| - You're alright Five Guys!!
To many, I've probably evolved into a burger snob in some ways. I'm always open to trying new burger places but after that one time, it will surely determine whether I would bother with that place again.
I think I will shamelessly plug my favorite burger place in Toronto until another one comes up and that's Burger's Priest (BP)
With that being said, I do compare all the burgers I try to BP and none have come close but maybe, just maybe, Five Guys would be able to set me free? I mean, if Obama loves it, shouldn't I? Yes we can! Right?....nahhh, No you can't..and you can take that to the bank!
But let me say this, it's a damn good burger and #2 on my list...though maybe a distant 2, but still at least I will grace the franchise with my presence again in the future.
Décor:
This is a franchise/fast food joint...and I expect nothing more or nothing less from it: A place to order, and seats to sit on. Good job.
There are bags of potatoes in the front entrance with Five Guys branding though, so go ahead and take one. Tell them Alvin said so or tell them you're one of the Five Guys.
Food:
A regular burger is two patties and a junior(a.k.a. sissy) is one. You must order regular to really savour the tastes and honestly?...Screw the condiments unless they're vegetables. Any sauce you use will mask the meat texture/taste. See what I mean by snob? Just an FYI, I still look like how I do in my picture...I don't possess a giant belly...even though I go burger crazy.
The painful truth of fast food revolves around how the food is presented. In media, it looks fantastic, but in reality the burger looks pretty lousy with the bun being a bit mangled and squished. Priorities though, it's the taste that counts and Five Guys rocks at that. The patty texture was similar to Burger's Priest where it slightly fell apart to melt in your mouth. They're thinner patties which is why a regular burger (TWO!!!) is important.
Fries were adequate but nothing to phone home about. In fact, don't waste your stomach on them and just order two burgers!
Overall:
For a chain, this place is strong. To be able to oust more exclusive places like Kraft or Gourmet Burger is an achievement in itself.
Give it a try and if you hear someone saying "Man-up!" to another guy friend who wants to order a sissy burger (single), or if you see someone try to take a bag of potatoes, it's probably me =)
