Oh no, you discovered Five Guys! Despite the grease, it's really good, isn't it. The up side is (we watched a whole documentary on that joint) they use fresh food every day. No frozen meat, fresh cut potatoes, etc. So if I'm going to eat "fast food" it may as well be fresh! :)
I loved it! but the portion sizes were lots different than I expected. the way they asked if we wanted fries and a drink, it sounded like a combo meal...turned out all four of us basically could have shared ONE order of fries, maybe two--definitely did not need three!
and I figured the burgers would be huge at a place like that...but one single-patty burger definitely wasn't big enough for hungry pregnant mama to share with toddler-who-loves-burgers :P
Are you finding out if you're having a boy or a girl? And when are you due again? :) Your folks are from Ohio, right? So are mine. Lots of questions this week!
hey Anna - due in early/mid October. we know the gender, but no one else does. and yes, my parents (and in-laws) are in NW Ohio. you're more southern OH, right?
I've been meaning to post u/s pics but can't get my scanner working. we got a 3D one that's much clearer than any of Elijah's pics :)
I'm actually from midwest Ohio. About an hour south of Toledo. :)
