Burgers and fries...

[THAT Gurl]

I only went to the one in Shawnee. Maybe it wasn't the burger. Maybe it was all the damned loud music and yuppie, hipster atmosphere.

I tell ya, I used to love to crank up my tunes as loud as they would go, but not anymore. Hell, here lately, I've turned into one crusty, crotchety, cynical sonovab*tch.

Yeah, they're probably my favorite too....if they leave the gotdamned ketchup off. Ketchup belongs on fries, tots and onion rings - that's it!

You realize they’ll make it to order if you’ll just tell them, right? Most of the Braums stores where I’ve ordered burgers have been pretty good about getting it right, too. And most of them understand what “mustard, no onion, no cheese” means, although I do occasionally have to spell it out for them. (FWIW, I like onions, but onions do not like me.)

Ironically enough, my nieces came over to clean my apartment today, so I ordered them some dinner (in addition to paying them). The older girl wanted “good fries,” and she doesn’t like the fries from Ron’s (insert sad uncle sounds here), so I went with Five Guys. By the time we got the burgers and fries and delivery charges (plus tip), you don’t want to know what that cost. Hell, I don’t want to know what that cost…

I'm a mustard fiend.

My uncle is a mustard fiend. He doesn’t dip his fries in it (I mean, he’s not a savage), but he likes his burgers to be swimming in mustard. Years ago we stopped at a Sonic on the way back from watching a high school football playoff game. I ordered it the way he requested, and it had way too much mustard for me, but he still sent it back for more mustard.

ETA: pronouns be hard these days.

I prefer mayo on my burger, but if'n it shows up with mustard, I wouldn't send it back. It'll be alright.

Yep. That's me -- savage.

Five Guys is ridiculous price, especially for the quality.

Ate there 1 time, never again. We can have a good steak at Road House for what Five Guys barely passable burger cost.

Bros Houligan in Tulsa serves waffle fries with white gravy on the side. Makes for good dippin'. I'll bet other gravies are good for dippin' fries too.

I read an article once that said Five Guys is intentionally expensive, they followed the Starbucks model.... charge more in order to attract the crowd that likes to feel better about themselves because they pay more for coffee/burgers.

I paraphrased it but no kidding, that's essentially what the article said. I like Five Guys okay, but yeah they're kind of pricey for a burger.
