Former Five Guys employee, you were right about the fries. Cut in store, water bath to remove all the starch, fried twice (some stores will have whole bags of potatoes next to the free peanuts) Every other veggie is also cut in store, even the fruit for the milkshakes is cut up and pureed, patties are also rolled and weighed in the morning Also, we measure out the size of the fries and then add an additional scoop on top to really fill up the bag. Five guys is veeeery routine-heavy and prides itself in cleanliness, by far the cleanest restaurant experience I've ever had, I struggle to call it fast food despite it being a franchise that also pushes a 8 minute limit on orders. They don't have drive-thrus and all ingredients arrive fresh in the night/morning before open, a lot of prep occurs through-out all hours of the day. It's high quality burger/fries, even if it is a bit more expensive.
i gotta say it was my fav work experience so far, and i worked a lot of part time jobs up until this year. very stressful but you always had something to do + creating fun combinations with your co-workers like the snickers shake and stuff like that really made all the routine so easy and almost secondary compared to the memories we made together .. like prepping for the five guys olympics :')
I worked there too sure its a little pricey but if you know fast food and how it works anyone would understand why it’s that price so many other fast food places use low quality ingredients, some staff do not care at all, theres no real skill and preparation in a place like McDonalds, so there you get what you pay for and at five guys you also do get what you pay for, like they said it’s like a restaurant price except the speed you get the food and style fits in the “fast food” category and someone like me who’s not a big fan or burgers they do have great burgers in my opinion, and usually some of the best employees and they will do anything to make the customer happy, they always offer free stuff if there’s an inconvenience great place to work would never work at a fast food place again unless it was that

@@monkeyman2918 strawberry banana and oreo was the favourite of one of my co-workers lmao, she went CRAZY over it. peanut butter bacon is a huge classic though, feel like they should have tried that in the tier list instead of plain bacon
That comment you read was not wrong, i used to work there, and they get potatos straight from idaho, cut them in store and soak them in water. After that, you fry them for 2 minutes and pull them out for at least 1 minute, and then you fry them until golden brown. The real reason you get so much is because they dont want to serve cold and limp fries, so we're instructed to throw as much as possible to avoid waste.
And how the fuck did I have to scroll this far to find this comment?? 😂 I don't even like tomato soup but what rock has he lived under his whole life? Somebody needs to give him a grilled cheese with tomato soup, he's been missing out
My biggest request for these videos is better audio for the people behind the camera. There's so much good shit being said, and sadly a lot of it get drowned out while Charlie or Matt laughs. Please, please add a mic that catches them just a bit better
As a former five guys employee for several years. Yes potatoes are rinsed and cleaned in-store then cut with a dice block by hand. Then they are spun around either by hand or with a machine, depending on the store to clean out the starch. After that they sit in cold water until they are ready for frying. Wich is done in peanut oil for say 2 and half minutes. ( or at least you get a slight color change and the bubbles receed. Then we would hang them up and let them cook internally for a minimum 5 minutes. Until they are ready for the second fry for a similar amount of time.
Very important to note here that the second fry should be at a higher temperature (about 180°C after a first fry of 160°C). Think of it as analogous to reverse-searing a steak, you're cooking the inside and then putting on a good crust.
@@grimecube I am a Shift Leader at my local Five Guys. In the training, it says all fryers are always set to 345°F (173.33°C), no matter if it's a pre-cook or a final cook. The reason for this is to have a more consistent and equal cooking of the fries. It's also so that the cooking process will take around the same amount of time for the pre-cook and the final cook.
ive worked at a five guys before for a short while, im not sure about everywhere else but, the place where i worked at, they had their kicthen, their tables, everything clean, dated, like it was TOP Notch. i felt so comfortable eating what was servered without having to worry about it and it was a plus that it was good food and best fries, so fucking well seasoned
I also worked at five guys for a couple years and you're right, we spent 2 hours at least every night cleaning every single surface in that restaurant. super clean and fresh food too.
@@arandomvacuum9721 yeah, they were strict where i worked at to keep everything cleaned and i respected that, food might be a little expenisve but for me, i think its worth it.
Can confirm. Ive been working at five guys for 4 yrs and its definitely one of the nicer fast food places. They also give there workers free food!! Unlike McDonalds... Wish it wasnt so expensive tho but I get it.
I go to five guys every now and then, and I have never seen it messy. And I see them cleaning almost every time, despite not seeing a thing. It's always seems very professional.

So chef here, the reason the fries are double fried is the first is a blanching to get the fries cooked at a low temperature with out crisping. The second frying it the actually crisp the already blanched fries.
Former 5 Guys fry guy: You see the potato's they use around the store and the type is written on a sign on the wall. They pick a potato grown usually up north in cold environments so they are more dense. They cut them in the store with an industrial french-fry cutter. They wash the fries until all the starch is washed out. The fries sit in water until we dump them into the tray ready to be fried. They use peanut oil to fry them. They kind of blanch the fries with an initial fry and then they let them sit, longer the better. Then they do like a 3 minute fry to finish it off. Fries should have crunch outside and smooth mushy potato center.
@@tractorcat6414 I agree I have made so much food using ingredients, they said they didn't like, for friends and my family. Told them it was something else and they smashed the whole meal.

As one of the five guys myself (the fourth one) , yes potatoes are rinsed and cleaned in-store then cut with a dice block by hand. Then they are spun around either by hand or with a machine, depending on the store to clean out the starch. After that they sit in cold water until they are ready for frying.

I've hears the meat isn't seasoned and it's very low fat so doesn't taste great anyway. Not sure why people would pay a high price for a worse burger. Imo 5 guys is literally for people with too much money. If you can afford to eat there you have no idea what struggling financially is.
@@thatoneguychad420 You already throw your entire point out of the window the moment you say “I’ve heard the meat isn’t seasoned.” So you haven’t even had it but you just got told that that’s what it’s like? You’re struggling to actually make any point whatsoever. They do 100% season the meat because I’ve actually had Five Guys instead of just guessing what it tastes like. And I have 100k in student loan debt, and can still afford it pretty easily.
@West_Out12209 there's a thing called Google with which you can find out information from companies about their products. Well you should he paying your debts instead of eating pretentious burgers 🤣🤣 and yes you are correct saying I haven't eaten there because why the fuck would I? BTW bring in debt and having spare income per month are two very different things. You must understand this. I could have 0 debts but still only have £2 left over at the end of each month after bills and expenses. Or I could be £100,000 in debt, pay off X per month but still have £200 per month left to spend on over priced food.
Working at five guys for the better half of a year, the prices are definitely outrageous but the burger is also expensive cause all the toppings are free. At McDonald’s you’d have to pay an extra .50-2 dollars for additional toppings but not at five guys. It’s practically a waste of money to NOT get toppings. There’s also insane labor cost since we roll and stamp each individual patty in the morning instead of getting them in a big frozen box from a truck.
As one of many people who don't like all sorts of extra toppings, that's such a BS excuse. "Free toppings" is just an excuse to overcharge people who don't get then which ultimately gets them more money
@@KyubiCloaks you could look at it this way, but the quality of the toppings is also superior to most fast food places. I’d say you’re in the minority of not wanting “all those extra toppings”, at least in Five Guy’s demographic. But as Charlie says the extra 5 dollars for a better quality burger is definitely worth it IF you have Five Guys money.
@@dorya.2189Well, you don't gotta. As Matt said, I understand if you don't want to pay that much for a burger, but the extra money you pay is shown in the quality of the burger
@@dorya.2189 ok but if you love simplicity why are you going to five guys? you can get an equally tasty burger for less if you simply cook it at home. if you love simplicity and are unwilling to cook for the special occasion you find yourself craving a high quality burger I would hazard to call you childish, for both being picky and being unwilling to compromise.
I actually really enjoy watching the proper videos after/in addition to the uncut members ones because I enjoy knowing exactly which pieces get cut lol

hey charles just wanted to make a suggestion why not just make an entire food review channel i feel like that would be amazing because me personally i love watching these and would love more of them
Here in the Netherlands, going out to eat 5 guys will cost you an arm and a leg, probably a kidney too. But it is just superior quality fastfood. We don't eat it often, but when we so, it fills the soul.
Their milkshakes are pretty insane. Especially with the prices. But I don't like to go there, since I think their fries are too salty and when I asked for less salt they oversalt my fries. So fuck them. This is the Netherlands, their fries is just on par with Bram.
I'm Dutch too and the first time I got Five Guys I went while high. It was the best burger I ever had (grew up in a small town with just McDonalds)... I ended up eating so much that I threw up then still sat down to finish my fries after 😂
I looked up 2 things I would want and it was over $20 😭😭 But I believe it’s worth it, so I’d likely get five guys for lunch on Fridays when I start working (even though 100% it’ll be $30 by that time
I worked at Yardhouse for 6 years and we sold several grilled cheese with tomato bisque, I hope Charlie and Matt would be willing to try it sometime 🙏🏻 much love to this channel you all do amazing work
It's incredible how little their taste pallete has evolved in over 30 years of life. The only thing remotely accurate in this video is the cajun fries being pretty damn good.
most places that even sell them charge you over $5 for 1. When i worked at a restaurant we didnt sell them, but we had a regular that would always come in and order chocolate milk and a grilled cheese (we didnt even sell chocolate milk either). The owner would charge the dude $4 for each and leave a tip, spending $10 everyday for something that would cost less then a dollar to make at home.
I think they're meant really just for picky children. One of my little brothers staunchly refused to eat a burger until very recently because they didn't like them. I also thought he was insane.This is also the reason burger restaurants often offer chicken strips. I have to assume it's for the situation of a whole family eating but they've got that one spoiled brat who will only eat things that are orange, because if you went to a Five Guys and ordered a grilled cheese and fries by yourself and you didn't have autism spectrum disorder or something similar, people would think you're a lunatic.
Former five guys supervisor here, not like... super loyal? I haven't worked there for like seven years lol. But the food is genuinely amazing. To answer fry questions: Fries are fried twice. First time is a blanch, then they cool, and when you fry them the second time they get super crispy on the outside while being fluffy and like "mashed potatoes" on the inside. They also cut potatoes in house and everybody hates doing it. I once caught my thumb in the potato cutter and that was horrible. I could play tic tac toe on my thumb for months. The hot dogs are fine. They slice them in half because they cook more evenly. They don't hold a candle to the burgers, but sometimes a kid wants a hot dog, or like... someone in the group doesn't like them. The grilled cheese slaps. Yall got screwed by Uber eats. Here's a trick - ask for a patty on it. freaking amazing. The shakes are good. I only made them for like, a week, when opening a new store, and quit before my store got them. You can get bacon in them, and it adds absolutely nothing but people do it all the time because "lol bacon milkshake" and they waste one of their included toppings. Bacon is supposed to always be crispy. I prefer soggy bacon. That's all I can really say on that haha Oh, and the extra fries in the bag aren't really extra. They just look like extra because they put a useless cup in there to make it look like there's extra fries. But they're fucking great fries, so it's worth it. In my opinion, the surprise hit is the lettuce wrap. I always assumed I hated Lettuce on a burger, because I never fucking grew up. The Lettuce wrap taught me I was wrong - hamburger grease does something to lettuce I can't explain.
if only you guys had known about the patty melt burger u can get… i used to work at 5 guys and once i found out about it i never got the regular burgers again. it blew up on tiktok about 2-3 years ago i think because people came in asking for “the tiktok burger” when i worked there, but they were referring to the patty melt. they basically take the buns and flip them upside down the same way they make the buns for the grilled cheese. this is so that the tops of the buns are crispy and flat so that they don’t get all wrinkly/soggy like the normal buns can especially when being crinkled up by the foil. but then you just put how many patties you want in the middle of them along with any other normal toppings you’d get. i think if you guys would’ve been able to get a patty melt burger it would’ve made you reconsider which one was the best! also they do fry the fries twice, but the first time you fry them, it’s more of a pre-cooking process. they’re still a little raw and definitely not all the way cooked yet when you take them out the first time. the second time is when they actually get fried. i don’t remember why they do this, but they’re good as shit so i never questioned the process.
[True story] A coworker never heard of the burger restaurant “Five Guys” And his daughter told him “I had five guys last night and I’m not feeling well now.”

For what its worth Charlie, the first fry on the potatoes is called blanching. It prevents the potatoes from oxidizing while in the fridge. You don't need to do it if you arent storing the potatoes in-between cutting and cooking.

Charlie and 5 guys in his mouth, classic combo
Good comment, bad replies rough
6 if you include his date 😂
this is making me scream internally
If you get a bacon cheeseburger you can get as much bacon as you want. I don't know if they mentioned this, but you should abuse it immediately.
Lie
As one of the five guys myself (the fourth one) , yes potatoes are rinsed and cleaned in-store then cut with a dice block by hand. Then they are spun around either by hand or with a machine, depending on the store to clean out the starch. After that they sit in cold water until they are ready for frying. Which is done in peanut oil for say 2 and half minutes. ( or at least you get a slight color change and the bubbles receed. Then we would hang them up and let them cook internally for a minimum 5 minutes. Until they are ready for the second fry for a similar amount of time.
I've hears the meat isn't seasoned and it's very low fat so doesn't taste great anyway. Not sure why people would pay a high price for a worse burger.
Imo 5 guys is literally for people with too much money. If you can afford to eat there you have no idea what struggling financially is.
@@thatoneguychad420 who asked?
@@darkmikey89 your mom
@@thatoneguychad420 You already throw your entire point out of the window the moment you say “I’ve heard the meat isn’t seasoned.” So you haven’t even had it but you just got told that that’s what it’s like? You’re struggling to actually make any point whatsoever. They do 100% season the meat because I’ve actually had Five Guys instead of just guessing what it tastes like. And I have 100k in student loan debt, and can still afford it pretty easily.
@West_Out12209 there's a thing called Google with which you can find out information from companies about their products.
Well you should he paying your debts instead of eating pretentious burgers 🤣🤣 and yes you are correct saying I haven't eaten there because why the fuck would I? BTW bring in debt and having spare income per month are two very different things. You must understand this.
I could have 0 debts but still only have £2 left over at the end of each month after bills and expenses. Or I could be £100,000 in debt, pay off X per month but still have £200 per month left to spend on over priced food.
Working at five guys for the better half of a year, the prices are definitely outrageous but the burger is also expensive cause all the toppings are free. At McDonald’s you’d have to pay an extra .50-2 dollars for additional toppings but not at five guys. It’s practically a waste of money to NOT get toppings. There’s also insane labor cost since we roll and stamp each individual patty in the morning instead of getting them in a big frozen box from a truck.
As one of many people who don't like all sorts of extra toppings, that's such a BS excuse. "Free toppings" is just an excuse to overcharge people who don't get then which ultimately gets them more money
@@KyubiCloaks you could look at it this way, but the quality of the toppings is also superior to most fast food places. I’d say you’re in the minority of not wanting “all those extra toppings”, at least in Five Guy’s demographic. But as Charlie says the extra 5 dollars for a better quality burger is definitely worth it IF you have Five Guys money.
@@mhm.mp4345Some people like myself love simplicity. Why do I gotta “pay extra for free toppings” when I prefer simplicity?
@@dorya.2189Well, you don't gotta. As Matt said, I understand if you don't want to pay that much for a burger, but the extra money you pay is shown in the quality of the burger
@@dorya.2189 ok but if you love simplicity why are you going to five guys? you can get an equally tasty burger for less if you simply cook it at home. if you love simplicity and are unwilling to cook for the special occasion you find yourself craving a high quality burger I would hazard to call you childish, for both being picky and being unwilling to compromise.

9:50 i was thinking the exact same thing as Matt. Almost everything Charlie eats, he hasn't eaten since he was a kid
I’ve seen multiple of cars and rich lifestyle videos, but no video made me more envious than seeing a 5 Guys Tier list
"soggy bacon just feels nice" I think this sentence might never have been said out loud until today
I hate crispy bacon. Not a fan of limp bacon, but some crisp parts with some chew to it is best. Easiest way to get that effect is in the oven.
“I’m not trying to milk you guys for money with memberships” *leaves out the best part of the video for members only*
I think it’s a running bit
I like how with every food episode, they start off separating food and taking independent bites to biting each other's bites
1:50 Charlie eats his burgers vertically
"Maybe bring on a 6th guy who knows how to make a chocolate shake"
Line of the episode.
I actually really enjoy watching the proper videos after/in addition to the uncut members ones because I enjoy knowing exactly which pieces get cut lol
"you ever eat it like corn on the cob?"
"that was revolting."
9:50 I thought that was his armpit hair coming out of his shirt but I realized it’s just his hair lol
when you're in Canada grab the five guys poutine sometimes it's a little too salty but when it's good it's peak.
as an american, poutine is just peak
closest i’ve tried is chili cheese fries from sonic (they took away regular fries it’s only crinkle ones now >:(
Im sorry you had to mortgage your house for this video.
I’m sorry the bots got to ur comment
“Soggy bacon just feels nice” wtf dude
You can really tell who's never eaten at Five Guys when they try to compare a quarterpounder from mcdonalds to a burger thats got 2x as much meat on it
they were comparing it with the double quarterpounder
@@cromche id still bet that the five guys burger has more food on it $ for $ and it tastes better
Mfuckers will really go buy 3 $5 cheesy Gordita crunches and call this expensive
Five guys is better than McDonald’s in every single metric, like the ingredients are actually fresh 😂
@@polygoncoco Price?
A quarter pounder is so much better than a five guys burger it's not even close lmao
My gf loves going to 5 guys, says they always leave her full and satisfied. But never brings me back any and ends up staying for hours there.
🤣🤣
Oh no.
Bro☠️
You should probably join her and get filled up as well
I am speechless💀
2:13 Fast food prices are actually disgustingly high
Its though Uber...
All I’m gonna say is that the bacon burger belongs in S tier hands down. Easily my favorite thing to order at 5 guys
word, when I get my paycheck for the year, I always go blow it on a bacon cheeseburger! only regret is that I then can't eat for a year
bro five guys bacon is better than s tier imo lol
How does someone go 29 years on this planet and not heard of grilled cheese with tomato soup? That’s iconic as fries in ice cream.
As what?
@@Hailstrummsalty fries in vanilla ice cream (preferably bluebell)
Idk abt that last bit
@@burgerking3678 if you have never taken fries and dipped into something like a Wendy’s frosty then I recommend you try it. Sure, it’s not for everyone and you may not like it but just pineapple on pizza you should try it before passing judgment.
@@burgerking3678 Try it
Charlie is just an alien examining what foods people eat. So tomatoes, a vegetable, and cheese an animal lactate product with grass is just unheard of
The best comment was to point out Charlie hasn't heard of dipping grilled cheese in tomato soup, but he's an expert on shooting hot dogs 😂😂😂😂
I need the lore on this gigantic warehouse that Charlie only uses this specific room for food rankings
hey charles just wanted to make a suggestion why not just make an entire food review channel i feel like that would be amazing because me personally i love watching these and would love more of them
Here in the Netherlands, going out to eat 5 guys will cost you an arm and a leg, probably a kidney too. But it is just superior quality fastfood. We don't eat it often, but when we so, it fills the soul.
Their milkshakes are pretty insane. Especially with the prices. But I don't like to go there, since I think their fries are too salty and when I asked for less salt they oversalt my fries. So fuck them. This is the Netherlands, their fries is just on par with Bram.
It's like that everywhere.
I'm Dutch too and the first time I got Five Guys I went while high. It was the best burger I ever had (grew up in a small town with just McDonalds)... I ended up eating so much that I threw up then still sat down to finish my fries after 😂
Five guys is garbage. You can really tell who has rich and who has garbage cuisine culture.
thumbnail looks mad thought provoking and scholarly
Charlie’s and Matt’s friendship is the best thing I’ve ever had the pleasure of witnessing.
Pro: Five guys is so good
Con: It's expensive
I looked up 2 things I would want and it was over $20 😭😭
But I believe it’s worth it, so I’d likely get five guys for lunch on Fridays when I start working (even though 100% it’ll be $30 by that time
Brooo this 5 guys GM had a crush on me so she used to give me the manager discount it was a golden age
it isn't that much more and it is soooo much better

"double frying" is just blanching. All restaurants do this.
all fries are double fried, sometimes triple where they're blanched first.

we needed this. i needed this. it was too expensive that i couldnt try all and check this video is perfect
You guys should do a gluten free vs regular food video! Try the different oreos, pretzels, mac n cheese, etc
Not even Mr. Beast could afford this video 💀

"Maybe they should bring on a sixth guy that knows how to make a chocolate shake." How did that get no laughs??😂

This is perfect timing. We can redo the bidet tier list right after this too
I worked at Yardhouse for 6 years and we sold several grilled cheese with tomato bisque, I hope Charlie and Matt would be willing to try it sometime 🙏🏻 much love to this channel you all do amazing work
Never stop this series
It's incredible how little their taste pallete has evolved in over 30 years of life. The only thing remotely accurate in this video is the cajun fries being pretty damn good.
Paying for a grilled cheese in any capacity is a waste of money.
most places that even sell them charge you over $5 for 1. When i worked at a restaurant we didnt sell them, but we had a regular that would always come in and order chocolate milk and a grilled cheese (we didnt even sell chocolate milk either). The owner would charge the dude $4 for each and leave a tip, spending $10 everyday for something that would cost less then a dollar to make at home.
I think they're meant really just for picky children. One of my little brothers staunchly refused to eat a burger until very recently because they didn't like them. I also thought he was insane.This is also the reason burger restaurants often offer chicken strips. I have to assume it's for the situation of a whole family eating but they've got that one spoiled brat who will only eat things that are orange, because if you went to a Five Guys and ordered a grilled cheese and fries by yourself and you didn't have autism spectrum disorder or something similar, people would think you're a lunatic.
Charlie’s oh after the tomato soup comments was hilarious

theyre gonna go bankrupt from this
19:12 Him saying "it tastes like a man had me dying.
Former five guys supervisor here, not like... super loyal? I haven't worked there for like seven years lol. But the food is genuinely amazing. To answer fry questions: Fries are fried twice. First time is a blanch, then they cool, and when you fry them the second time they get super crispy on the outside while being fluffy and like "mashed potatoes" on the inside. They also cut potatoes in house and everybody hates doing it. I once caught my thumb in the potato cutter and that was horrible. I could play tic tac toe on my thumb for months.
The hot dogs are fine. They slice them in half because they cook more evenly. They don't hold a candle to the burgers, but sometimes a kid wants a hot dog, or like... someone in the group doesn't like them.
The grilled cheese slaps. Yall got screwed by Uber eats. Here's a trick - ask for a patty on it. freaking amazing.
The shakes are good. I only made them for like, a week, when opening a new store, and quit before my store got them. You can get bacon in them, and it adds absolutely nothing but people do it all the time because "lol bacon milkshake" and they waste one of their included toppings.
Bacon is supposed to always be crispy. I prefer soggy bacon. That's all I can really say on that haha
Oh, and the extra fries in the bag aren't really extra. They just look like extra because they put a useless cup in there to make it look like there's extra fries. But they're fucking great fries, so it's worth it.
In my opinion, the surprise hit is the lettuce wrap. I always assumed I hated Lettuce on a burger, because I never fucking grew up. The Lettuce wrap taught me I was wrong - hamburger grease does something to lettuce I can't explain.
I love when they put content behind a pay wall 😍 3:41
love these kinds of videos from you guys! seeing you and the crew is fun!
if only you guys had known about the patty melt burger u can get… i used to work at 5 guys and once i found out about it i never got the regular burgers again. it blew up on tiktok about 2-3 years ago i think because people came in asking for “the tiktok burger” when i worked there, but they were referring to the patty melt. they basically take the buns and flip them upside down the same way they make the buns for the grilled cheese. this is so that the tops of the buns are crispy and flat so that they don’t get all wrinkly/soggy like the normal buns can especially when being crinkled up by the foil. but then you just put how many patties you want in the middle of them along with any other normal toppings you’d get. i think if you guys would’ve been able to get a patty melt burger it would’ve made you reconsider which one was the best!
also they do fry the fries twice, but the first time you fry them, it’s more of a pre-cooking process. they’re still a little raw and definitely not all the way cooked yet when you take them out the first time. the second time is when they actually get fried. i don’t remember why they do this, but they’re good as shit so i never questioned the process.
Five Guys is too expensive I cannot imagine doing this
Gives me a boner everytime cause it’s so good tho
WHO DOESNT CARE + MY CONTENT IS WAY WORSE

Charlie hasn't had chocolate since he was a kid.
He said he could eat chocolate while watching 2 girls 1 cup and “feel nothing” so maybe he’s had it sooner than that.
For what its worth Charlie, the first fry on the potatoes is called blanching. It prevents the potatoes from oxidizing while in the fridge. You don't need to do it if you arent storing the potatoes in-between cutting and cooking.
I’ve been wanting this video
