Andy,
Any chance that when we come through on Friday that 5 Guys is close enough that we could make that our lunch stop?

+1 on In-N-Out Burger. They pretty much only have2 food items on the menu: Burgers andfries. They are a blue-collar feast.

Andy-there are no In-N-Out locations in Chicago......you are correct that they are only in the west. They are just now getting Sonic Drive-ins in the midwest.
BTW, Sonic is one of my favorite joints as well.....a true old style drive in with curbies on roller skates. Our favorite location is the one right next to Luke Air Force Base. We like to go there during the summer, sit outside under the "misters" and watch the F-16s do their flying maneuvers. Tator Tots, a burger, a shake, and war planes.....can't beat that for family fun.

I think that restaurant is here in Arizona Andy. They had an obese guy as their spokesman, but he died of heart disease earlier this year.....I'd say ironic, but not really. On a side note, I had 5 Guys this week. While it was very good, I would have to rank Smash Burger ahead of them just a little. I still rate Smash Burger best, then In-N-Out, then 5 Guys a strong 3rd........As for Sonic, I always order their Chilli dogs so hard for me to compare their burgers. On a Side-Side note, While I was in Utah 2 weeks ago, I found one of the diners that they previewed on Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives with Guy Fieri. The name of the place is Moochies. They are a family from Philadelphia that moved to SLC and opened a real Philly sandwich joint. Their specialties are the Philly Cheesesteak (surprise) and their homemade meatball and marinara sandwich....I had to order BOTH....just for research purposes. When I ordered I noticed that they were advertising the meatball marinara sandwich as "Guy Fieri's favorite", and they were right on the money with that one! One of the best sandwiches I have ever had. As for the Philly Cheesesteak, I was not that impressed...definitely had better......but the meatball marinara makes this place a MUST STOP if you happen to be in Salt Lake City, Utah.
