Five Guys, Five Stars

I talked about In-N-Out in a previous post and I wanted to make sure that I talked about Five Guys!!!
Five Guys does cost more than In-N-Out but it is equally AMAZING!

Fries
Fresh cut potatoes cooked in 100% peanut oil. You can choose from original or Cajan Style. We love the original and always order their small size because they overfill it and fries are always at the bottom of the bag. We love it! 

Milkshakes 
Their Vanilla milkshakes are so good too and can be topped with whipped cream and mixed with any of their mix-ins: bacon, bananas, cherries, chocolates, coffee, malted milk, Oreo cookie pieces, Oreo Cream, peanut butter, salted caramel or strawberries. 

My husband always orders the Bacon Cheeseburger and I get the Little Cheeseburger.

California Pizza Kitchen

California Pizza Kitchen is yet another place that is the bomb.com! I am a HUGE fan of this place and want to take my husband here this weekend for our date night! 

The first restaurant opened in Beverly Hills back in 1985 and "it gave California a place in the pizza pantheon alongside Chicago and New York."

Last time I went there we ordered The Avocado Club Egg Rolls, The Original BBQ Chicken Pizza and Pepperoni and for dessert we tried their Belgian Chocolate Souffle Cake. Everything single thing we ordered was DELICIOUS and UNFORGETTABLE. My absolute favorite was their Avocado Egg Rolls. I'm even drooling right now, thinking about them. 

Hand-wrapped crispy wonton rolls filled with avocado, chicken, tomato, Monterey Jack and Nuke's applewood smoked bacon. Served with housemate ranchero sauce and herb ranch.

Relationship tip: on this date ask a question like “What dream have you put on the back burner? Do you think it’ll stay there forever, or would you like to still live it out one day? How can I help?” This could be a great conversation starter and can help you learn more about each other dreams and goals.
