We have a local ice cream parlor that has a small restaurant in the back, and everything is cooked to order AND the oil is at the proper temp to keep the fries from absorbing too much of it. The burger is not juicy (fatty) but it's still very good and freshly prepared.

If you can believe it, I tried In and Out in Vegas and walked away totally unimpressed. Five Guys is far better.
Not only do I believe you, but I agree with you.
