Still gotta go with one of my age-old favorites, Five Guys. Been going there for years (since there were only 3 of them). Happy that the local boys done good, but sad that the secret is out and mass-marketed now.

THANKS! I will let you know!

Try as I could, I just could not get into the classic red and white Betty Crocker cookbook in the kitchen. My first that I remember cooking a lot out of and loving was The Frugal Gourmet. I used to watch Jeff Smith on public tv as a kid (along with Julia Child, Martin Yan, and Justin Wilson), and he was nerdy but cooked some really good stuff.
