I have mentioned this before on CP - I used to almost ALWAYS order cheddar on my burgers, when given the choice. Fairly recently I've shifted to American for burgers. Just sort of seems to work. I'm a little embarrassed admitting it - but I love McDonalds american cheese. ha
I was convinced 5 Guys had some special cheese it tastes so good, but I looked behind the counter and it's just Kraft american. [Reply]

When 5 guys first opened up in Olathe, we lived down the street so, obviously, we had to be one of the first in the door when they opened up. Pretty good burgers but messy as hell...right up my alley.
Still drop in there about once a month....great fries. [Reply]

They taught my mom how to make enchiladas and pork tamale fillings, they were the best. She would cook them up by the hundreds when we had parties, everyone wanted the recipe. Mom had promised Luis and Esther never to tell, I didn't get the recipe when she passed.
I was really young when my mother hauled me down there. They have since moved (LOL) in the late 60's, from what I think was an old grocery store. I have been to the newer building, see below, but it was much more like a restaurant up front. than the old place. I think they stopped serving about 1970. The restaurant is now offices.
I found the original location once but since the late 60's they have kept adding on at 23rd and Metropolitan.
Luis died in the late 70's and Esther died at 102 a couple of years ago. As I recall her daughter's family and investors bought Esther out in the 80's and she and her sons went on to make sauces again under the Silva's brand in Westwood. The sauce is good, heard horror stories about the chips. I am guessing the son's just used her recipes and her money.

I heard a Hardees commercial on 610 the other day. They were advertising the Frisco breakfast sandwich. They still make that thing? I used to love that for breakfast when i was a little kid. [Reply]
