As to the five guys point, I don’t consider five guys fast food. Fast food to me is defined by a drive-thru which no five guys I’ve seen has.

I stand by the sentiment at least that there is no good fast food burger in NoVA, though that was unclear in my original post.

Wow. Strong words. I half believe that I really offended you. I will strike the disparaging remark.

As Dave suggested, I don’t know which is more insulting, being called a Virginian, or being accused of endorsing the McDonald’s burger. Neither of which is true BTW. I refuse to be disparaged for a cheap narrative hook.

And I had even told you how much I enjoyed Sonic when I patronized one in Houston. I will now make it my personal mission to ensure that no Sonic is ever opened within 25 miles of your home. No matter what it takes…

1) Rob is not a Northern Virginian. People from Maryland might use McD's as the gold standard; in NVA it's Five Guys, which is our own homegrown burger chain. Please retract your zombie comment, or change it to reflect the fact that you are describing Marylanders. 2) Depending on what you consider NVA, you may have to change your assertions. I happen to know there are not one but two Sonics in the Winchester area, which is latitudinally North of Ashburn. Granted it's an hour east, but still, it is well above the Sweet Tea Line and therefore can only be considered Northern VA.

I think you can get decent hot dogs closer to home. And if you'd come to the Herndon Festival, I have a friend who's favorite thing about it is the burger on Texas Toast...
