| - My first experience with Five Guys was last summer in Long Island which was a phenomenal experience (and no, this is not a reference to Fire Island!), so you can only imagine how I excited I was when they opened up shop in Scarborough.
Despite being one of the unhealthiest burger joints, I had to get my fix. In both instances, I've opted for the little burger, which has one patty (with two patties being the norm at this joint). When I first had it, I didn't realize the unlimited options when it came to toppings so stuck with the standard toppings and condiments of lettuce, tomato, ketchup. With so many options to choose from (and at no extra cost), I went a bit overboard with the toppings this time around. I mean, who's gonna say no to grilled onions and mushrooms?! I learned my lesson that 'less is more' and the combination of all the toppings really took away from my overall satisfaction of the burger.
As for the fries, I'd have to pass on future visits. If you can look past the unhealthiness of peanut oil, and prefer largely sliced, mushy fries, then by all means, go for it. The Cajun seasoning didn't really do anything for me either.
It's definitely going to be awhile until my next visit, perhaps on a day when I feel like splurging. And my next burger will be plain and simple, with no excessive nonsense!
