^^^^If they're char-grill style, then that answers my question. Between PR, Char-Grill, and The Times, I don't see how Five Guys could improve on the Raleigh formula.

THROW COLE SLAW ON IT! NOW ITS A RALEIGH BURGER! DERP!

It was a generalized reference to DOSE 100% RALEIGH BURGER OFFERINGS.

Not any kind of literal terminology.

Uncle Fatty's at Cameron Village is pretty good.

Even if the whole concept is a big Fat Daddy's rip off.

Five guys tastes like any old burger I've ever eaten at a backyard cookout. Their toppings and condiments can be bought at any food lion. They're fries are mediocre at best, just super greasy sliced potatoes with no seasoning or anything. All served in a brown paper bag? This is nothing special people These places only survive in big cities where residents don't know how to operate their own grills and have never eaten at a down home burger shack. Five Guys is neither cheap enough nor tasty enough for me to drop hard earned cash in any of their establishments. /rant

Five Guys is the okay burger place that puts peanut oil (or something like that) on everything, right?

I seem to remember eating at one near Concord Mills and the peanut warning label being fucking everywhere.

shocking revelations

one can cook something better suiting their tastes and likes at home than at a fast food chain restaurant

tell me more

OnlyBurger is my jam.

7/11/2010 8:26:23 PM

their burgers are overrated and overpriced, but the fries are tasty. A small fry will feed three people.

[Edited on July 11, 2010 at 8:27 PM. Reason : you have to douse them in malt vinegar to cut the peanut oil off.]

um, the seasoning is pretty much what makes their fries so amazing

I say again

Is this a group thing we're going to try to do this week?

7/12/2010 9:40:39 AM

I want to marry this chick that works at one.

7/12/2010 10:42:26 AM

high standards

7/12/2010 10:45:59 AM

maybe the burger isn't strictly 10/10

but after walking in, stuffing yourself with peanuts while you wait for your order, taking like the next half hour to eat your meal, and finally cramming that last bit of burger into your mouth, belching, and lazing back like a contented boa constrictor or something...

it's well worth $10 now and again

7/12/2010 10:47:25 AM

i know right? there is nothing more important than a girl's ability to put a burger and fries into a bag and take my orders sons.... other than the fact that she's bangin

That's ignorance. It's a completely different style of burger. You could make that argument about Backyard though I guess.

Had a bacon cheeseburger all the way + jalapeños about and hour ago. Very tasty

5/26/2014 5:11:53 PM

I don't care what anyone says. Five Guys makes a frickin' great burger.

5/26/2014 5:31:14 PM

Five Guys=Wendy's+subway

5/26/2014 5:49:50 PM

A little greasy for me, but otherwise a good tasting burger

5/26/2014 6:01:17 PM

I would fucking KILL for a goddamn Five Guys burger right now.
