Yes, they heavily tout the freshness of their products and their quality-control. Also, they cut the potatoes on site, so you can often see a stack of potatoes behind the cashier.
Does Five Guys have secret bible verses hidden on the food wrappers and soda cups?
The Five Guys here makes the divider for the "get food" line out of bags of potatoes, or at least they did when I was there. Also, each bag makes sure it reminds you no less then five times that they're Idaho potatoes. Ironically, I thought the fries were pretty terrible.
I just realized I never tried a KFC Double Down while I was in the US. They don't carry them in China, because KFC doesn't hate its Chinese customer base.
While they might be really cheap, Idaho potatoes are actually really hard to find in Idaho, not so much here, but go up the pan handle they're near impossible to get.
So Greg and my roommate and I went to Five Guys last night... it was a pretty dang good burger. I'd go there again sometime, but it'll probably stay a rare occasion for me. I'm the the BIGGEST fan of burgers, and these were quite expensive!
Yeah, I was going for the whole meal and I ended up with way too much food. I think that's the first time I've ever left a burger joint with left-over fries-- usually I don't have near enough left to save them.
If I do go there again I'll probably get less food with different toppings. It'll be delicious!
I used to work near this place. We'd get food from there for lunch sometimes. Sort of a favorite local grease pit. All this talk of burgers and fries kinda makes me want some now.
This is my breakfast. It is street food at its finest. It is called 鸡蛋饼 (jidanbing), and it roughly translates to 'egg pancake'.
Basically, the cook takes a batter similar to pancake batter, but thinner and more elastic. They spread the batter in a long, thin circle along a flat grilling surface, and then they crack an egg over the top and spread it over the batter. They let it cook for about ten seconds, and then they sprinkle green onions on it and flip it.
Then, they sprinkle on a variety of vegetables and other stuff that you can pick from. Mine has potatoes, cucumbers, and a spicy/sour cabbage, all covered in a light spicy sauce. Then a twist of fried dough is placed in the middle. The whole thing is folded over a couple times, popped in a plastic bag, and served.

Indeed, though I think Arby's pushed the "You need more then one piece of meat" rule a bit far.
If Five Guys was open right now I would walk there and eat burgers.
Seconded.
I mean, seriously, there isn't even any bacon in there.

Or battered sausages.
So I think I win on this one
EDIT: GM btw
It's true. English chips are on their own level of grease and crappiness, that hits the spot so well. Also we don't ruin our pickles with sugar.
That said, Australia has transcended even the English on a couple of points (although they constantly fuck up pickles with sugar).
Australians have made the chip and gravy pizza, with beef. Also the cheese sausage (which is truly the pinnacle of service-station foods).
