Hey geo1004, I went with my son to Five Guys in Arlington this wknd and it *is* very, very good. We liked it as much as Fatburger.
But Fatburger *is* very good and there are lots of locations in LA. Santa Monica has all those fabulous restaurants on Montana, and the third street mall of course. For a cheap but great seafood place, Reel Inn has been good. Bombay Cafe is good Indian food in Santa Monica. Ahhh, all the restaurants, my mind always turns to food in LA!
