| - I will never buy a Five Guys burger again.
It was a really let down after having so many times enjoyed their partner, Blaze Pizza. I had thought that Smash Burger was rather bland and boring, but Five Guys easily beats them out for just kinda ... I don't know.
The burger has next to no flavour - what kind of meat is it really? - and there are hardly any condiments to add to it to overcome the lack of taste in the meat. This is a poor burger, but it certainly looks okay and IS edible.
What kinda gets to me is that it seems that most people don't know what a truly great burger is, and in so not knowing, we get used to something that's not good, but for a lack of a benchmark or a true representation of things, we settle for the mediocre and call it good.
Without any input from the guest, the fries are simply too salty for some people (esp. with hbp), yet are quite good as a sidekick, but the burgers are the feature, are they not?
I also tried their milkshakes, and well, what unimpressive flavor and size, for a huge price. They try to spice them up, but the recommended switch-it-up flavors of chocolate with caramel was not all that good, and the 'whipped cream' was that aerosol junk that leaves a scum on the back of the tongue.
So what do you really get?
Decent free pre-salted un-shelled peanuts.
So do we drop in for the peanuts and leave?
Or maybe go next door, and bring back a Blaze pizza to go with the peanuts.
Now there's an idea...
