I like to season with just S&P while grilling the burgers.
I don't quite understand this concept. I've never heard of such a thing. Are there stores where you have to pay just to go inside, or you're obligated to purchase something to be inside? I can fully understand why some people are confused.The effect of this is that American tourists sometime feel no need to learn anything about where they are going. This leads to some unfortunate misperceptions. The American is accustomed to wandering through shops "just looking." They had no idea that "just looking" was not done eerywhere. So they are oblivious to the posting of an ENTRE LIBRE notice when a French shop invites lookers. Nor are they accustomed to greeting the owner or staff in a shop. So the tourist enters a non-ENTRE LIBRE shop, failing to acknowledge the shopkeeper, and when asked, announces, "Just looking." The shopkeeper's nose is now out of joint. The tourist then perceives French shopkeepers as rude. The shopkeeper perceives the American as deliberately rude.
That reminds me, after discussing Five Guys Hamburger and Fries here in the forum, I had resolved to try them out and I did so last night.Five Guys was pretty good in Mpls!

It was one of the worst hamburger places I've ever been! They had horribly loud music and all the customers were talking loud to be heard over the music. The ambiance made McDonald's look good.
I ordered a regular hamburger (which is a double patty) with "all the way" option, and Cajun fries. The hamburger was served wrapped in aluminum foil and I shortly discovered why. The thing was so wet that it disintegrated as I ate it, and eventually I wished I had a fork. The patties weren't particularly tasty and they were over-cooked and tough. The amount of lettuce was meager.
The fries were a disaster of another kind, all limp and undercooked, not a single crispy one in the lot. They were so over salted that I could eat only part of the serving. The only good thing I have to say is that a regular serving size (not large) was very ample, more than I would have eaten even if they were properly cooked and not massively over-salted.
Out of 5 stars I award Five Guys two negative stars. I wouldn't eat there again if the food was free.
