    The irony? It's not the saturated fat that kills you - it's the carbs that come with that meal.

    I live right by there, and will definitely be checking that place out. Isn't it just like a Hardee's?

    Also, were there any deals at the Circuit City? I went by there a couple of weeks ago, and the deals were pretty lame (10% off).

    Exactly my point - no matter where you go, be it Red Robin or Five Guys, you're going to end up paying $8 for a burger that ruins pretty much anybody's nutritional values for that day.

    I personally don't give a flying flip. :D

    The place on Burnet owned by Amy's? They are pretty good...but Mighty Fine blows them away.

    Phil's buns are just too sweet for me.

    What do you expect on campus? Give it time. I'm sure one will pop up.

    I've heard that the A1 Thick and Hearty Burger is back. I'm going to tear into one of those when I get into Austin next week.

    It's not bad. There's a lot of good burger joints within a mile or so of Barton Springs and Lamar:

    Sandy's
    Whataburger
    Shady Grove
    P Terry's
