POTUS Goes Out to Lunch at Five Guys

[alsame]

I just saw the end of the video on CSPAN - I think it was called "Five Guys", looked like a burger place.

I hope they run the clip again!!

1. He's eating and not working? The gall of him!

j/k

18. Delicious....

just don't go in there if you are allergic to peanuts! They've got bulk peanuts served in there, with the shells usually covering the floor. Kind of like Texas Roadhouse (another one of my favorites!)

[alsame]

20. It looked like the Prez was eating some as he walked around

talking to people. I couldn't figure out what he kept popping into his mouth, LOL.

[question everything]

45. There was a restaurant in Chicago's Hyde Park, in the 70s with the same

"decor." Really strange when you first enter the place and you are stepping on peanuts shells.

31. Speaking of Gall

He ain't gonna have one (bladder that is) if he keeps eating at those burger joints..

Don't mind me, had mine removed and I'm jealous as hell, can't even Look at a piece of cheese now.. :)

Maybe he could do a Veg restaurant sometime, naw, that'd be UnAmerican..

[babylonsister]

39. You can't eat

meat or cheese any longer? Are there lots of dietary restrictions, or is this just while you heal?

Glad to see you here, symbolman. I read about your surgery, and hope you are doing well. :hi:

[symbolman]

44. Some are okay, Definately no Beef tho

No milk, ice cream, little chocolate.. I can eat chicken all day with no skin, slight traces of butter, granola fine.. At this stage it's nothing that totals more than 15% fat content per serving.. Guess I'll make it to over a hundred at this rate, but I won't like it :)

Met a fellow bladder challenged nurse the other day and she told me it will all level out over 6 months to a year, except next time the stones are nearly IN the liver, and they take them out thru the Throat!! Ahhhh! So no Cheese Please :)

Thanks for thinking of me, I always enjoy your posts!

24. My wife and I ate at the Five Guys in Bethany Beach last Saturday

It's simple and the food is great!

[CBR]

26. It is a Friday ritual at my house. They are popping up all over

Northern Delaware. Cheeseburger with lettuce, mustard, ketchup, onions and jalapenos is the way to go!

[question everything]

46. Only last week the local food critic preferred Smashburger

over Five Guys. Now they will have the last laugh, framing not a local food review but the best review of them all.

3. Michelle likes to go to Five Guys

Let us know if they are showing it again.

[alsame]

4. Will do. Gibbs is coming on any minute now, so maybe they'll

show the clip again after the briefing.

[dancingme]

5. He should be clearing brush on his free time

how dare he mingle with city folks.

[8 track mind]

32. lol!

7. Yesterday some DU'ers told us Obama was in the bubble and out of touch

because he didn't know what specific promise the protestors were imploring him to keep.

[liberal N proud]

8. I love Five Guys

Burgers and Fries. Burgers done to order as you like.

The fill the cup with fries, put it in your bag and dump more fries in you bag on top of that. 3X more fries than I can ever eat.

Price is moderate as well.

11. Michelle went there recently. The Five Guys by me had the article posted :)

I go there WAY too much! It's pretty awesome. Unhealthy, sure, but great.

[high density]

12. "POTUS Out to Lunch again"

I have to say I figured this would be another thread slamming him on gay marriage, torture, or some other recent outrage. It's nice to have a pleasant surprise from time to time.

[alsame]

21. Wow, I didn't even think about that. I just changed the title - thanks! n/t

13. 5 Guys is a burger place

16. Here's 5 Guys Nutritional Chart (Hope the POTUS watches his fat intake)

Yes I know he's thin and athletic but we need his arteries to stay healthy as well!

[alsame]

23. Nope. Mustard again. n/t

27. OMG!!!!!!!!!

28. Does Five Guys treat its employees right?

I ask for informational purposes. The "Five Guys" near me in Orlando was once a chain called Johnny Rocket's. An imitation 50's hamburger joint.

I found out from a waitress who held down three jobs, one of them there (as Bush says, "that's America for you," may he burn in Hell) that these guys shortchanged her on one paycheck and then skipped a payroll check for everyone there.

I wonder if these Five Guys people - assuming they are a chain - act any better to their employees.

30. I love Five Guys

I'll have to go eat there tonight. I got a gift certificate to there for Mother's Day. Definitely not for those trying to watch the calories.

[Clio the Leo]

33. I've eaten at the one here....

.... not the best I've had. But I think the Chili burger was a mistake because I dont like my bun to get soggy. :)

[Clio the Leo]

34. Dont you hate when you're standing in line and some goob....

... wants to make conversation? :)

[alsame]

41. Especially when they've got

a camera crew with them and I'm having a bad hair day. :rofl:

[Catherine Vincent]

35. Looks like he went out to lunch WITH 25 Guys!

:)

[yodermon]

36. i have yet to eat at 5 Guys... they have peanuts all over the place

kid has a peanut allergy :( :(

[onenote]

37. the first five guys opened in the mid-1980s not far from where I live in Northern VA

They only had a handful of northern va locations until a few years ago when they decided to expand. Now they've got more than 300 locations. I was shocked to see one in Oconomowoc Wisconsin last winter!

Tasty.

[MadBadger]

40. They opened one in Madison last year.

[elleng]

38. No No, he's WORKING, and NOT eating!

He's merely skin and bones!

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

42. The POTUS sure does love his burgers. Five Guys is a popular burger franchise here in the D.C. area!

Wonder which one he was at? There are several in Downtown D.C.

[old mark]

43. "Five Guys Burgers and Fries" - one just opened nearby.....

I love good burgers.
