That's when they bring out the fry-hose and just spray you with fries until you're a sobbing wreck being slowly crushed to death under a mountain of potato, with your only hope being to eat your way to the surface.
Save room for the free peanuts! :^D

That's the problem. Most home-cooked burgers I've had are terrible. People try to grill big, fat balls of meat so they end up nuked on the outside with raw centers.

Eh, it is easy to cook something like that but it turns into meatloaf. Most burger types do it smash style.

Only been to FiveGuys once. I liked the food, but holy shit you get a lot. I got a regular burger and medium fries. I was thinking I was pretty hungry, and you can't go wrong with medium. That's right between 90# girl and typical glutton. The burger was fuckin' huge, and I'm pretty sure a medium fry is two full fryer baskets. Couldn't imagine what a large looks like D^:

Man, that wasn't my experience at all. The burger diameter was pretty standard, similar to a Carl's Jr. patty diameter. The burger thickness was greater than a fast food burger patty but thinner than a fast casual place like Chili's.

The fries were the biggest disappointment. After hearing about the mass quantities served the small fries I ordered to share barely filled the cup it was served in.

I hope that with those choices, you instead opted for a quickie for your quickie break.

That's very unusual, sounds like that particular 5G needs a beating.

This has to be a troll post. You have three crappy poll entries, just one good one, and even that one has a typo. You're triggering my OCD, man!
