Wife and I have been to 5 Guys a couple times when we're out and about. We split a burger and fries which is more than enough.
 
Actually my Dr. who is still relatively new to me is a nice Lady Dr.And I am gradually getting comfortable with her.

I just had two back surgeries in three weeks and Im still messed up. Anyway after the first surgery, they would not let me have anything to eat until after I had a BM. Well I was starving and some yahoo nearby my room had bacon and it smelled so good,,long story short in a futile attempt to do a BM I over strained and guess what- yeah popped out a hemorrhoid!
That was one of the things I needed to ask my Lady Dr. about . Talk about embarrassing, she laughed it off and said there like opinions we all have one.
 
I remember people at work raving about it. There's one 4 miles from me so one day I decided to try them. Maybe I had bigger expectations based on my coworkers rave reviews. I left thinking I just paid to eat a burger typically sold in the supermarket frozen food section.

There's one about 8 or 10 miles out. I took a friends recommendation and tried it. Even the burger was too greasy, and it was way too much food. But I was retired (the best time of my life) and my wife wasn't. That resulted in me going where I pleased for lunch. Then I had to either lie to her about where I went or take the abuse when she got home. I learned to duck the question by keeping a drink cup from some dive she approved of and putting it next to my chair or on the sink. She'd see it and falsely assume that was were I'd gone.

All was well until one day I went to 5 guys and I saw my former next door neighbor working there. I'd already gotten my food, but I tossed it away and left. The girl appears in the local jailtracker.com web site with arrests for drugs and loitering for prostitution. I hated it when she (and the US government section 8) rented next door. It was so bad I moved (in opposition to going to jail for shooting her). I then sold my .458 Winchester because we don't have elephants down here. I still can't figure out why anyone would pay for her services, fat as she is.

And I've never gone back to 5 guys. My doctor wanted to know about my diet. I told him I was down to 2 cheese burgers per week. If I up it by one, it certainly won't be from that dive. I'm picky, and select the restaurants that win or come close to the annual best in city.
 
Well, to me one of the best old time burgers comes from Waffle House:

It's grilled in its own fat grease on a steel frying surface where the onions are also turned golden brown from the grease. Put that on a bun with mustard and maybe ketchup and it's culinary heaven. :):)

As I said, it old time cooking.

The followup place would have been, if in Chicago, the Billy Goat where the burgers were done the same way.

When burgers met the Weber grill, things went downhill. :eek:

Very sneaky!!! :D
 
I've only been married 21 years, but I tell my wife what I will and will not eat.

And one of my favorite treats is a 5 Guys cheeseburger and a chocolate milkshake. I don't need the fries, although they're excellent also, but I crave their milkshakes!

My 5 Guys doesn't have milkshakes! But, Chic Filet has shakes to
die for. Just had a strawberry for dinner. Wife had chocolate. A
real treat.
 
you guys are all rich.
i'd never spend lots of money on a burger when mine are cheaper n better.
by the way, if you crave something special that only comes from one chain, check the net for knock off recipes.
you can pretty much duplicate anything.
 
Amazes me when I watch the guys manning the grill at 5 guys. They repeatedly mash with a big spatula the burgers as they fry them, squeezing all the juice out of them. I do the opposite of when I cook my burgers - I flip them once and *never* mash them. I suppose there might be so much fat in the beef they use that it still leaves something in them, but I'd rather use better beef to start with.
