Five Guys Burgers & Fries Alive In South Surrey

After finding out last night that Five Guys was open a few blocks from home, I whipped out this after noon for a late lunch and The Burger That Changed My Life. Seriously,these 5 guys makes a damn good burger. And bring your bank card, the prices aren't cheap. But you know what? The fresh, quality, ingredients more than make the extra bucks worth it.

I decided to go with the Little Bacon Cheeseburger, which means a single patty. If you order a regular bacon cheeseburger you get two patties. One is enough for me, so I paid, got over my disappointment that the hot dogs aren't available at this location yet, and made my way to the peanuts for a snack while I waited. When my number was called I was surprised to see every order comes in a paper bag, to go or not. I soon found out why- the fries were absolutely overflowing from the contained and filling up 1/4 of the bag. Genius. One quick taste and I was hooked. I don't know if it's the Idaho potatoes or the peanut oil they are cooked in,but these home cut fries are excellent. They put New York Fries to shame and I never even touched the salt shaker.

Next, I opened up my tinfoil wrapped burger to find heaven melting under a sesame bun. I 've had Fat Burger, Red Robin, Vera's Burger Shack and White Spot.....THIS was way better. Wow. I'm a bit of a purest when it comes to bacon cheeseburgers so it was just pickles,mustard and ketchup on mine and it was so juicy and tasty and filling. I barely finished half the burger and hardly put a dent in the fries, 2-3 people could easily share a regular size.

It was really quite enjoyable, a nice change from fast food and a welcome addition to South Surrey. I may have left a little lighter in the pocket and a bit heavier in the belly but I had a big grin on my face and plan to come back soon.

Shameless Sunday...

Good morning all....this will be short and sweet because I have a lot to do today. Well a lot to do in the next few hours and then it's Big Love and Golden Globe time!!

So, my parents are coming out for lunch today and I still can't decide what to make. I'm thinking homemade pizza and salad. Salad...hmm. To quote a good friend, "Salad is pizza's annoying friend." Too true,too true. But back to to the pizza...I'm thinking smoked prosciutto, sautéed mushrooms in garlic and caramelized onions topped with edam and provolone. Add to that the ugly salad of mixed greens, chopped walnuts,red onion and mandarin oranges and lightly drizzled with sweet onion and lime dressing. DAMN, that sounds good! If I remember, I'll try to take a picture of said pizza...it's homemade kids,not some whack ass frozen* pizza.

Well...I hope you have a great Sunday,enjoy some secrets and relax this evening while Ricky Gervais tries to host the Hollywood Drunk Festival...aka the Golden Globes. Enjoy!

And to all my online friends I've had the pleasure of meeting through either CDAN or my blog...you ladies are some of the best friends a girl ever had! Thank you.

*except Dr. Oetker Ristorante...omg that is the bomb.
