Yet another survey has declared Five Guys America's favorite burger joint, beating out In-N-Out, Fuddruckers, A&W and Smashburger, in that order. McDonald's and Burger King appeared even lower on the list. The survey, from Market Force Information, questioned 7,600 consumers and first simply calculated the number of votes for each chain. Then, Market Force factored in the number of locations. The results were also examined geographically.

Nations Giant Burgers, over all those.
Especially since they have onion rings now. Nomnomnomnom
The flavor of the burgers are just superior.

However, its really a moot point, since burger preference is just a matter of personal opinion anyway.

>questioned 7,600 consumers in the parking lots of Five Guys

This is the part they left out. Every time I drive by my local Five Guys, there's about 5 cars in the parking lot. 3 miles down the road, even further from the interstate than 5G, McD always has a line in their drive-through that goes around half the building.

I'm not saying 5G is bad, I'm saying the article is retarded.

Outside starbucks with a FiveGuys on the other side of the parking lot. A worker in their red shirt is sitting just outside the door here, starbucks cup and fiveguys cup, chain smoking, coughing frequently, PICKING HIS NOSE, repeatedly spitting on the side walk, while listening on earbuds to his whatever-mobile-device-he-has.
This disgusting slob was probably serving burgers and fries earlier. Think about this guy the next time you go to FiveGuys.

Well, this is stupid.

You can't attempt to compare five guys to mcdonalds. They don't offer the same thing in any way. Mcdonalds goes for fast and cheap, five guys offers slower and more expensive. Plus, five guys fries are disgusting (anyone can cut a potato and fry it in peanut oil). I'd say red robins has better burgers and fries than five guys.

I fry fries at home all the time; just fill a pot an eight of the way with oil (in mine, that's about 3 cups), fry the fries, drain them on brown paper set in a colander or sieve, eat the fries, cool the oil, filter it and store.
Sounds like a lot of work, I know, but really, it takes only about 5 minutes of set up and 5 minutes of break down.

I'm from the east coast. We only got 5 Guys around 6 years ago.

Frankly, I don't get the 5 Guys hate either. I mean, you're not going to a fast food place to eat well and you're hopefully not going to one more than once every couple of weeks (out of convenience). You might as well get a big fucking garbage burger and a paper bag full of deliciously mushy fries while you've already made the concerted decision to abuse your body, a little.
