I find I always go into a mini-coma after five guys. It tastes fantastic, but the portion sizes are huge. The near endless fries are very difficult to resist, and full of calories:

I've started going there and just having the burger, which I find leaves me in much better shape but a little empty too.

I've never really had that sick feeling from McDonalds either. With a diet soda, one of their meals has 800-900 calories, which is about the same as just the burger from Five Guys. I do agree that McDonalds prices are getting out of hand for what they offer. I would never consider them for a semi-gourmet burger of any kind though. They need to stick to what they do best.

My guess is that they are trying to keep up with Wendy's and A&W, who are both offering soy and higher end beef alternatives.
