Five Guys Burgers and Fries opened a second Brevard County location, in Viera, during the week of Christmas. It's much closer to me than the Virginia-based franchise's first location on the Space Coast, in West Melbourne, so I expect that any New Year's resolution I make to abstain from fatty foods will not last long.

I ate Thanksgiving dinner at a co-worker's house, where a more Southern-style meal was served. Above, the chefs pull the turkey out of a fryer. It was my first fried turkey, and I must say it was quite good. The meat itself is similar to that of a bird cooked in an oven, but the skin reminds me of the extra crispy chicken at KFC.
Now that we're on the verge of 2010 - but not a new decade, which starts in 2011 - I'm posting some final photos from 2009, and both have of these have to do with food.
