I am a big fan of burgers. I've been to 5 guys exactly 1 time. That was plenty to last me a lifetime.
@JWC is correct about in and out being cheaper so I guess there is that. I have tried most of the burgers that people always rave about. I am always disappointed.
Some resturants make decent burgers most fast food joints are complete garbage. I think 5 guys is one of the worst I've tried.
Burgers arnt hard to make. To make a good burger you need good quality beef and an open flame. That's about it. It also helps to not make them paper thin. And peanut oil? Lol wtf
Make thick patties, Sprinkle a little garlic salt on them, and cook them on the grill. Do that, and you really cant go wrong. Whatever you want to add for toppings afterward is up to you.
