A look back: Five Guys
Ah, Five Guys. This was a place originally founded back near DC, but it has since migrated throughout this state and others due to how delicious their burgers are. It's name comes from the fact that five brothers were offered the chance to either go to college or found a restaurant with their parents money. Luckily for us, they decided to found a restaurant.
This place only makes three things - burgers, hot dogs, and fries. But it needs make no more. The burgers are enormous, one reason our carb-phobic friend Mario appreciates going there, and you can choose any amount of toppings to toss down on that thing. You can't truly appreciate these burgers unless you load them up with toppings - they basically smash the toppings in there with your patties, somehow strap a bun on there, and then wrap it up in tin foil so none of the flavor escapes. I, for example, get grilled onions, mushrooms, bacon, cheese, lettuce, ketchup and mayo on my burger. It just makes the meal.
The second element of Five Guys are the giant pile of fries they give you with each meal. You recieve your burger in a big paper bag, and they fill up that bag the rest of the way with fries. Just about every time I've gone there we've brought fries home for a snack, because they give us just too damn much. Add in the fact that these fries are themselves another delicious Five Guys creation and it just completes the meal.
How do they make their fries and burgers so delicious? I have no clue. Fresh ingredients? Addictive drugs? Special cooking techniques? Honestly, I don't really care. I'm just going to enjoy the food while until a doctor tells me I shouldn't. Which leads me to my only warning. This food never even approaches healthy. Mario eats it on his 'diet', but anyone else who enjoys eating healthy should avoid this place at all costs. Luckily, most of us don't really care about 'healthy' foods.
