I eat like a bird all the time. My parents give me tons of shit for it when I'm home.

the only thing i know about grad schools right now is to stay away from arizona state, despite the hot chix

I just had a terrible experience at Five Guys. When I unwrapped my burger, there was what appeared to be a bite taken out. I sat there looking at it for three minutes thinking it couldn't possibly be that, but there was a small circular chunk out of the pattie and bun. So I go up and sheepishly tell them it looks like there's a bite out of my burger. She apologizes and tells me to keep it but they're going to make me a new burger. So after a bit, she brings out a new burger and another order of fries, even though I already had a shit ton of fries. I tried to eat the second burger, but I couldn't really enjoy it wondering if they had spit on this one. So I pretty much left full on fries, down nine bucks, tossing out a burger and a half and and order and a half of fries.

Me and a couple of friends are going to Five Guys tomorrow.

Nevertheless, it's entirely possible that they're cutting corners in some areas. Again, the coffee I had there wasn't great. Nor was the breakfast sandwich. So, maybe the quality issues aren't with the giant hunks of prosciutto or the fancy cheeses, but the prepared foods where they use lesser grade ingredients.

Maybe I like to delude myself, but I doubt they took the time to mess with your burger the 2nd time. Its just another burger they make along with everyone else's, right?

Besides, it's an open kitchen, you could have been watching him the whole time. No spitting occurred.

I may be evil but this did make me laugh. Maybe because I might have acted similarly but mostly because this is just funny.

I'd rather someone spit in my food though than get a big hair in it. The only time I ever got mad about restaurant food was when I was at the Outback in State College and I took a big bite out of my hamburger and I got more hair than hamburger. I about puked. I should have just to prove a point.

I'm laughing to myself just picturing Housh staring perplexed at his hamburger from various angles for three minutes.

I was watching something about Quantum Physics last week. I found it pretty interesting and I wanted to learn more. So I picked up a book called "The Quantum World: Quantum Physics for Everyone". Well, apparently "Everyone" is everyone with a degree in Physics. Ugh.

That makes it even better.

I used to think everyone really cared what non-food things were in their food and I was normal for looking over my food but I guess it might have been just me. I still can't get a fast food burger though without looking through thouroughly, though not quite three minutes.

I did send a drunkin email to I Can't believe it's not Butter one night about a freshly opened thing. It looked like there was a little a little worm in there. They were very kind about it and I got some free butter and a gift certificate.

that is sad about the cheese place. i like going there at the italian market. whenever i go i buy some sausage from the butcher on the corner and then some awesome raviolis from across the street.

I wonder what percent of posts in this thread are related to food. I would say about 28 percent.

Housh's story actually reminded me of something weird I witnessed at a Five Guys once. This mom and dad were there with their baby. They get their food, sit down, and the baby starts crying. They get all annoyed, get up and throw away all their food that they haven't even taken a single bite of and leave. It was very strange.

You've convinced me, torture should be legal.

I had a GREAT jr bacon cheeseburger on Saturday. The bacon was just right, the lettuce was crisp. Mmm.

once had gray hairs all over my burger when we went to wendy's around 12:50am. Haven't gone to that Wendy's since. luckily i always check my burgers

I don't really think anyone spit in it. I ate about half of it. It's just that my whole meal was already psychologically fucked, you know
