Now I know that as a blogger, my job is to show you beautiful food, places, fashions & trends. To distract you from your day at work and inspire you to try exciting new places & recipes.
This post is about somewhere that isn't new, beautiful or fancy... in fact, it's down right dirty.
In the best possible way!
This is my favourite burger joint in the entire world.
Unfortunately it hasn't hit the UK yet, but I know you're a jet setting lot. Next time you're in America, sniff one of these places out, you won't be sorry.
5 Guys has somewhat of a cult status amongst its fans, but so many people walk right past.
Don't be too hard on them, they just don't know what they're missing.
Free barrels of peanuts to crack & nibble as you wait.

All the chips are cooked fresh to order, in peanut oil (which is much better for you).

You can choose any toppings you want, onions, salad, tomato, cheese, relish... there are 15 to choose from.
As far as I'm concerned salad just gets in the way of a good burger, so I go for double cheese, pickles and A1 sauce.
A clear winner.
As I said, they haven't hit Europe yet, but bookmark the page for your next trip across the pond.
You'll love me forever.

Ahhh that burger looks amazing! Why is all the good stuff always in America?! x
ReplyDeleteAmazing!
ReplyDeleteI'll send this to my cousin in Florida, he'll die with happiness! xx
Ooohh dirty places are my absolute favourite! I'm a street food girl all the way! My hubby (www.lostinthelarder.com) is out in Kansas at the moment for the biggest BBQ festival in the world, the American Royal so I will be sure to send him this way to take a look at your recommendation!

Five Guys is heaven in a brown bag!! We recently got a 5 Guys where I live. I have been there several times. The burgers are incredible. The amount of fries they give you is insane. Your post made me want a burger. I think I will go today at lunch!!!
ReplyDeleteOh my god, I'm so jealous!!
ReplyDeleteOh 5 guys! I can never eat there because I'm super duper allergic to peanuts, but it's huge among my friends. Have you ever had a burger at the Shake Shack in NYC? That's my fave :)
ReplyDeleteMy boyfriend is actually deathly deathly allergic to peanuts too, but for some reason he's completely fine at 5guys!
ReplyDeleteReally weird (do not try at home!)
Never been to shake shack, will give it a go! xx
How do you manage to make even fast food look amazing?!
ReplyDeleteDamn this looks greasy, in a good way. I'm hitting LA in a few weeks so I'll look out for one. May try to avoid telling people that 'I ate 5 guys and it was dirty' though.
ReplyDeleteI think I'm actually drooling right now... that burger!!! Those fries!!!
ReplyDeleteActually I heard from Tom Byng who runs Byron that Five Guys are looking at sites in the UK, so rejoice Rose...
ReplyDeleteYou even make fast food sexy.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry to hear they aren't in the UK yet! :(
ReplyDeleteI have one right down the street...and it is greasy and oh so delicious. I love Five Guys. Great hangover cure too! No joke. :)
We have 5 guys in Canada now- also allergic to peanuts but am ok there- very strange!!!! It's an amazing place tho - go 4 times a week sometimes ...... Yum
ReplyDeleteyou should check out in-n-out. i think it's mostly a west coast thing, but i like it better than 5 guys.
ReplyDeleteMy husband and I grew up just outside DC where 5 Guys started. A father started them and gave each original location to one of his sons to manage. It was a fave spot for lunch during high school and I even went for Homecoming once. You have to eat the fries quickly or the bag turns oily and falls apart. ;o)

I just found this blog, the first thing I found was the recipe for Slutty Brownies, next was about Croatia and I'll be going there in September. and I found a post about Five Guys. Greatest Burger Place ever! I'm an american living in England and I plan on going to Five Guys as soon as I can once I get home. This is my new favorite Blog!
ReplyDeleteBest Burger Place in the world ever - we visited the one in Georgetown, Washington DC whilst on a Hurricane Irene sponsored extension to our honeymoon last summer.
ReplyDeleteBrilliant place - excellent food - refills - great fries - excellent staff. Brilliant value too.
Mmmm American burger . . . Another winner is In & Out Burger. Om nom nom!
ReplyDeleteLoved this post. I spent many years outside DC in the Arlington area with one of the original 5 guys location. It was a little corner shop in a strip mall. No where to really sit, dark, with peanut shells all over the floor. Great to grab and run before a night of drinking. After a few years all over the states, we came back from Hawaii to find 5 guys all over the place. They are still good, but just can't compare to the original!
ReplyDeleteA London opening is planned for Spring 2013 - great news...
ReplyDeleteNext time you get a chance, get the Cajun fries and wait till they're cold to eat them! Sounded strange when a friend told me to try them (plus I'm not the biggest fan of eating cold food that is supposed to be hot), but they are insanely addictive!
