5th Quadrant = pretty good.

If you’re into watching youtube videos that are a little gay, kind of disturbing, and also completely surreal, search for, “Ultimate Muscle Roller Legend.” All I have to say is that my previous link for Ejector with the techno and the two guys in latex skirts was incredibly tame compared to this thing that doesn’t make any sense at all. I got the link from Wired magazine, of all places. Weird, huh? If you just want to laugh at some German techno, look at this instead. While the first video might be kind of disturbing while you’re laughing your ass off, this second one just reminds me of watching late night TV in my tiny Japanese apartment after a night of drinking using the 12″ TV I found broken in the garbage and fixed.

So most of the burger club bailed on us today and it was just Jeff and I at 5th Quadrant getting a standard bacon cheddar cheese burger. It was a good standard burger. They overcooked it and it had a bit of an odd flavor combination between the overly peppered bacon and the slightly sweet charcoal grilled hamburger meat. I’d suggest not getting the bacon, as it actually detracted from the flavor of the hamburger. The bun was a lot nicer and fresher than what you’d expect from a sesame seed bun. Unfortunately, this is a burger that could use a little ketchup.

The fries were crispy with the skin left on and while I knew I should have ordered a salad, it was time to go whole hog tonight. The beer at the Lompoc pubs is pretty good as well and most days it’s discounted during their long happy hour.

Tonight’s burger was in a completely different class than the “fancy” hamburgers we’ve been having. I’d put it on a par with the burger we had at Red Star, but that was also overcooked and dry when I had it last. When Red Star cooks their burger medium rare, it’s an absolute delight.
