I demand that they keep cows in the back, ready for slaughter and ground into delicious patties.

Its pretty simple actually. Wendy's cows are genetically modified for easy moving and storage. Hence the square patty. Like this, but in living cow form.

Last time I ate there I was vomiting within 6 hours. 24 hours of absolute death. Ugh, I think I'd Molotov cocktail the place if I was within visual distance.

Well that sucks I ate there for 3 years without a problem when I lived there. Though I must admit, they do handle money and then your food....

Now across the street there's the Cake Company. I got sick twice there before I stopped going.

My wife talked to the Five Guys guys at the parade - they're open next month.

My father-in-law is a burger afficiando (sp?) and raves about Five Guys.

Going to DC next week and we'll be trying the US version.

I tried Fat Burger a couple weeks ago (the one on 32nd). The food was OK but not good enough to justify the price.

Hmm, there's nothing on the menu that I could eat without giving myself a heart attack.

the tags from this are clearly talking about cheeburger cheeburger. I tried to eat the Pounder once at Sawgrass mills mall by the Florida Panthers arena...I've never felt more gross in my life.

Fat Burger is a huge waste of cash.

5 Guys has great burgers and fries - nothing is ever frozen and everything is super fresh. Plus you get all you can eat peanuts for free! Prices are reasonable. I've only ever tried it in the States but can't wait for them to come here.

OT but Peter's Drive In quality has REALLY diminished since it was sold. I used to go every couple of weeks and after every Flames game back in the day...Burgers are not the same tasting (still good, though) but the new fry boxes suck! Sorry for the rant...5 guys burger and fries is great!

Flames Five Guys Burgers and Fries
Hey guys a buddy of mine told me about this site and some of the chat about Five Guys Burgers coming to Calgary. We are dealing on 3 locations in calgary and hope to have the first location open in about 6 weeks. There will be another 4 locations in Van, lower mainland open in the next 90 days. I will keep posting to let people know where thing are at. Hope to see you all there for a great Burger.

^ Can you tell us where the location is that's opening in 6 weeks? I'm in an intense debate with some friends about where we think it'll go.
