Well the beer was good, and the food was great… No one was disappointed with their choice…
The fish and chips are awesome…

The resturant name is actually the Market Street Pub (Public House) on the corner of Market and Second in downtown Denton Maryland…

This is a yurngling that I am drinking at the public house here in Denton Maryland…
Waiting on the food, service seems pretty good, prices under $10 per, now we just need to see how it tastes, I ordered the famous fish and chips.,.

I am wondering when…

I quit smoking about 8 months ago, and started exercising more (a lot more), and eating better (not good, but better), what I am wondering is when do I start feeling better… Where is all this energy that everyone tells me I am supposed to have now with this healthier lifestyle.

I do pretty good in the mornings, but come 2 or 3 in the afternoon, I feel like I am in total carb crash mode, and this happens regardless of how much or little or what I eat. 

To be totally honest, I feel about the same as when I smoked, except for the fact that my sense of smell has gone through the roof. I can smell cigarette smoke, from a car driving by with the windows rolled up. 

I just hope it is related to the smoke from the fires, it has been triggering a real low level allergy with me. The smoke has also been pretty prominent since I really kicked up the exercise. THe allergy thing is relatively foreign to me, as I usually don’t really suffer that much, a couple of sneezes at sunset, and I am good to go till the next night.

A couple of weeks ago I wrote about how so many people have told me that 5 guys was just like In-N-Out, and I wrote about how it wasn’t anything like In-N-Out. Well a few days after that I had the opportunity to eat at In-N-Out once again, and with 5 guys relatively fresh on my taste buds, I can confirm that my past post was correct, In-N-Out is still the best hamburger and fries on the planet. 

With the demise of Diego’s we had to make a decision on where to eat, and since we were in the neighborhood, we decided to try 5 guys burgers. I have heard from several people that 5 guys is just like In-N-Out. I have taken those types of recommendations with a rain of salt. Now after having actually eaten there, I can say that they are only like In-N-Out, in the fact that they use fresh meat, and cut their own fries, that where the comparison  ends.

The service was horrible, we waited at the counter for over 5 minutes, before anyone acknowledged our presence, and he seemed bothered that we were there. The place was near empty with only 3 of 12+ tables occupied, and no one else in line. Then there was the 20+ minute wait for the food, and I understand that fresh food takes more time to cook, then the microwave at fast food places, but 20+ minutes for a burger… I could understand it if the place was packed, but it wasn’t.

The burgers were not that great, it seems that they are trying for a char grilled taste, by essentially burning the meat, almost to the point it had no taste. The fries had they not been over cooked would have probably been almost as good as In-N-Out.

The overdone wallpapering of the walls with up to 6+ year old reviews was really lame, I guess they are going for the power of suggestion there, and being as the most recent was going on 2 years old, could indicate a trend. They may have been better, but you couldn’t prove it to me tonight.

The drive from Pungo to Haygood used to be worth it to go to Diego’s, but it isn’t anymore. As we were driving up Independence my Wife and I both agreed, we should have gone to Sonic, a better burger at half the cost.
