I enjoy salted fries. 5 Guys is pretty heavy handed on the salt, similar to 70s McDonalds fries.

I've had some that have been way too salty, typically at fast food places. Plus, if you order them without salt, you know they are hot.

I guess if I knew they were heavy handed I would ask for light on the salt or just not order them. I don't ever order In&Out fries because they suck so I would do the same with 5 guys. I do love me some McD's fries.

I had a 6 regular entree family dinner for free at Pei Wei, by using their BOGOS coupon code, and 3 different Amex cards for their $10 each monthly free restaurant credit. Plus I earned a free award, too.
Beef and Broccoli, Chicken Lo Mein, Kung Pao Shrimp, Beef fried rice, Shrimp special, Thai Coconut Chicken and some egg rolls.

My go to's at Pei Wei are Mongolian Steak w/o the scallions with Noodles instead of Rice, Chicken Lettuce Wraps w/o the scallions, and the Crab Rangoons. My wife is into everything Chicken, and has a hard time choosing when we go.
She is odd that as an Filipino-Asian, she doesn't eat much rice anymore, so she has turned to lettuce as a side.
In the photos of Dairy Queen by Gaobest, did you mean to post the Blizzard upside-down like in their advertising, or is that a mistake? Also, why do they have barcodes on their freezers below the cups and cones?

We are in agreement on McD's and In&Out fries. I'm surprised people don't like the 5 Guys though. I prefer the McD's style - they're always crispy. But 5 Guys taste pretty good IMO. Just because I'm thinking about it, Wendy's and Burger King probably have the worst fries - although I may be forgetting one.

After cooking breakfast yesterday morning, I figured I was due for something healthier.
Cheerios with almond milk and sliced white flesh peaches
OJ
Toasted ciabatta bread with peanut butter
Iced coffee with stevia & chocolate almond milk
The peaches are sweet and ripe. I was told by the local produce cart guy that you buy cling peaches before Independence Day and after that, they are free stone. These separated easily from the pit.

I embellished the Gino’s East sausage pizza I bought through Goldbelly with red bell pepper, green onions, and flat leaf parsley for dinner last night and had a cold slice for breakfast. I forgot to take a photo of the frozen naked pizza.

Five Guys are certainly better than average IMO and one order easily feeds a family of four. Further, if you check the bottom of the bag, there are even more!

last year we borrowed a friends mini-fridge and returned it to them; their own garage is stuffed so we brought it to their rental building for mega convenience and then parked in their buildings driveway for our luncheon :-)

pancakes

Kale / quinoa salad with fried chicken
