I had to fly out of Reagan National Airport at a ridiculously early time on the day before Thanksgiving. Planning for horrible lines, I got there plenty early for the flight. So I got to my terminal at about 5:45 am. I was hungry for breakfast, so I checked the terminal for some eats.
They had Cinnabon serving cinnamon buns, Auntie Ann's serving breakfast pretzels, Gordon Biersch serving a breakfast menu, some sandwich place that just had croissants for breakfast, a pastry place, etc. But I kept walking, and around the corner was a new place. They have recently installed a Five Guys Famous Burgers & Fries in the airport! And it was open for breakfast!
They had a special "Breakfast" menu up next to their normal menu. It said "Breakfast served 5:00am-11:00am." The breakfast menu looked like this:
$2.25 Bacon
$1.95 Egg
$3.49 Bacon and Egg
$3.25 BLT*All sandwiches served on hamburger buns
*All sandwiches served with your choice of toppings (see hamburger menu)
*Add a hamburger patty to any breakfast sandwich for $1.00
When I got up to the register I asked whether their full menu was available. It was. So I got a Little Bacon Cheeseburger, Fries, and a Coke, all at 5:50am. Excellent. Another reason to love Five Guys!

Not sure if you know, but they have three (by my count) Five Guys now in the Tampa area. Rock. (The first Five Guys ever was about 5 miles from my high school, and we used to hang out there a lot, particularly when skipping 8th period, so it's good to see the local boys done good.)

That's awesome. I did not know that. Jeanette and I saw someone walking around in a Five Guys t-shirt, but we couldn't find the Five Guys. I never thought to look it up on their website until now. Turns out that one is in the Brandon mall! Oh, and Mike, I'll be home for Christmas, and we should hang out.

There is now a Five Guys in Nashville. While I've yet to eat there (or to eat at a Five Guys at all), I'm already pretty excited about its arrival, if only because you (and seemingly everyone who's ever eaten at one) talk it up so much.
