Five guys is a local place? I've eaten at Five Guys in Blacksburg, VA, Howell, NJ, Baltimore, MD, and Philadelphia, PA. I would consider them a chain, by now...not in the same way as Hardee's or Mickey D's, but they're constantly expanding.

I liked Five Guys at first, but now I avoid them and make my own burgers. I don't like feeling like I'm going to have a heart attack every time I step in there. I'm still in my 20s, lol.

Well that's more what I meant - that I wouldn't compare them to Hardees or Mickey D's, etc. It wasn't a precise choice of words on my part.

The one in the Hartford area in CT is actually REALLY good.

ETA: They're definitely not healthy - the fries especially.

Understood. You mean the bag dripping with peanut oil and potato grease?

Those fries are so good. I just can't keep hurting my body, lol.

Haha, yep, that one. The fries are excellent - the problem is they give you so many of them, and before you know it, you've finished them.

The fries are excellent, though - I'd put them up there with the Bristol Lounge (Four Seasons in Boston) and Radius (also in Boston) as some of the best fries I've ever had.

ETA: I heard the fries at Anthony Bourdain's restaurants (Les Halles) are also pretty incredible.
