So I was texting my girlfriend. I wanted to go to the burger joint 'five guys' for lunch. My original text (unsent) Quote: I want five guys for lunch I then quickly realized what I was about to say, and changed it to Quote: I want to go to five guys for lunch The nuances of the english language...it's all in how you say it. Two similar sentences with VERY different meanings

Example: "Time to eat, Grandma" versus "Time to eat Grandma"

IMO they're expanding too quickly. They have decent burgers but In-n-Out fries are way better  /that should start an argument

I love in-n-out sooooo damn much. If you order fries, a kid cuts the potato and fries them on the spot for your order. They've evolved the fast food burger joint down to a singular beauty. This is the entire menu.  /although their secret menu is larger than the official one

Oh man, the In-N-Out Burger secret menu...I've heard legendary stories about strange creations from my West Coast friends and family. |

order your fries "animal style" and this is what you get:  basically cheese fries with their burger sauce and grilled onions...must eat with a fork but they're awesome. You can tell them how to fry your fries....light or well done. If you order your burger "Protein Style" they replace the bun with a lettuce wrap.  Here's most of the secret menu: http://www.badmouth.net/in-n-outs-secret-menu/ and you can order burgers as tall as you want...2x2, 4x4, 20x20...I've even seen a 100x100 "burger" |
