Otherwise known as the "last hurrah" before the fasting and abstaining begins.
On Fat Tuesday then, one must take the opportunity to indulge in something decadent and delicious choosing to leave all guilt behind for the day. All I knew was that for my Fat Tuesday finish -- I wanted something fresh, juicy and loaded.
And the first place that came to mind was Five Guys Burgers and Fries
The beauty of Five Guys is their simplicity. Burgers are super fresh (the meat is never frozen) they do not use artificial trans fats and a message board that hangs on the wall alerts customers where their day's shipment of potatoes came from. Today they were from Teton, Idaho.
A regular burger comes with two slabs of fresh, hand-formed meat that are nicely irregular and super juicy. Five Guys claims to cook them all well-done, but mine was perfectly medium and drippy with juices and yellow cheese. Just the way I like it. Possibly the best burgers on the East Coast.

It's now an official family destination! Your brother insisted we go there during the snow storm on Sunday. Good thing though -- not only did we have a delicous lunch but we ran into Jack T. Jr and Patty! It was so nice catching up with them.
As a matter of fact when your eldest brother visited your youngest brother immediately after, he was convincing him to go check out 5 guys!
You're all so on the same page!
I have a 5 guys less than a mile from work so it's really dangerous for me... luckily I do have a tiny bit more restraint than your brother. LOL!
P.S. I watched a bit of "timshel" last night too.
I'm glad you enjoyed your Fat Tuesday. Now what are you gonna give up for your Christian spring training of Lent? :)

5 Guys RULES. I have one about 1/4 mile from my house. It is my reward for going to the gym on Saturdays.....

After seeing that burger and fries I sure wish I would have allowed myself to indulge when I had my chance (in Huntsville, AL) - no Five Guys in my area!
