Burgers and Fries


Last weekend we stopped by the new In 'N' Out burger place in Orem. We needed to see what all the fuss was about and why the long lines of cars at the drive thru.
Our assessment:
burgers - were just ok, loved the big slice of tomato and leaf of lettuce. Like toasted buns.
fries - kind of dry and very short!

Then we decided to leave the rest of the fries and stop in at the third!! new burger place within a 1/2 mile of In 'N' Out and Five guys -- it's called Smash Burger.

Our assessment:
Nicer booths, decos, more upscale. Pricier burgers.
burgers - very juicy and VERY salty. tomato and lettuce ok - not as thick as In 'N' Out
fries - longer, and not quite as dry as In 'N' Out. option of rosemary and olive oil fries!

I think the Five guys fries win. Have you seen the grease on their bag of fries?

But I will go back and try a few different items at Smash Burger - maybe the smash chicken burger!

I do remember my favorite burger this summer was had at the little tiny burger place in downtown Provo -Sammy's. Delicious - only the bun needed to be toasted!

And there is one more joint in downtown Provo to try - Stumpy's!
