when Star Wars meets potatoes

A couple days ago, my friend Angel sent me a photo of a T-shirt she saw that reminded her of me, since I like Mr. Potatohead and fries and basically any other greasy deep-fried potato product. 

Well, I thought it was super awesome, except for the fact that even though there's a Star Wars reference, there really was nothing else greatly galactic about the potato characters. 

So... I decided to draw a new and improved version. I based my Darth Vader Potato off this little guy here, a Star Wars Mr. Potatohead by Hasbro, aptly named DARTH TATER.

Here's my version of the T-shirt...

Presenting Darth Tater and... LUKE FRYWALKER (I thought of that one myself... genius no?) HAHA. Come on... it's punny...laugh, you!!!

This was coloured with some crappy dollar-store pencil crayons... but I'm pretty proud of my little Luke Frywalker. Now I'm tempted to draw the rest of the Star Wars characters in potato form!!!

Five Guys Burgers and Fries!

Okay, I think I am officially obsessed with the image above. I think it's one of my favourite doodles that I've ever drawn because looking at it every time just makes me so happy for some reason. Anyway, I'll make up any excuse to re-post that good ol' happy hamburger, and it IS relevant because today I'm posting about BURGERS.

 This particular eating extravaganza takes place at Five Guys Burgers and Fries in Surrey (2285 160th Street). I think there's also another location in West Van (2002 Park Royal Street).

The burger itself is around $6, but hey it's got DOUBLE PATTIES... and considering a McDonald's meal can get up to the double digits, it's not THAT expensive. I usually don't like thick patties because most of the ones I've had are dry and tasteless. But the meat was REALLY JUICY. Also, you can get a whole bunch of free toppings on it (like bacon, lettuce, fried onions, mushrooms, etc.) so obviously when I saw that it was all FREE, I loaded it up. Oh, and the fries have some mighty addictive seasoning on them. 

Here are pictures of...

the BURGER.

the FRIES.

and... the RESIDUE. 

Randy and I probably don't remember the conversation during this meal... oh wait, THERE WAS NONE, because we were both too busy wolfing down our burgers. After my first burger, I was tempted to get another but I refrained, for my arteries' sake (although my stomach was telling me otherwise)...

Let me know if there's any other burger places YOU would recommend because being a huge burger fanatic, I'm always up for suggestions!!!
