    Should be a matter of days/maybe a week? I went by there this morning and the door was open - looked about 90% ready

    And here I was, eating well and working out and whatnot.

    Oh, damn you Five Guys and your tasty burgers and fries. Damn you to hell for moving two blocks away from me.

    blech. I really dislike their burgers. too average, too boring. meat quality is average, bread is pan bimbo, and, frankly, they're expensive for greasy. I'd rather have white castle.

    White Castle is late night drunken staple for me. Fortunately every apartment I've lived in and am about to live in have all been about a 10 minute walk to the nearest White Castle. The apartment gods (or the hungry drunk dude gods) must love me.

    Forget Five Guys. I want an In-n-Out in Park Slope. Grilled cheese animal style and fries animal style. *SO* good. I think 4th Ave would be a great location, perfect for the whole California, car-culture vibe. Maybe it could dislodge the McDonald's.

    My body doesn't know how to digest White Castle, and I've tried twice. That kind of excitement I can do without. PLUS Five Guys puts Old Bay on the fries.

    Nice idea, but probably won't happen. All In-N-Outs are privately owned by the founding family and they have no plans to take the company public or franchise any restaurants.

    Five Guys is very good, but too greasy/fattening to go much.

    I would love some In-N-Out now, one of the best burger chains ever, I need to get back to the West.

    In-n-Out plus Peet's would totally make NYC livable.

    Never mind that, I want a FATBURGER!

    I just found out there's one at
    5288 Sunrise Hwy
    Massapequa Park, NY 11762!


    I'm also hoping for a Tim Hortons

    to open closer than Connecticut.

    I'll stick with either homemade, soda burger or ... shocker ... white castle. yum. how many times have I awakened at like 9 a.m. after being out til 7 with half a bag (cause I already ate the first half!) of jalapeno cheese burgers and jalapeno cheese chicken ring sandwiches.

    I tried Fatburger when I was down in Miami (they just opened both a Fatburger AND a Five Guys on South Beach...where were these things when I lived there?). a decent fast food burger, but nowhere near In & Out. not something i'd go out of my way for if they started popping up here.

    Nah, to all .. and we know In-N-Out isn't going east of Arizona.
    And for you Peet's fans, there's one in Terminal 7 [United/British Airways] at JFK.

    We need one of these, preferably on 4th Avenue:

    "Car culture" is an oxymoron. You want car culture, move to Long Island, where you can eat dead meat and choke on exhaust fumes while the planet boils.

    How could I forget about Tommy's?
    Ruined a good shirt once at the original location near downtown LA.
    Eating standing up ... took a bite and the chili flew out.
    Great burger, you need a forest full of napkins to eat it!

    Uh, I already said that I get grilled cheese, animal style. That's a grilled cheese with fried onions. No meat.

    Car culture is alive and well on 4th Avenue. I'd prefer to choke and boil here in Brooklyn, thank you.

    I don't get it? What's Vegas about good burgers and good coffee? I would gladly have Peet's over Starbucks or the drek that most corner delis pass off as coffee.

    And, for the record, I'm not from the west coast.

    Remember, Mare, you're from Brooklyn! Go get'em!
    We need more, tastier burgers!
    We need superb coffee! After all, it's the late Mr. Peet himself who taught the Starbucks crew all they originally knew!

    Five Guys have all their awards/ratings up on the wall. Sounds good to me.

    "Though it doesn't come close to rivaling McDonald's which has 13,800 US restaurants, Five Guys Enterprises' growth rate is impressive. The Lorton, Va., company had just eight restaurants in early 2004. Today, the chain has grown to 298 in 27 states. Last year alone, it opened 100 stores."

    Yes, and that's why Fourth Ave is a smoggy, uninhabitable wasteland.

    I don't know. I try to stay East of the Hudson at all times.
