Recent burger exploits and a tale of two cars.

I took Amy to this restaurant in Yellow Springs because we have always wanted to go there and we won't live here soon. It is a really cool looking place and very cozy.


Their burger=previously frozen=poop. The best part of this place was the exit. 'nuff said

Two doses of Five guys a while back. Same day...I was hungry.








Today I went out with my buddy Aaron. He took me to "The best burger in Cincy." they have awards for it and stuff. It is in a rich neighborhood in Cincy looking over the city.

Great view. except for that dude staring at me.

Great burger. I know I have only ate burgers in two place in Cincy, five guys and City view, (not counting Whitecastle after a Pantera concert one time) But, MAN ALIVE this has to be the best in this area.They have a secret seasoning or rub or something they fry it in that is UNBELIEVABLE! Very savory and juicy. The burger was cook medium rare and even the lettuce a tomato tasted good. Quite possibly the best burger I have ever had. Definitely a top 5.

Then we went to Five Guys on Calhoun Street:
As always, very good. The guy that cooked mine threw some fries on it for me w/o having me pay for an order. Very nice. We definitely had a great time. I think we are both feeling a little sick. I could not get rumors of a Beavercreek store confirmed or denied. They just said that it was not their market so they did not know. I think i need to take a trip out there cause I have heard there are already signs.
Also...
I recently acquired the Benz pictured below on an even trade for my motorcycle. ($700 is all I had in it) With Winter coming on, and me going to OU, I needed something that held to the road better.
1976 MB 300D Diesel engine. Pretty sweet! Except it is a heap and all kinds of problems associated with a 33 year old car. i put it up on craigslist.
That is when I got an offer to trade it for this beauty:
1985 VW Vanagon. Better shape, less miles and it also qualifies as Graduate student housing in the event I am unable to sell the house before school starts. The kid that wanted the Benz was so pumped that he looked past the fact that after I took it to his house, the key got stuck in the ignition and it would not start back up. I gave him $90 for a new ignition and then we swapped.

So that is about all that is news in burgers and cars on this front. What's up with you?
