Dom Kennedy may have said it best,

“Check 1, Check 2, damn, I’m really makin’ moves/ Don’t nothin’ go better than a taco and a brew”

Homemade carnitas tacos, cold beer, new Dom Kennedy album.  Looks like it’s going to be a good summer in LA…

Eat Good. Stay Fresh.

This passed Friday, I went with CAPTAIN CRUNCH down to RIF, so he could pick up a check and drop off some more inventory. If you’ve never stepped foot in RIF, it’s like being a kid with a sweet tooth in a candy store. Even if you’re not hungry, you’ll find something you like. That’s how I felt when I came across these, “Supreme” Nike SB Dunk Low Pros. Priced at less than 1/2 of what most places are selling them for, I knew I how good of a deal it was.

On June 23, a food blogger in Taiwan was sentenced to 30 days in jail, along with 2 years probation and a fine of 200,000 New Taiwan Dollars, for writing a negative review of a restaurant in Taichung, Taiwan. It’s not uncommon to see libel charges against critics in the US. However, you rarely, if ever, see this harsh of a punishment. Could you imagine? Our jails would be filled with Yelpers. God bless Amerrica.

Finally! After years of searching through Corgishoe’s site on the daily, and seeing tons of shoes I want come and go, I decided to make my first official purchase.

Recently, I’ve been on a movie rampage at the theatres, watching everything from Hangover II and Pirates of the Caribbean to X-Men: First Class and hopefully, Super 8 this week. And of course, with movies comes the hot butter on what, the what, the popcorn (Although, I prefer Kettle Corn). I hope all of you are enjoying all of the Summer movies as I have, and even though it can be expensive, don’t be afraid to indulge at the concession stand. It’s all part of the experience. It wouldn’t be a trip to the movies without dropping a $20 on overpriced candy and soda.

FINALLY put Five Guys to the test!

To be honest, I actually enjoyed it. And I can see how people might compare it to In-N-Out, but truly, it just doesn’t match up.

Full breakdown after the jump.

I used the following criteria to rate Five Guys as fair as I could: Burger, Bun, Toppings, Fries, and Price.

The Burger - I’ll admit, I had no idea about the menu before coming in, so when I ordered a cheeseburger and opened up that foil gift wrapping to find a DOUBLE Cheeseburger, I was pleasantly surprised! The patties were decent in size and juicy.

The Bun - This is one of the things that caught me off guard. I really enjoyed the bun here. Soft, smooth, and melts in your mouth.

Toppings - Mayo, Relish, Lettuce, Pickles, Tomatoes, Grilled Onions, Grilled Mushrooms, Ketchup, Mustard, Jalapeno Peppers, and the list goes on. All FREE.

Fries - They serve a natural cut fry (with the skin on), which I’m not a huge fan of. However, They do get Bonus points for supplying FREE peanuts!

Price - This is what killed it for me. I ordered a Cheeseburger (Really a Double) with Regular Fries and a Drink and it cost me just under $12! If you’re an In-N-Out fan, you’re probably going nuts right now, I know I did when I paid for it. On a recent visit, I ordered a “Little” Cheeseburger (Single Patty) to help cut some of the cost down, and I felt like their just wasn’t enough burger for the bread+toppings, it’s not worth it unless you get the Double.

Overall, Five Guys makes a pretty good Double Cheeseburger, and if you don’t have an In-N-Out close by, it should suffice. However, if you’re not careful with what you order, a full lunch can hurt your pockets.

As I was getting ready to drop a release reminder for the “Banned” Air Jordan 1 the other night, I found out the lines at most Outlets were already 20+ deep. It was pointless. The madness had begun. I never would have imagined people would camp out at a Nike Outlet. Hopefully, everyone that wanted a pair to WEAR was able to pick them up. Now, somebody please sell me a size 10-10.5 for retail.

Happy Huntings.
