Squirting water on the bacon in our house would cause everything to splatter and probably cause a grease fire. When you cook a package of bacon, you don't drain the fat from the cast iron pan until complete.

You put the water on when the bacon is raw, not while it's frying LOL.

Here's a 52 second video to show you what I mean:

I eat at both places and at least here in Phoenix, the 5 guys is much better in my experience.
In-N-Out was more bland by comparison with the same setup :(

try Lobbys in tempe. puts both to shame. i like both 5guys and in n out well enough, but when i want a really good burger there are too many other places around that have much better burgers and fries.


oh, and yes i watched the video. it annoyed the hell out of me in 5 seconds flat.

5 Guys are so over hyped... I was so disappointed with it... maybe it was hyped by people that never had in-n-out before... in-n-out all the way! :D:thumbsup:

I went to Smashburger the other day, and I have to say... the burger isn't as good as Five Guys. The egg bun is definitely better, but they tend to overload certain toppings (such as onions). Where I think Smashburger "smashes" Five Guys has to be the french fries... their smashfries are a billion times better than Five Guys' fries, but it helps that they're not just basic fries. The description says that they're "tossed with rosemary, olive oil and garlic." DA-YUM!
