Not particular to New England or even the Northeast, but my beloved (Washington D.C. based) Five Guys recently got the sort of nation-wide exposure money cannot buy after a recent visit by President Obama. Luckily the chain has been spreading like wildfire throughout the country, if you’re reading from New England check out your nearest location.
The same can’t be said for still-stubbornly regional In-N-Out, so damn Tom Hanks on The Tonight Show for rubbing our noses in the fact that we here in the New England tundra still have to take sojourns out to California, Nevada, Utah, or Arizona to get our In-N-Out fix.
