When we left California in 2002 and moved to Virginia, I had only one regret. This beautiful state of Virginia had No In-N-Out Burgers<\/a>! <\/p>\n

For four years I have tried to reconcile myself to the fact that the nearest In-N-Out Burger was more than 2600 miles away. <\/p>\n

Well, today I discovered Five Guys Burgers<\/a> on 880 University City Blvd in Blacksburg, VA.<\/p>\n

\nAfter stuffing myself with one of their bacon burger and fries, I no longer pine for In-N-Out Burger. I am ready to begin my new life in Floyd, VA, secure in the knowledge that comparable burgers are available only a few miles away from home.<\/p>\n

It’s really very simple, actually, Five Guys Burgers follows the same formula that has made In-N-Out Burger a cult favorite on the Wast Coast: <\/p>\n

\n

Bright, friendly employees cook fresh high quality beef before your eyes and serve French fries that come from potatoes peeled, cut, and expertly deep fat fried on the premises. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\"Potatoes\"<\/a>
\nThere are slight differences, of course. They put sacks of potatoes out where customers can see them, but you don’t have the French fry making show that In-N-Out puts on. Nonetheless, you will find  memorable french fries and fine burgers under this sign. \"Fiveguyssign\"<\/a>\n<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

So, if you are an expat from California, rest assured that you can
\nget something comparable to that ineffable In-N-Out experience
\nhere in Virginia. One visit to Five Guys Burgers will make you stop
\nyearning for California burgers.<\/p>\n
