If you ate one large order of these things every week for a year, you would take in more than 8 pounds of pure fat, all of it straight out of Five Guys’ deep fryer. What makes these fries so monumentally unhealthy? The portion—one order clocks in at a staggering 1.25 pounds. (And that doesn't include the extra fries they throw in the bag!) Your best bet is to downsize to a "regular" size and split them with a friend, or order the large and split it with five guys.

REVIEW / The Mason Jar Café in Fort Lauderdale: The Food Will Remind You of Grandma's House – and So Will the Curtains

from jamie long @ The New Times
The Scene
...grandma ambiance: wooden tables and chairs, autumn-colored faux-flower arrangements, and awful floral valance curtains. 
The Food
a new menu focusing on comfort food.
... Lightly fried green tomatoes (served with a cool pickle and yogurt sauce ) $
... mammoth pot pie ($15), which cradled a hearty portion of chicken and vegetables.  He ate every bite.
... the frozen lemon mousse was light and refreshing atop a homemade graham cracker crust.
