So I tried Five Guys last week and I was really disappointed. I loved the fries (had Cajun) and the peanuts and atmosphere and everything but the Burger was very disappointing. I guess it's because I don't like big burgers and I don't understand them. It's a cacophany of flavors in a big ball of goo in my mouth.
I can't taste the charred beef, I can't taste the individual toppings, it was too much. In the future I may try it again with the single patty and being VERY restrictive on the toppings (perhaps just mushrooms and onions).
My favorite Burger at the moment (shoot me if you must) is the $1.99 Whopper on Whopper Wednesdays. You take it home, throw the patty into your own broiler for a bit to crisp it up, toast the buns a little, add some of your own ingredients and sauces to it and it's the perfect size where the food doesn't overpower you for a fantastic price.
