at VGTG18, we should take a limo to the In N Out beside Excalibur... 4AM or nothing.
There is a new In N Out next to Linq

I've never tried 5 Guys. They just opened around here a few years ago but In-N-Out always gets my burger dollar... on the rare occasion that I actually order a burger or eat fast food.

My son has tried 5 Guys but they are far more expensive. He said the burger was decent but that In-N-Out is better.

We are limited in the UK with burger joints, only really have McDs and BK, but did you know a Big King costs us £2 while a Big Mac is £3. Usually McDs is much better value so I couldn't believe the price of this when I had one last week, tastes like a Big Mac as well, altho I do prefer a Whopper.

Wish In N Out would come to the UK properly.

Neil, same thing in Germany. Only really McD and BK. Quite annoying for myself having lived in America for so long.

On a different subject, have you been to Switzerland? Last month was wanting something quick for myself, my wife and her sister on a Sunday. We're talking like 2 burgers, 2 fries, 4 chicken nuggets and 2 drinks. it was 37CHF/30GBP. Insanity.

Same here mate.
But we have great local places for Dutch fries with our greasy snacks and large quantities of mayonnaise.

Switzerland is well known for this. A cup of coffee and a cake can be £10 a person easy.. going for a basic working lunch there is the same as going to a mid range restaurant elsewhere!

Kind of makes the proposed £1,600 / month living wage payouts for the unemployed they were considering seem pretty reasonable!!!

It really is nutty. Both my sister in laws live there.....it's mind boggling how much they pay compared to myself in Germany. Luckily they're at the border and hop over for groceries and other items periodically. I think min wage there is like $25/hr if I recall correctly? That's a large driving factor in why everything must be more expensive.

Prices are crazy high in Swi, but then you all love so well there.

I remember seeing a show that had a burger at the Chelsea Hotel I think for $5k.

Going to Holland and Belgium as a teenager did turn me around to putting mayo on chips, but you can't eat that way in public here!

Hahaha I feel I'm secretly judged always wanting tomato ketchup over mayo at Dutch fry stands. I guess it's the American in me.

I regularly eat a $16 burger at my local pub and it is well worth it.
