An Attempt at Peter Mayle (probably unsuccessful)

We are fortunate enough to have one of the greatest food establishments that the East coast has to offer within two minutes by car from campus. The Zagat rated, “Willy Wonka of Burgers” better known as Five Guys is the Mecca of burger lovers like myself. It is easily one of the most popular destinations to eat off-campus for students. With their seemingly unending menu of toppings, the burgers are entirely customizable. Nothing quite equals the sensation of biting into a burger wedded to a collage of flavors (I’m looking at you Kaveh). Not even the Blue Talon eggy burger (you know the one) replicates this unique gastronomic experience. Personally, I order a bacon cheeseburger (that means two patties) with onions, lettuce, sautéed mushrooms, and barbecue sauce. Though lately I’ve been considering trying a burger with everything on it (still looking at you Kaveh). If I’m feeling particularly ambitious (or hungry) I’ll get an order of Cajun fries as well. It is a Five Guys practice to fill a cup with fries, put the cup in a bag, then fill the bag with more fries under which your burger and maybe a napkin are buried. It is excess at its best.

After enjoying this meal of champions with equally savory company, I’d suggest going to see this summer’s greatest blockbuster, Christopher Nolan’s Inception. It’s a high concept thriller that keeps your attention in it’s clutches even after leaving the movie theater. I’m not a film critic so I wont even attempt to review the movie, but take my word that it is up there with The Dark Knight. Fortunately, mere footsteps away from Five Guys is Williamsburg’s Movie Tavern where matinee tickets are just $6!

So there you have it. A delicious meal followed by a captivating movie. Just beware of the itis…
