Five Guys
While Howard Stern is on vacation I listen to Bubba The Love Sponge. For the past few weeks he’s been raving about this burger joint he frequents named Five Guys. It got to the point where he was talking about it every day, about the particular configurations of burgers he would get. Then people would start calling in saying things like “I had never heard about Five Guys before, found out there’s one near me, tried it, and it was amazing”. After a couple days of that a manager from a Five Guys called in and they had a discussion about how the burgers are made, if there were any special ingredients, and what makes it just so damn good. The Bubba crew got on the Five Guys website while they were on the air and commented they were located in roughly half the country; so the search was on.
And it just so happened there were two located very nearby where I was going to be for a trip, so accommodations were made to facilitate a visit. When a 400lb man tells you about a really good burger place you go! Let me begin by saying that the default burger starts at two patties. Also notice how the burger was wrapped in foil.
Apparently here is the middle part where I was going to go into intricate detail describing the awesomeness of the various flavors, and thus why I hadn’t actually posted this yet. I don’t quite remember the exact experience at this point but suffice it to say it was legen – wait for it – dary (hmm, perhaps that certain How I Met Your Mother episode was about this place? Thankfully, at least if you have one somewhat close by, they’re not nearly as hard to find)
So if you ever get the chance definitely make an effort to go hit one up. And if you’re lucky enough to have one in your area try not to go too often

5 Guys was by far one of the best burger experiences of my life. I totally agree that this place should be frequented by anyone looking for an excellent burger experience.
