So you are OK with bacteria laden genetically altered chemically infused artificially flavored unethically farmed unsustainably produced beef like substances? But you are going to avoid BK because there was a pickle on it? I guess we all have to take a stance at some point in our lives. Glad you found your cause.

I ran into the same thing last night, planned on stopping at Five Guys Burgers only to find they were closed. Ended up at Taco Bell with one of those $5 NBA boxes, regretting that decision today.

You mentioned two of my favorite fast food places. Five Guys burgers are some of the best burgers anywhere, fast food or not and I just like TB occasionally. BTW I had the best Whopper I ever had in the Halifax, NS airport terminal. It didn't have that distinctive BK flavor and just tasted fresh, even the lettuce, pickles and tomatos looked fresh.

We tried to see what all the fuss was about by stopping at a Five Guys one day. It was like 2:30PM and there was a line to the exterior door. We pulled right out of that parking lot and went elsewhere.

Was tempted to stop on my way home from skiing today, there were a couple front row spaces at around 11.

I've heard fantastic reviews of Five Guys. Haven't had the opportunity.

Jeff, if you're in Boston, I recommend Uburger in Kenmore Square

Speaking of fast food places out west...they need to get some Carl's Jr. places here in the east. Think they would give McDs and BK a run for their money...

Carl's Jr is actually the exact same restaurant as Hardee's in the east. Really weird. Exact same restaurant, exact same menu for the most part; different names. Unfortunately, there are none in New England. Pretty odd that the 4th largest burger chain Hardee's/Carl's does not have a single restaurant in New England.

great fast food burger joint. In and Out I would rate only slightly better.

It amazes me that McDonalds and BK thrive or even survive for that matter, when such better options like Hardee's out there
