Haven't blogged for a long while, so here ya go...
I'm going to go out on a limb with this post. And by limb I mean one of the largest, most robust limbs of the food critic forest that exists. When you roll into any Five Guys you're greated with article after article praising this place as one of the greatest places to eat a burger in any metro area that Five Guys has seem fit to grace with its presence. I suggest that if there's a five guys within an hour radius from you it is well worth the drive. They use high quality ingredients to pump out wondrous burgers, hotdogs, and fries. They tell you daily from where in Idaho (or sometimes the Northwest) what town the potatoes are from.
When you throw down on a hamburger they throw back. You can get pretty much any condiment a relatively 'normal' person would ever want to put on their burger: BBQ sauce, fried onions, fried mushrooms, just to name a few of my favorites. All at no extra cost. And just in case that doesn't tempt you, they throw scrumptilicious fries in your face by the bag full (literally, a large is a good brown lunch sack full).
This place is so good my brother called me in utter excitement when he found out they were opening one in the Portland metro. Andy and Ashley argued (very convincely) for a good 5 minutes about whether the fries or the burgers were better (my mouth was too full with both to chime in).
The only thing that is ever lacking at five guys is conversation when the food is at the table.
