besides, it’s an excuse to get out of the office for a few minutes. I’m one of the few that goes. 30 minute lunch and all.
I went by McDonald’s this morning for an Egg McMuffin and hash browns. I brought them home, microwaved them for 20 seconds and ate. The heat from microwaving should kill any viruses, and I get a hot breakfast while the wife sleeps in.
Agree. Tried Five Guys, went back to In-N-Out. Double-double, protein-style - got on that back in my college days, still eat one at least once a week.
There’s a Five Guys less than a mile from my home. There’s a Smashburger even closer, and while I’ve eaten at 5 Guys a few times, I really prefer Smashburger.
They give you a monstrous serving of fries at Five Guys, and as I recall they were quite good, but I really prefer Smashburger’s “Smashfries,” which are seasoned with rosemary.

When I look at this page here on, Malwarebytes pops up saying it blocks fastfoodmenuprice.com as an outbound.
Making sure people are informed. It could just be me.
Common sense approach to take out.
We drove past our favorite burger joint today that makes a great pizza burger. The temptation was there to stop in, but we just do not plan on getting sick, so kept on going.
When we travel, we pack lunches. With self serve gas and packed lunches, it’s next to impossible to get the China Flu or any other communicable disease as long as we distance ourselves from people and stay away from crowds.
That all sounds delish, Sam.
Curious, are you still going to grocery stores?
What if you have to stop and use facilities, along the way?
Full of fomites.
Are you traveling for business?
They are on the pricey side, however all the times I went they have been very good and always had people cleaning.
BUMP
I'm hooked on burger joints, the Waffle House, a couple of truck stop restaurants, McCormick & Schmits, Lawry's The Prime Rib (Las Vegas), and family-owned Italian restaurants...
And every one of them “CLOSED”
Love McCormick & Schmidgt and Lawry’s
Soon to be distant memories...
My Malwarebytes just did the same thing...
We’ve gone out of our way to frequent locally owned restaurants.
Field report from the desert southwest metro PHX area:
After 4 days of self imposed home confinement, I went to our closest local eatery last night, driving about six blocks from home, to pick up a phoned in order.
Don’s NY Pizza, of Peoria, AZ, had about a dozen cars parked along the sidewalk surrounding the business with customers waiting in their cars for their orders to be ready. One couple was inside ordering at the counter, so I stood outside until they were done. As they left, another customer entered the lobby using a different entryway, so I remained outside until the customer had finished placing his order. He repositioned himself about 25 feet away from the counter, permitting plenty of space for me to enter and interface with the proprietors. Seeing this gesture, I then went inside the business, picked up my order and promptly left.
An elderly gentleman that had just left the building when I first pulled up, was heading back inside the lobby and held the door open for me, making a joke about me saving some of one of the two liter bottles of soda I had, for him.
All in all, a fairly uneventful trip that carried little risk and other than people self distancing themselves, was ordinary in every other way.
Do you wear gloves when you touch the pump handles?
