Any restaurant that has
over 250,000 possible ways to
eat a burger is worth trying.
The burgers are tasty, fresh,
and shockingly cheap at the
new Five Guys Burgers and
Fries that recently opened up
in the Willamette area of West
Linn. The restaurant was
voted the Reader's Choice #1
Hamburger from 1999 to 2008
by Washingtonian Magazine.
Upon walking into the
restaurant you immediately
realize that this is no ordinary
fast food burger joint. The
ambiance is one of excitement
and the people working there
give you the impression that
they love what they do: serve
you great food! The kitchen
is extremely well staffed
and even with huge lines of
people waiting, the food is
always made-to-order just
how you like it in less than
ten minutes.
Five Guys’ specialty is
burgers, of which you have
the option of a hamburger,
Employees prepare the hamburgers and fries that Five Guys is famous
for, while patrons place their orders. Five Guys recently opened off
the 10th Street exit in the Willamette area of West Linn. It has already
become a favorite with many students.

cheeseburger, bacon burger
or bacon cheeseburger, all
of which are available in the
"little" option. Now, here is
where the experienced burger
eater outsmarts the menu.
You see, a regular hamburger
comes with two patties,
whereas a little hamburger
comes with one patty. So if
you aren't looking for a huge
double cheeseburger, opt for
a little burger.
All burgers come with
the option of 16 different
toppings, all of which are
free. You will pay the same
price if you only slather
on ketchup and mustard,
or if you load up with
mayonnaise, grilled onions,
pickles, tomatoes, jalapeno
peppers, bar-B-Q sauce and
lettuce.

During third period when
your stomach is growling,
sometimes the only thing on
your mind is the quickest
place to buy lunch. With your
have an economics test right
after lunch does not help the
cravings go'away. To avoid
the lines and the time it takes
to get to the Taco Bell in Lake
Oswego, plan to go to the
Taco Bell in Clackamas. By
Ocean could be a good
change. The sushi is extremely
affordable with most rolls in
the $6-$15 range, a great price
for healthy, fresh sushi.
"Eleven a.m. is a little early
for lunch for me. Usually I am
w a lle t lo o k in g a little b a re
a v o id in g th e sp eed lim its

signs on the surface streets,
you can make it back in
plenty of time.
"Lunch is so short anyway,
it’s hard just getting the same
thing everyday. I pretty much
live at Subway for lunch,"
Summer Viet, sophomore,
said.
Since lunch is short and
there are limited options, it
is good to approach lunch
creatively. For those who
realize there is more to life
than burgers and fries, Sushi
something to tide me over
for the rest of the day," Revy
Nicholson, sophomore, said.
For the munchies, it can
be cheaper than a meal.
Hopping into a grocery store
and picking up a Power Bar
or a bag of small chips is
sometimes all you need.
Pizza is also a great way
to ease your hunger pains.
The quickest place to grab
pizza by the slice is Bellagios,
which offers a wide variety of
choices. If you call and order
ahead, it will be ready when
you arrive. A slice of pizza at
Bellagios is $4.75 including a
fountain drink.
To avoid growling
stomachs and empty wallets,
following this advice can help
you to make lunch a quicker
and more pleasant experience
for you and your friends—
that is, if you have a car.

these days, the quicker and
cheaper the better.
If the crowded lunch lines
at the beginning of lunch are
not for you, here are some
ways to avoid unneeded
grouchiness during your
lunch hour. The Five Dollar
Foot Long at Subway is not
the only good deal for a
nearby sandwich. The Singer
Café which is located in
downtown Oregon City, is
the best place to pick up a
turkey sandwich. The Turkey
Club on sourdough is only
$4.50, 50 cents cheaper than
Subway and featuring fresher
and healthier ingredients. The
Singer Café only took around
three minutes to make the
sandwich. With only a few
people in the café, it was a
great lunch experience.

The fries are also one of
a kind and a must if you
are trying the restaurant for
the first time. They were
voted Best French Fries
in 2008 by Capital Region
Living Magazine. Hot dogs
are offered in four different
styles: kosher, cheese, bacon
or bacon cheese. Veggie or
grilled cheese sandwiches are
also available upon request
for non meat eaters.
One significant feature
of the restaurant that could
really affect patrons is the
practice of shelling peanuts
and tossing the shells on the
floor. The shells are routinely
swept up, and this gives the
restaurant a casual feel, but
anyone with a peanut allergy
could really be affected, so if
this includes you, I’d suggest
staying away from Five Guys.
Five Guys wasn't
voted best bargain in 2000
through 2007 by Washington
Magazine for no reason.
Regular burgers cost $4.49,
little burgers cost $3.49,
cheeseburgers cost $5.09,
bacon cheeseburgers cost
$5.89, regular fries cost $2.79
and large fries cost $3.59.
The Five Guys menu is
noticeably simple, which
makes things easier on
patrons when deciding what
to order. According to www.
fiveguys.com, "(Five Guys)
follows the philosophy of
focusing on a few items, and
serving them to the best of
our ability."
With a menu so simple, yet
endless burger possibilities,
there is something for
everyone at Five Guys
Burgers and Fries.

Dare to dream and float up a
stream, but watch out for those
dragons, who ate Magnus and
spat him in various wagons.
Good thing he’s got a brother^
from another mother,
called Kendrick, and is
than St. Nick.
One day this man, sf
out of his van. Ready t<!

received from his boss!
He scouted the shoj
and saw some kj

And asked, "Yoijfkmoi

The kids said, ^ika^Lafidj he
commenced to sp^w H ^con-
tinued his spiel but there was no
deal. The kids left to get piñatas,
cuz they were the party startaz.
Kendrick was left on the street,
looking down at his feet. With
his suit jacket over his shoul
der, he tripped and fell over a
boulder. He laid and thought,
for he was distraught. He had
only sold two, he needed to sell
ten and this he knew.
So he decided to quit, and right
then he split. He took to the
streets and he heard some sick
beats. He decided to follow
and met up with a guy named
Apollo, who had just been fired
and didn't want to get rehired.
Kendrick made some rhymes,
about some random crimes.
They combined and their tal
ents intertwined.

After a slibwMRome, they ran
into a guy who looked like a
garden gnome. They talked for
a little while, until Kendrick
thought this guy was vile. So
they went to the next show in
France and went to a club to
dance. Afterwards they went
for something to eat, prefer
ably meat. They got tired and
sat on a bench when they smelt
an awful stench. They turned
around and...
Balthazar ate them. The end.
