Five guys is indeed overrated but he didn't claim it was underrated or properly rated, he just said it was better than shake shack, and it is. It's also a LOT better than in and out.
average hamburger > five guys >>> shake shack >> wendy's > mcdonalds >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> in and out

I like potato buns, and shack sauce is better than most "spreads". And going beyond the burger, Shack has a great chicken sandwich too.Fuddruckers > Culver's > In-N-Out > Wendy's = Shake shack > Smashburger > Five Guys >>>>>>>> McDonald's

A question regarding food available in the two SC's. It used to be that T3 had more or less take-out, convenience items only, such as sandwiches. Good if you have to grab and run and unable to spare the the time for the more civilized offerings in T2. Has T3 now rid itself of those fast options? Thanks for any updates.

Yes, those are gone. That was only for the first few months or maybe even less. I assume they needed to set up some type of new kitchen facility or figure out a way to get food regularly moved over from T2.

I flew to/from T3 this week. All I can say, is that DL definitely got the short end of the stick by moving out of T5/6 for the dump that is T2/3. I was really disappointed. The piers reminded me of JFK's T2 which is also a total dump. I hope these renovations make a major impact. The whole LAX airport in current state is an embarrassment. It's worse than a 3rd World country trying to get in and out of there via taxi/bus/shuttle. They should level it and make parallel concourses.

Per LAWA's own estimates, there is already existing demand at peak times for the 27 gates that T3/T2 will have once construction is completed. LAWA was very clear in the Final EIR that it did it did not "give" Delta gates so that it could dramatically increase its operations. (See the Final EIR for confirmation.)

LAWA decided to reimburse Delta in cash. When the project is complete, LAWA will increase the terminal rates and other charges for T2 and T3 to recover the improvement costs over the lease term. (See the latest Annual Report for confirmation.)
