Restaurant Review: 5 Guys

Everyone who has been to California or Vegas should have tried In-N-Out. If not, you haven't lived. The same goes with going back east. If you've been back east, you should have tried 5 Guys.
5 Guys is the east version of In-N-Out that is now in Utah. They opened their first store in Fort Union this past Monday, so naturally, Rachel and I went. We had both tried it when we went to Baltimore last summer.
They are like In-N-Out but they have a little more options. They have kept it down to basically hamburgers and hot dogs, but they have more choices of toppings. (Refer to the below picture)
Overall, if I want a good burger and In-N-Out isn't around, 5 Guys is my choice. It's awesome.

Movie Review: The Incredible Hulk

This last weekend Rachel and I went and saw The Incredible Hulk. It seems like the super-hero industry is realizing what it takes to make a good movie, because the last two that I've seen has been fantastic (Ironman and Incredible Hulk). First off, their was a lot of speculation of this movie because the first Hulk that came out in 2003 was disastrous. In fact, the slim movies I actually turned off before it was over was Daredevil and Hulk. Now this version of Hulk is similar to what Batman Begins did to the Batman movies. This Hulk is a restart of the franchise. It starts off fast. Bruce Banner transforms into Hulk within the first 5 minutes. And throughout the entire movie there really wasn't any slow boring parts. The acting was fantastic. I have always been a fan of Edward Norton and he did a stellar job. And because my mind is wandering I'll finish the review. The final fight scene is awesome. And overall if Ironman was a 10, The Incredible Hulk is a 9. Go see it.

Chicago

Last weekend Rachel and I went to Chicago for my work seminar. We went a couple of days early to see the sights. To list the top things we did
  • Went on top of Sears Tower

  • Went and saw the musical Wicked

  • Went to a White Sox game (fantastic firework show after)

  • Went to the Second City comedy club. (That is basically where most people from SNL go their start along with comedy geniuses Stephen Colbert and Steve Carell.)
