| - I fell in love with Five Guys back when I lived in DC. It is such a DC institution - and I don't think anywhere can ever beat the Georgetown location. So I was nervous walking into this Five Guys. Could it possibly hold up? I've dined at a Midwest Five Guys location, and I didn't think it was very good. So yeah, I was a little nervous.
But that nervousness quickly grew to anticipation as we approached the location and began the search for parking. Once finally entering, the anticipation became a desperate hunger. Despite the line being quite long, it moved relatively quickly. It was around 20 minutes from the time we got in the line until the time we received our order.
A huge smile came over my face as that paper bag with grease spots coming through was set in front of me. As I unwrapped my burger, I couldn't help but stop and stare. It was a thing of beauty. Awww, Five Guys, we meet again. I took a big bite and relished in child-like joy as juicy goodness started to run down my hands. The two patties, the cheese, the bacon, the crisp lettuce and tomato - so fab! And then I dived into the Cajun fries. Crispy outside, soft inside, and covered in a spicy mix that is such savory deliciousness. Yes, it was just as good as I remembered from in DC. Yes, it did totally hold up to the DC area locations. Yes, yes, yes.
My personal note on the fries: You have to go with the Cajun fries. The Cajun seasoning totally makes the fries.
