1/18/2024 0 Comments Five guys take awayYou are meant to take those fries out of the bag and eat them while they are hot in all their glory and splendor. Five guys has a policy that they are not even allowed to start cooking your pre-ordered fries until you arrive because they know they will get soggy in the bag. There is simply no better chain french fry that I have found out there, but the people who are tasting soggy fries must be ordering DoorDash or not eating the fries right away. Many times I will not even use their salt, I keep my own Celtic sea salt in the car and dr. I simply put salt and pepper on the meat and it tastes absolutely delicious. The quality of five guys meat is better than any other fast food chain but you are correct that they do not salt or season the meat. The solution to this problem is really pretty simple. But I know now that Five Guys is my second choice for a "fast food" burger, my first being a local joint (but I'm pretty sure no fast food burger ever beats out mom n' pop diners for quality burgers). Maybe it's because I had to drastically change my diet for years to get my blood sugar under control and then again to lose weight. But somewhere along the way, all of that change. I'd choose an Outback Steakhouse ribeye with its 16 or 17 or however many seasonings over a supposedly fancier steakhouse with nearly unseasoned steaks. They wouldn't adequately season the steak for my tastes. I used to feel that way about a lot of steakhouses, too. Like the burger was bland and uninteresting. Maybe it's just how our taste buds change over time, because I remember some time back in the early to mid 90's feeling exactly the way you do. But the raw onion flavor with the beef for some reason just hits all the right spots for me. I get lettuce, raw onions, mayo, and mustard. I still like a well-seasoned burger, too, but the Five Guys flavor just one day hit my taste buds in a different way and made me want more. But, as I've gotten older I've really come to enjoy the pure beef flavor. Twenty years ago I'd have agreed with you. Their burgers are a solid C+ to B- dammit Is it one of those things where if you arent in a place with a strong local cuisine culture its the best place to consistently hit the burger craving? Is it one of those things where its like yes relative to the grand scheme of things it’s not world class but it’s for many people a treat because of cost / availability of local restaurants ? Someone needs to resolve this most pressing mystery of our time. Its goddamn inexplicable and I cant take it anymore. I am the only one who is willing to make my voice heard against the five guys hordes. I am the only one willing to take this stand. Anyone on this sub can make a wayyy tastier, heartier burger. But someone needs to explain to me how this burger can be considered objectively ‘great’. Its like the chipotle of burgers in that its just kinda-bland-but-okay “fresh” food that at least is served in a decent location and in a pinch you can get like a keto version of the food and not feel bad about yourself. Its bland and brings nothing to the table. Look, I guess they’re photogenic and like, of an overall higher quality than a really trashy pub burger or a mcdouble (which I will defend as having a time and place, dammit). I am seriously totally perplexed why this mediocre ass burger has a following. The whole thing comes together as just a mish-mash of bland ingredients. Like the meat, the cheese is somehow excruciatingly bland and does not taste like the gooey, savory hot and piping burger cheese you wantĥ. They dont have a buttery toasty crunch or that sweet potato roll smoothness.Ĥ. Their buns are solid texturally but not very flavorful. I’d prefer a good proper ketchup/mustard/relish-y burger sauce, made by the restaurant to ensure proper seasoning and proportionsģ. As for the rest of it, I don’t really like their sauces or pickles. They just shit onions on a hot griddle for 2 mins. They dont get to that delicious deep savory / sweetness. Their vegetable and topping selection is pretty good and fresh but they suck at caramelizing onions. I think they don’t season it and use a really low fat mix? Fuck that. I have to dump an entire packet of salt and pepper on that shit to get any flavor. Five guys meat is the blandest shit of all time.
