Quite.

Sounds pretty nasty... and very gracious of you to make no fuss...
Jalapenos would cover up a lot, though...  :)  I'd imagine that you'd
not order another burger there ever, though... ;)
 
 NB>> Ah.  Yes, the Five Guys burgers I've had were tolerable despite being
 NB>> thin and not rare... and I would eat there again.
 ML> So far I've had better luck at Five Guys than at most
 ML> chains - I think centrally mandated quality control has
 ML> something to do with it.

Could be.  It appears that there is a lot of interest at the top in
keeping quality high throughout the chain..  :)

 NB>>> Yes to the last... I've driven by a few times and they do still seem
 NB>>> to be in operation...  But not stopped by, so dunno if they got their
 NB>>> license yet, although I'd be quite surprised if they still hadn't.
 ML>> The fact they've survived seems to indicate that they
 ML>> probably have!
 NB>> True.  Or at least that enough people are willing to go just for the
 NB>> food without having alcohol available...
 ML> The Blue Water food was pretty good but rather salty and heavy.
 ML> I'd be more inclined to go back in the wintertime.

More things to try out, to be sure... ;)  It's a bit out of our usual
price range or even usual patterns.... but we'd go back.. :)  I suppose
that there well could be regular patrons there that don't find it as
salty or heavy, too...  :) 
 
 NB>> I was being just a little cynical, thinking about how actions other
 NB>> than tipping might factor in for the way one might be remembered... ;0
 ML> A little extra cash certainly affects the "tipping point."
 ML> And furthermore, were you meaning to cast aspersions on the
 ML> quality of the behavior to be expected from our august
 ML> membership? I mean, the capers that the rowdier members of
 ML> the military might be known for, can you imagine Hap or
 ML> Dave doing anything like that? ... Oh ... .

Who, me....?   (G)    Maybe only in their callow youth... (G)
