5 Guys Burgers and Fries
Bacon Cheeseburger and Cajun Fries I have to admit; Five Guys Burgers and Fries is a cool name. I like saying the whole name while most people shorten it to Five Guys; it’s a nice little rhyme. Anyway, Five Guys Burgers and Fries is a fast food restaurant that mainly serves hamburgers, hot dogs, and French fries. They have 1,000 stores and service eight different countries! I have only been to or seen one of their restaurants, and this is my first time eating there. (Where have I been?) I ordered a bacon cheeseburger with Cajun fries and a Coke. Let’s start with the burger. The burger was hefty toting two thick meat patties, plenty of melted American cheese which I loved, nicely grilled diced onions, perfectly cooked crispy bacon, and an excellent tangy barbecue sauce. All of the things on the burger tasted well together, but I wished the meat patties were seasoned a little more. Now for the Cajun fries. They were crispy on the outside and perfected on the inside. The Cajun coating was a dry seasoning that covered the fries after cooking, and they were so good! These spuds boasted lots of flavor with just the right amount of heat. You know how you frantically search the bottom of the bag for stray fries that may be left over? Yeah. That’s how I was after my fry cup was empty. Oh; and they wrapped the burger in a square piece of aluminum foil, and the fries served in a paper cup which I appreciated. It gave me the feeling like it came from an old-school burger joint.

Meal Delivery Service Contigo’s spill-proof water bottle, Shipt grocery delivery, and Home Chef meal delivery services (just to name a few) are things that my husband recommended to me; all of which I denied for one reason or another. Confusion controlled my voice as I questioned, “twenty dollars for a water bottle?” I quickly took my statement back when I saw what twenty dollars-worth of a water bottle is capable of doing. Home Chef meal delivery started off for me as a way to make different meals for the family; with my dinner table serving no less than six people, I knew their four serving limit per meal wouldn’t suffice. But then, I thought maybe I could order for just me and the mister. Maybe I could get meal delivery service just for us; a special homemade dinner and a movie sounds good to me! What if the food isn’t fresh? What if it takes too long in shipping? It could go rotten before it gets to me. Will they put enough of each ingredient? I thought of the things that could go wrong. So I waited and researched. I thought, waited, and researched some more. After finding a thirty dollar off coupon, I decided to give it a try; you can’t beat three full meals for two for under thirty dollars. I am so glad I decided to try Home Chef! When I placed my order, they shipped my box out in the next week. I received my box two days after it shipped. I have to admit I was leery about the food being in transit for two days. When I received my box everything was packed very well with plenty of insulators, bubble wrap, and reusable ice packs (yes my husband uses them in his lunch box). Every meal was separated, labeled, and portioned out perfectly making it impossible to mix up. They included full sheet sized recipe cards with detailed instructions, which I expected, but they also added a three-ring binder for me to keep them in; shut the front door! Their instructions are easy to follow, and the step-by-step pictures help keep you on the right track. The ingredients were fresh, high quality, and perfectly measured, so there was no waste. The meals I ordered in my first box were sweet chili garlic shrimp, Koren pork tacos, and classic chicken piccata. Looking back on all of the things I questioned about Home Chef, I’m glad I was wrong. I have absolutely nothing negative to say about Home Chef. Even their app is attractive and easy to use! Home Chef is a winner. All the way around they are one meal delivery service that has my vote! Go on! Give them a try. You won’t be disappointed. Oh, and here are a few tips:
