If you ever visit the DC area and need a good burger, I know many ENWorlders can back me up on this one, hit up Five Guys... gives In and Out Burger a run for its money.

Oh wow, Five Guys Famous Burgers And Fries ROCK! We just got one in C'ville a few months ago.

BEST. BURGER. EVER.

I like how they tell you what town adn state the potatoes came from that are being used for the fries that day, too. A nice little thing that makes me smile.

sonic advertises in chicago, but all of their locations (which i've never even seen) must be in the suburbs. same with steak n' shake (those i have seen, and one is in evanston near my house).

Mmmmmm. Steak 'n Shake.... makes me want to go to GenCon RIGHT NOW!

We've got two of them within 5 miles of our apartment (one within walking distance). It's totally awesome.

Good burgers don't come from fast food joints.

They come served on real plates accompanied by tall beers in places more likely to have the words "pub", "tavern" or "bar & grill" in the name.

Mrs. Boz died and went to heaven when she found out there was one not 10 minutes from our house.

here are a couple - there is a lot of stuff happening in the commerical: the mountain, the two girls licking their fingers in dipping sause. I may be seeing things (spring guy out of control stuff) but very suggestive.

You're not seeing things.

Did you happen to catch the "extended version" with the two cowboys reclining while the french fries "grow" behind them? Rather suggestively placed french fries. Rather suggestively "growing."

Nope, they advertize nationwide, but their store placment is either incompetent or intentionaly avoiding politicaly left areas. The only saving grace is that they are near major highways.

at least that is how it looks to me...

I'm surprised they're that widespread. I had the impression they were pretty much confined to the south central part of the country.

I had Steak N Shake once when I was on a business trip up north and I didn't think it was all that great. I'd probably rather get McDonalds or BK.

Maybe all the "politically left" areas are avoid because they're feckin' COLD.

And that's bad for a drive-in restaurant.
