Hey All,

Checking in for the 1st time in a while. Big thanks to the Angry Fat Guy for keeping the content afloat!

July was a busy month, made a few trips to the Vineyard. Had myself a hell of a July 3rd party! Enjoyed July 4th at the Boston Harbor Yacht Club. Spent a bunch of time with my wife and the boys…. oh yeah and worked some.

Our man BostonBert was recently engaged! Congrats to him! He is big, beautiful and off the market…. sorry ladies. More to follow from him on that.

Let’s see, went deep sea fishing with The Captain and caught some Cod. We also checked out AC/DC and made a pilgrimage to Wholly Cannoli. All I can say is Dynamite Stick! Check them out here: http://www.whollycannoli.com

The stats for July are in and our visitor count is down but Paris France is still our #1 city (19%)! We’d also like to thank Gary T for checking in and giving us a “Shout Out” at a recent corporate meeting.

We have been using the Twitter quite a bit so check out http://twitter.com/hotfatguys

So, I hope all is well with everyone and per usual here is some pretty good content:

This is a Southwest Airlines commercial, the ad itself isn’t funny but the “tagline” at the end sure as hell is!

Sonic is coming to Massachusetts, Sonic is coming to Massachusetts, Sonic is coming to Massachusetts, Sonic is coming to Massachusetts!!!

My father in law is always talking about this place. He worked for the highway department for 247 years and recently retired.

When you are a boss for the MA highway department you spend a decent amount of time…. on the highway. So he knows more local places to eat than anyone.

So as we we’re on our way back from the Cape (coming up 495 to 24) I thought of one thing…

Dave’s Diner…

It’s a solid 25 minute ride from my house and I’m fat & lazy so when I realized we had to drive right by it I was psyched.

HotFatGuys back to the 50's

It’s not more than 5 minutes off the highway which is very convenient. Once you look at this place you know it has good food, old school 50’s diner. The reason it looks so authentic is because well…. it is.

10+ years later it ’s menu boasts a number of great burgers and sandwichs along with a “legit” 50’s style dessert case. More to come on that.

I went with the “Hot Rod Lincoln”, complete with Cajun Seasoning, Mushrooms & Mozzarella (8oz of course). We also got a basket of “Daddy O’s” onion rings (it came with fries).  The burger was good although it could have used a but more seasoning, rings were good as well.

 I must admit though that I was pretty fixated on either the dessert case or  a milk shake. I ordered a black  & white shake and a not-so-quick trip to the bathroom revealed two things:

1) I think I’m going to have a baby in this bathroom, my colon and I are certainly fighting.

2) Ted Williams has “Moxie”, which is (for the record) the worst soda ever.

When I came out my milkshake was waiting for me and it was amazing, best I’ve had in a while.

As a whole It was pretty reasonably priced, $6-$9 range for a burger. The waitress was also very pleasant and the food came out pretty quick.

One quick side note : My wife got the chicken parm sandwich and it was REALLY good, HUGE piece of chicken.

One other surprise was the ample amount of “Gut Room” in the booth. Most Diner booths are not HotFatGuy friendly but this one definetley was. All in all, we would highly recommend it.

The ultimate HotFatGuy breakfast has been unleashed on the world. That is correct folks….

The Buffalo Chicken Omlette.

I, like all HotFatGuys tak a particular pride in eating breakfast. It’s my favorite meal, particulary after a hard night of boozing.

So when I travelled to Cape Cod, MA with my wife to hang out with some friends for the last few days I new that I would be doing to things;

1) Trying to drown myself in Coors Light.

2) Searching for a little towny breakfeast joint the next day.

We arrived Sunday evening, and after polishing of a 40oz of Miller High Life just for laughs it was off to the races. Here are three highlights:

1) Trying to convince the owner of the house (with the support of 2 girls at the party) we were staying at to allow us to build a cheerleading pyramid on the front lawn at  3:00AM.

2) During a beer pong game one girl farted and it smelled so bad that her female partner went into the bathroom and puked. (This really happend).

3) Convincing 3 girls that have never shotguned a beer before that it was a good idea (one of them almost beat me).

So as you can see it was a wild weekend and consequentley we needed delicious breakfast now more than ever.

The 7 of us were finally dressed and ready to eat teh next day around 1:05 PM , and we set out to our destination… Grumpy’s Restaurant. Thankfully they are open until 2, we arrived and we’re seated when I heard my wife say….

“They have a Buffalo Chicken Omlette”

A quick check of the chalkboard with the special on it revealed that yes, they certainly do.

Our waitress takes our order, her name had to be Mildred or Ethel… she was very nice. My order;

Buffalo Chicken Omlette, White Toast, “Would you like to add homefries for .99?” …

Of Course…Side of Home Made Corn Beef Hash & in true HotFatGuy fashion … a Diet Coke!

It arrived and the skinny people at the table looked at me in disgust.

It was phenominal, nice white chunks of chicken, good Buffalo sauce, Blue Cheese. The home made hash was great as well. When teh bill came 7 of us had breakfast for under $100 with tip, pretty reasonably priced.

I do have to remind you that it was on teh “Specials” chalk board so I’m not sure if they have it all the time,.

The HotFatGuys still reccomend this place highly though, it also has won the Best Breakfast Award 3 years in a row from Cape Cod Readers Choice.

Man, this writing about food makes me hungry… I’m so fat.

If you haven’t had the pleaseure of visiting Patriot Place in Foxboro, MA … you are missing out. The layout leaves a bit to be desired but it is a HotFatGuys playground.

They are still opening bars and restaurants but the current tally according to the website is 14, that’s right 14 place to stuff your face. Over the next several weeks and months we will be attempting to eat at every establishment there and report those findings on these pages.

We do this all for you…. I swear. So let’s dive right in shall we:

The first place on our list to review is “5 Guys Burgers and Fires“. They have 300 + locations in 25 states so even if you aren’t a Massachusetts native, you can still get to one. They started in Arlingon, VA in 1986 and have a cult following in the DC area.

There menu is basic but offers some variety, if your not a burger fan they offer a veggie burger & a grilled cheese. The layout is a 50’s style diner theme (red & white) similar to IN-N-OUT Burger for you west coast people.

Five Guys Burgers and Fries menu.

The regular burgers are a double patties and the little burgers are single patties with 16 different topping options. The fries are 2 sizes, small & large but they fill a small metal tray with extra fries and dump it in the bag regardless of what size you get. Top it all off with a fountain soda and free refills and you are ready to party.

We are in fact, HotFatGuys so when we order it is always a two burger affair.  Here is the rundown of what this HotFatGuy had:

Burger #1 Bacon Cheeseburger with Ketchup, Mustard, Pickles & Grilled Onions. Amazing… great burger.

Burger #2 Little Cheeseburger with BBQ Sauce & Hot Sauce. Decent, a little too much hot sauce.

Large FriesFresh from the frialator, cooked in 100% Peanut Oil with Potatoes from Rigby Idaho, excellent.

Wash it all down with a few refills of Barq and feel the “Itis” wash over me.

Paid $16 and change for it all which is a bit pricey but I won’t have to eat again for at least… I don’t know….

2 hours?
