five guys, burgers & fLys.

Nothing has been attracting me to Galleria lately, but I decided to go and check out the newest food court addition: Five Guys Burgers and Fries.

www.fiveguys.com

Maybe it was the view of a family walking around the skating rink barefoot with their hands shoved into the community ice skates, but my appetite was not at its peak as I tried these five guys' fries. They were pretty good (tasted and presented like Mooyah fries) and for a size "small" the amount could have feed the hungry family of ice skaters, hopefully after washing their hands!

The menu is pretty limited to the burgers and fries, but I was surprised to not see milkshakes on the menu, as well. Instead of the sweet treat, they offer salty peanuts as you wait in line.

Basically, if you are already at the Galleria and want a prime spot to people watch...Five Guys Burgers and Fries would be a good place. If you are not at the Galleria and are happier knowing community ice skates are only worn on people's feet, you can skip it.

fall into fall.

The blazing heat may make it hard to believe, but the lazy days of summer are officially over! It is time to invest your time in long lines all in the hopes of trying the newest fried creation or a famous Fletcher's corndog. Hopefully you have not been watching NBC's Biggest Loser because that will take a lot of fun away from the fair experience!

This Friday, the 26th, the State Fair starts and will have me (and all Dallasites) praying for a cold front and calorie-free funnel cake.

For a list of all the great shows and events check out: http://www.bigtex.com/.

Dont forget that you can buy tickets in advance at Kroger--oh--and for the really hearty Dallasites, buy a season pass.
