For a health food nut, President Barack Obama sure likes his burgers.

President Barack Obama made a surprise lunchtime stop at Five Guys, a fast-food restaurant in Washington.

The president ordered a cheeseburger with lettuce, tomato, jalapeno peppers, and mustard as well as several other cheeseburgers to go. He also ordered a cheeseburger for Brian Williams, news anchor for NBC. The network was filming a day-in-the-life program at the White House.

The president snacked on peanuts, and chatted with surprised customers while he waited for his order....

Early this month, Obama and Vice President Joe Biden took a short motorcade ride from the White House to Virginia and ordered lunch at a small independent restaurant called Ray's Hell Burger. First lady Michelle Obama recently said she snuck out to a Five Guys restaurant without anyone noticing.

Despite their burger runs, the Obamas are big believers in exercise and healthy eating....

Well, I can't fault him for his love of Five Guys, if it's real. They're better than any fast food chain.

An NBC “Day in the Life” puff-piece. Oh great; you know how that’s going to go. I’m sure Brian Williams was grateful for the cheeseburger to get the taste out of his mouth.

I’ve only gotten them twice - the first was so greasy that it dripped out and ruined my shirt, the second was so desiccated that it crunched. I’ll pass.

He didn’t mean it. Honest. It was a mistake.

Sorry you’ve had bad experiences with them. Was it both at the same location?

He had to include some of today’s PC foods - jalapeno peppers.

A “quick” Motorcade ride for them means EVERYONE else gets blockaded in traffic.

How is that “PC”? I usually get jalapenos on my Five Guys burgers. In fact, more salsa is sold in the U.S. than ketchup these days.

Why is he doing this? I thought beef contributed to global warming.

Oh, wait, they only want the little people to stop eating burgers. Silly me.

“If he stays this exposed in public, sooner or later...”

Big MO once said that “as a black man, he could be gunned down going for gas...” you know, in violent, racially hateful America....

He is a smoker and loves cheeseburgs and pizza so that makes him a health nut?

We went to Five Guys here in Acworth, GA last weekend. My daughter was working behind the counter building burgers, and I mean working. I was very, very proud of her.
The food is great, even when she’s not there.
