    One of the tricks with five guys is there are some things you just can't order on their burgers unless you're eating it in the store and getting it out of the wrapper as soon as possible. Mushrooms and grilled onions are great on their burgers, but those two drench the buns if you take more than like 5 minutes to get it out of the wrapper.

      Yup. I love the All the Way but when I DoorDash it I just get it dressed with ketchup onion mustard and pickles. The ATW doesn’t hold up to travel. I do wish they could let you order drinks from the Coke Freestyle fountain (Coke with lemon, kids. I wish they put either that or the diet version back out. I loved it sugar or aspartame)

    Fun facts about Five Guys: I worked at 5 guys for 2 years. We smash all our patties in house. We don't season any of the meat. We use kosher hotdogs and slice them before the grill. Every patty is between 6-8oz per bc we ball them first and weigh them then smash them.
    Do NOT get a cheese burger. The upgrade isn't worth it because the most inexpensive ingredient at 5 guys is actually the cheese slices. It's not worth the extra 2$ for a cheeseburger. Every burger at 5 guys is a "double" unless you specifically get a "little" cheeseburger. Also for the fries.
    We cut them and shift them through a 10k potato cleaner around 4 to 6 times in water until the water runs clear. All potatoes are hand cut in a slicer not by a machine. Usually there's a designated slicer for the morning shift to cut all the potatoes for the day. For every bag we cut is roughly 3 gallons of cut potato fries. On busy days we might cut 12 bags a day. We have to cut it, fill the tank up, filter out starch and shift it then turn the shift machine off drain it and do that about 3 more times. Then do that for every bag. Then fill up buckets and put the fries in that buck and put them in the cooler walk in. Every fry you eat is cut that day in house. As fresh as it gets. The area we get the potatoes from is written on a dry erase board every few days after we get a new batch.
    We do have a secret menu item. The grilled cheese burger. Yes exactly as it sounds. 2 grilled cheese that make the buns then the actual burger with cheese and whatever else you want on it.
    Food hack. Bring the fries home and use the air fryer to reheat them and it's perfect. Use HIDDEN VALLEY RANCH. For dipping. There is no ranch at five guys but it's by far the best thing for them.
    One more thing. To cook the fries they "precook" them by feel. We squeeze the fries right out of the fryer with a gloved hand to feel the texture of the outside. Then they cool for minimum 5min before making the final cook where the inside is soft like mashed potatoes. There's not a single timer it's all based of feel by the fry cook that day so every batch of fries you get is special. They have a standard for a perfect fry every day because it's so important to them.
    Rant over. Enjoy your 5 guys

      I don’t open anymore but I can say that everything that you said is true..
      Although most of our customers get mad when they see the prices, it’s because our food ain’t frozen, EVER. If there’s one thing I would make corporate change is the cheese!! We don’t use real cheese and only use the process cheese which I think is ridiculous for the price customers are paying for a cheese burger, they should AT LEAST use real cheese.
      We are also about to go under Reno and about to start making sweet tea in house instead of the nasty gold peak tea, which I think is great for any sweet tea fanatics!

    I've been watching this channel for a while now and now just realized that two days before this video uploaded I'd just bought a 1/2'' piece of steel plate for the BBQ and that changed this year's BBQ game!! Since then, everything gets cooked in the charcoal BBQ and stuff like the onions and mushrooms really do get their time to shine on the hot plate!! Meat is also amazing! I heat up the cast iron ribbed plate over the charcoal and just mash the patties with it on the plate, they sear instantly and you get all the beautiful tasties from the stuff you cooked just before... Beautiful!!!!!!

    I used to work at five guys. I'd always season my patties for me with either s&p or the Cajun fry seasoning. Also, the burger doesn't get "smashed" until after the flip. They have a special tool to make sure the patty isn't smashed too flat

      I've heard from other five guys cooks that they weren't supposed to s7p the burgers. "Our beef is so good it doesn't need anything else." Which is the dumbest shit I've ever heard of. The best meat in the world deserve salt. I've only gone a couple of times and every time there was no salt to be found on the burger. Personally I'd rather have a McDonalds burger because at least that shit has salt.

    There is a reason a lot of fast food chains under season their foods. fries and patties mostly. They then include some extra salt packet along with your serviette. And when looking at the health or nutrient specs, your meal is super low in sodium, while the chain knows you just going to add the extra salt anyways. As long as they do not add it to your food, they do not have to declare the sodium intake as part of the product.

    Here are some fun fact about five guys:
    1.Five Guys started in Arlington, VA, in 1986.
    It's a family-owned business. Four brothers, along with their parents Jerry and Janie Murrell, started it from the ground up. Years later, a fifth brother was born - hence the name.
    2.The family strives to keep a mom-and-pop feel to it. In a video interview with Forbes, Five Guys CEO Jerry Murrell said, "I've always noticed, in every small town, there's always a place where you can get a good burger; usually a mom-and-pop place. I thought, 'Just have a place like that.'"
    3. Five Guys uses fresh ground beef with an 80/20 ratio (lean meat to fat ratio) for its burgers, and employees form the patties by hand every day.
    4.There are no freezers in Five Guys locations.
    5.Five Guys only uses peanut oil.

    You are my absolute hero! I love how you always skillfully make these things better.
    I am a bit disappointed though that almost always “better” for you seems to mean “bigger”. Waaay bigger. I think your stuff is always perfect enough that you don’t have to turn this into car sized portions.
    I mean … who can eat this mountain of a burger. I think you don’t need size as a parameter for “better”.

      Same! I live in Germany and pretty much every local burger place makes their buns that way. They're even drier than the regular American ones bc the dough is really dense. Kinda like regular German bread and t doesn't work for a burger.
      The fact that they barely add any sauce doesn't help. I don't understand why they're so popular literally to the point where they taste the same everywhere.

    It's too damn tall by far.
    I suggest removing 33% of the bun's height (simply make the bun flatter). If it's still too tall, make these meat patties - which are fairly thick, considering there are two of them - flatter and wider, even if it means one side is less well seared (or put it in the fridge prior to searing, so it won't get over cooked).
    If even then it's too tall, chop up that slice of tomato and mix it with the onion.
