I regularly grab a quick lunch with my two colleagues at work. Though we have our favorites like Sonoma’s and Pub Dog, we like to venture out and try new joints too. When Fatburger came to town we decided that we’d check it out after the initial crowds died down. We were actually looking forward to it, having heard that their burgers were the best.
That’s always a tricky thing though. It’s kind of like places that claim to have the best crab cake. In my many years I’ve found that not everyone likes a crab cake the same way.

The bottom line is that we were disappointed with Fatburger for three reasons. It was dirty (the floor was sticky), the service was slow, and the burgers were burnt.
That got us to talking about who has the best burger around here. So far, I’d have to say that Fuddruckers gets my vote but lately I’ve heard a lot of buzz about Five Guys.
Today, while at the Mall, I spotted this sign.
The local burger war is starting to get intense.

Yes Five Guys is a great burger.
Cheeseburger Chesseburger is also very Deeelicious because you get to add all the extras.

Gotta go with Red Robin's veggie burgers. They rock.
An aside, do you WB get paid for linking to those establishments? Dino mom said something about a new sort of advertising wherein you can get paid for linking you blog text to advertiser sites.
Ingenious, if I'm understanding it correctly.
Veggie burgers are great - they have no mystery hard things or chewy grizzle. No mad cow (which might explain a lot about some of the postings :)hee.
And I'm not a vegetarian.
Anon 7:14 AM,
I receive no compensation for the links. I simply do it out of courtesy.

nice.. i'm a big fan of 5-guys... their fries are also very good..
will be nice not to have to make the trip to Westminster for 5-guys anymore..
wb - would you consider taking money for the references.
(You're a real dear for being courteous enough to link - noted)
Fatburger does a veggie burger that's decent. I'm allergic to the ones at Cheeburger Cheeburger and Fudruckers :-( Five Guys will do a condiment sandwich, which is actually quite tasty.

Nina- come back to the veggie side. We (literally) have cookies!
