He was pumping out lots and lots of knives earlier in his career. Like he was a robot, instead of a one man operation. And kind of just took off from there.

see, now that's a good choil shot right there. no comment on the choil. i mean the shot is good.
could possibly benefit from more direct illumination of the choil, though.
My carbons would turn dark grey cutting everything including cases of pineapple.

I dislike bundles on BST, it's akin to Subway's long gone "$5 Foot Long" deal.

Hahahaha, ...I prefer a half a sandwich at Subway. Haven't been in years, might try a whole one since I probably eat more these days.
Slightly of topic—been meaning to try Jersey Mike's, my brother likes them.

Subway and Jersey Mikes are both garbage compared to a proper New Jersey sub.
Also I guess to stay on topic

Is that unpopular? I thought I was one of the few that didn't mind them.
Also I bought a bundle to get something I really wanted and it came with a Joel Black eel knife that it turns out I really like. It's like the world's shortest suji, of the fat-spined style.

New tried a proper New Jersey sub, ...added to list. Was tempted to try a Jersey MIke's my last time in Hawaii, but balked at the price, it was $19.60 for a California Club Sub!!! Passed on it and got a massive bowl of pho from the Vietnamese next door for a less money.

I like Five Guy's, never been to an In-Out.Also I guess to stay on topic
Five Guys > In-and-out
For burger chains, my fave is Shake Shack. Below is a Shake Shack in Singapore—needed a break from food hawker centres.
Comparing Five Guys to In-n-Out, is like comparing Outback Steakhouse to Arby's...

Fight me... Chickening out but point stands

No, never been, I'm rarely in midtown, except when visiting MTC—was in Singapore a month ago—in NYC I prefer to go to the Malaysian/Singaporean joints the Chinatowns/Malaysian neighborhoods.

My last burger at Five Guy's was a little sloppy, the bun a little too squishy, aluminum foil makes them a little soggy IMHO. Shake Shacks burgers are architecturally sounder.
That aluminum foil 5 guys uses is the worse idea ever
wait, which one is which?
i would consider outback to be much better, but i don't like either tbh.
i think in-n-out is better than 5guys, but i am biased because in-n-out doesn't exist where i live, so it feels exotic.
shake shack is for sure better than 5guys. between shake shack and in-n-out, idk. maybe in-n-out, but i've always been on vacation with friends and in a great mood when having it, so that colors my perception.
in-n-out > shake shack > culver's > 5 guys
maybe?
ps: weirdly, arby's is probably the only fast food chain that i have absolutely zero interest in. i don't get why anyone eats there. i guess the seasoned curly fries are ok, but no one goes just for fries lol. i'm no stranger to fast food, and i've eaten at arby's 2–3x total. it sucks even by fast food standards.
pps: the cool thing about culver's is the sandwiches have been buy one get one free for many years. wild that they haven't plugged that coupon leak.

No please, give my burger that AM/PM hot case consistency.
Richard & I tried out 5 guys we are both retired cooks. Not impressed at all esp. the burger overcooked dry falling apart.
Janice & I used to buy subway foot longs cut in half. In a cooler with potato salad.
At the beach at Kahala. Tasted good after swimming or snorkeling.
Keith's salmon burger with healthy ingredients & steak fries skin on.

I heard 5 guys made it big in Paris in the last year or two. Anyone from France around has a view?

I feel like I'm one of the few that has remained super disappointed in Jersey Mike's and never liked it, despite multiple chances in store as well as catering tries.
I put 5 guys in a slightly different tier than In-N-Out. Kinda like comparing Moe's to taco bell. 5 guys is solid if you want to feel bad after 2k calories, but too expensive and too greasy for me to go more than once a year, at best.
Whataburger > In-N-Out > Cookout though I freely acknowledge that Innie is markedly better in CA than TX, and it's a good value for what you pay. But a double whataburger with jalapeños and spicy ketchup just scratches that late-night drunk itch sooooo nicely.

The fact that I know what that consistency is is a never ending source of shame for me. Thanks for triggering me...
Absolutely love pirating NFL games and getting the Aussie commercials for Maca's
Whataburgers are in the South a regional enterprise.
But Innie moved into their home turf of Texas!

We have Five Guys and Shake Shack here now - Shake Shack is superior in basically every way.
