sunny weekend in pittsburgh

A beautiful weekend in Pittsburgh. Decided to go out and enjoy the nice sunny weather. But first off, we ate five guys for lunch. Five Guys as in Five-Guys-the-burger-place, and not 5 guys as in 5 physical guys. Free flow of drinks... free flow of peanuts... lots of fries... nice burgers and hot dogs. Btw, Obama ate Five Guys for lunch too. Don't play play with him.... he sure has big appetite.


This is how much love people have for five guys...


And did I mention free flow of peanuts?


Then we went to a nearby park to get rid of some calories from lunch...



A pretty nice place and day to take photos... In fact, we saw 3 couples taking their wedding photos at the park (separately - no group shots).


Just before heading home, we decided we should retrieve some of the calories that we got rid off.... ICE CREAM....

(Charis was wondering how many more shots of the ice cream we were going to take before she could attack it....)

Kailin, come lah... I bring you to more ice cream parlours. Like Dave and Andy's, Bruster's, Ben and Jerry's (ok, we have that it Sg). But don't expect swensen's ;p

Amelia, they have sacks of peanuts in the restaurant, and we thought maybe they use some to get peanut oil for their fries; and then give the rest away instead of storing them.

But after some research, we found the answer...

Q: If so many people are allergic to peanuts, why does Five Guys continue to offer them?

A: Over the past 20 years, peanuts have become part of the Five Guys identity. We by no means want to exclude guests from our store, but at the same time we would not want to disappoint our peanut eating guests. We make sure that we have signage on our doors and in our restaurants about the fact that we serve peanuts in bulk containers as we would never want someone to risk their health by coming into our restaurants.

Our pittsburgh neighbors highly recommend 5 Guys for best burgers in town...
