I’ll agree…living where we have both an In-and-Out and Five Guys, my vote goes to Five Guys for sure. In-and-Out kicks ass too, but Five Guys is better.

That’s the kind of fan fiction you worry is going to end with someone getting tenderly ravaged by Derek Jeter.

I don’t see the reason for all the In-n-out love. It doesn’t compare to five guys at all. I was pretty disappointed when I ate there. I thought the fries being cut so fresh would be a great thing, but they were just so-so.

Finally had my first In-N-Out Burger last fall. I’ll still take a 5 Guys, not necessarily the same menu item Jonny5 linked.

That’s not a burger Mate. This is a burger… (in my best Dundee accent)

Craig prepped in front of his mirror, looking sharp in a tuxedo (with a Braves pin on the lapel). The 4 room suite was merely adequate (the TV was barely 60″ and NO voice commands! ugh!). Too bad Tiffany wasn’t available but NBC Sports sent a contractor from a security firm, a short chubby guy that was looking harried as he set up everything from his bag.

“Sir,” he said. “It’s all ready. The briefcase has a hidden camera and voice recorder that can be activated by the side button on the left here. The sensitivity is good enough that within a ten foot radius you should be able to get details from low voice conversations and whispers.”

Craig took the brief. “Should be handy as I listen in on the Theos, Alexes, Sandies and Rubens of the world.”

“This watch has a tracking device. The transmitter is this small pin.” He handed the pin to Craig.

“I’ll probably stick it on Lozano, gotta keep track of this sleaze. Safer than trying to track Pujols directly.”

“And your specs have been upgraded with a limited zoom capability.”

“That will be handy as I try to get any contract details and specifics on any pieces of paper people might be carrying or set on a conference room. This is all good.”

“Sir, I’m still confused, are you doing some sort of government work?”

“Government?” Craig had a hearty chuckle. “No my good man, I’m doing something far more important. I’m heading to the last day of the Baseball Winter Meetings.”
