This photo is dedicated to Man from the moon since he recommended this place. I took it today while having one of my burgers. This one was taken at Soho Park. The burger looked good but taste wise was just ok. Here is a larger version of the [Picture]
After a million people recommended I try Burger Joint I decided to pass by Le Parker Meridien hotel and try it out. I got there around 11:10PM, 20 minutes before closing and stood in line (of course) waiting to order. The place was packed mostly with business men in suites who looked like they were staying at the lux hotel, some group of friends and a family or two. While waiting in line a table cleared up and Nat quickly took it over while I waited to order.
They had simple instructions up on the wall which were:
Step 1: Hamburger or Cheeseburger
Step 2: How d’ya want it cooked?
(rare, med-rare, medium, med-well, well)Step 3: What d’ya want on it?
(Lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, ketchup, mayo, mustard)
With everything, call it “The works”Be ready to order or else you go to the end of the line.
I decided to have a cheese burger, medium with just ketchup and mustard, plus fries, a beer and a diet coke. Total came out to $20 and I sat down and waited for my name to be called out. The hotel is very posh but Burger Joint is designed to look like some small dodgy burger place. It’s very small and I can imagine that must frustrate a lot of people who come in for a quick bite and not find anywhere to sit.
I got my burger and took my first bite, and then second and then third until there was no burger left. Honestly I wasn’t impressed. The burger was good of course, but it was missing an oomph. I know many people will shoot me down for this but I prefer Shake Shack over Burger Joint and as you know I prefer Five Guys over Shake Shack. Cute little place though.
Update: Comments now open, not sure why they were closed
I was walking around shopping when suddenly I spotted a Five Guys restaurant. I was caught by surprise since someone had told me there was no Five Guys in New York before I got here. Without hesitation I quickly rushed in and ordered my burger.
The way it works at Five Guys is all the burgers come plain and you tell them what you want inside (all the toppings are for free). I ordered a cheese burger which comes with 2 meat patties and cheese, I added three toppings, ketchup, mustard and grilled onions plus a small coke. Since they cook everything fresh to order it takes a bit of time to prepare your food so you go sit down until they call out your number. My number was 47 and when they called my number out I picked it up and came back to my table.
The packaging is very basic. They use brown paper bags with no branding and aluminium foil to wrap the burger with. Only the cup had Five Guys written on it. I unwrapped the foil to find a messy burger that looked very unappealing. BUT, the burger tasted AMAZING so it didn’t matter if the interior of the place was uninteresting or the fact the burger looked messy and came wrapped in foil. It was just like a wow! People THIS was as pretty close to a 5 out of 5 I’ve ever been!
The Shake Shack burger was good but the Five Guys burger was incredible and there was no line! Nat was just starring at me wondering why I was getting orgasmic over a burger since I was just munching and going amazing I love this non stop. When I left the place I was like I’ve got to go back and I sooo am going to!
Update: Below are pictures I took of another Five Guys branch in New York
Great photos from the Boston Globe. [Link]

This is a comedy I can’t wait to watch.
Four Lions tells the story of a group of British jihadists who push their abstract dreams of glory to the breaking point. As the wheels fly off, and their competing ideologies clash, what emerges is an emotionally engaging (and entirely plausible) farce. In a storm of razor-sharp verbal jousting and large-scale set pieces, Four Lions is a comic tour de force; it shows that-while terrorism is about ideology-it can also be about idiots.

Some guy goes from Kuwait to Sharm el-Sheikh and records the whole thing on video and uploads it onto YouTube. I’ve never been to Sharm el-Sheikh so I was curious to watch this video but just a warning up front before you watch the video, the guy wears a speedo and has bad taste in music. [YouTube]
Thanks Ahmad

I saw this picture on my friends facebook page and I thought it was worth sharing with everyone. It’s an amazing shot taken I’m guessing in the early 70s when they were still constructing the Kuwait Towers. Can anyone tell me what car that is?
Thanks Farah!
Update: Turns out its a 1977 Nissan Skyline. Beautiful car.
Update2: Turns out the photo was originally taken from KuwaitStar on [Flickr]

“Dude, I’m really skinny up top, but down below I’m a MESS!”
“I’ve been doing ab work for ages! I literally spend hours in the gym everyday crunching and leg raising my butt off! Why do I still have this belly!? Where’s my six pack!?”
“I might as well paste that muffin I just ate on my thighs, because eventually that’s where it’s going to end up.”
“I’m a 27 year old guy that has better breast development than Pamela Anderson!”
“I’ve been on Lipo-6 for 3 months! Nothing happened!” Me: what’s your diet like? “I pretty much eat whatever I want.”
These pretty much sum up what I am about to tackle today (and obviously the title). Before I do, I’d like to point the finger of blame:
1) Training is 20-30%; it only refines a physique.
Nutrition is the other 70-80%.
2) Abs are made in the kitchen.
3) Why are you crunching with no weights when you clearly don’t have any abdominal muscles?
4) The abdominals are a muscle. If you work a muscle everyday it’ll shrink and never grow.
5) If you eat like a pig and train like a horse, you’ll lose overall weight; except for those stubborn fat stores you want to get rid off.
Too many of you quit too early to see any significant results. You tend to give it all up once results start to slow down. It took you years to gain all that fat, so why do you expect to lose it in such a short time?
It’s hard to make your first million, but once you do, you’ll know exactly what kind of work ethic you’d have to give in order to get it. Same thing goes with a set of abs or shapely thighs; you’re pretty vague about how long or hard your journey will be, but once you give into the commitment then it’ll be all worth it.
I’m here to serve as a guide to that journey, where simple bouts of information may prove useful for that much needed push you’ve been looking for.
UNO restaurant at the Avenues has a pretty cool offer where if you buy one of their burgers you get another one free. Sadly I wasn’t impressed with my burgers (stay tuned for a review) but it’s still a pretty good deal.
I got an email from a reader saying that he heard that In-N-Out were opening in Kuwait. Of course I was skeptical and contacted In-N-Out right away and asked them about this. Here is their response:
Dear Mr. Mark:
Thank you for your e-mail. It’s always nice to hear from our customers, and we appreciate your interest.
As plans for new locations are always subject to change, we are unable to confirm any site in as a future In-N-Out Burger® until it is under construction. However, we can affirm that we plan on expanding as far as we can, and particularly into areas in which our customers have expressed interest. As such, we are happy to let our Real Estate Department know that you are anxious to have an In-N-Out Burger® location in your area!
For the latest information regarding new store openings, please call our toll-free Customer Service line at (800) 786-1000. Our representatives are available 7 days a week, from 8am – 1am (PST).
Thank you again for contacting us.
Notice the part I highlighted in bold? In-N-Out are only located in the Western United States, I think they’re actually only located in California. Previously when contacted their response would be along the lines that they would not open outside the US but now their response is they’re willing to open wherever their customers need them. In-N-Out are notorious for not wanting to expand or franchise so this new tone of voice I think is evidence that it might be possible they are considering expanding outside the US in the same way Shake Shack did. Hopefully we get someone more evidence soon.
I just read the following on the Animal Friends Facebook group:
Ayeshah Al-Humaidhi said: Woke up to call that the staff building at the shelter was on fire. No one was hurt and all animals were unharmed but we lost a portion of the building. Four of our staff have lost everything except the clothes on their back and most of the bedding for the animals also burned. We are needing donations of cash for repairs, mens clothes in S/M/L and towels/blankets for the animals.
If you can help out with a donation follow this [Link]
I think it currently only applies to Kuwaitis since you would need one of the new SMART Civil ID cards. The way it works is you add funds to your Civil ID card using Knet and every time you pay with your Civil ID you get the amount deducted from your balance.
I can’t see how this could be useful for anyone with a Knet card. You can’t use this for your drivers because they need to be a Kuwaiti to get the new Civil ID’s and your children don’t have Knet cards but they shouldn’t be driving and filling up gas anyways. Am I missing something here?

Thanks Kuwait!
