            Not in the West Coast. Both are about ~7 for the base burger and cap out at about ~12 for the highest menu item without extras.

                …about $30, you mean. I mean if you’re trying to go for 2k+ kcal per person you’d hit 50+,but a normal person would have a hard time eating more than 15$ of five guys.

          Ah yes, Five Guys. Where the fries turn into a pile of greasy mush if not eaten within the first five minutes your order is ready. But you’ve completed that task, you’re now full-up on fried potato, but now your burger is cold or at best half eaten. Nobody should have to eat with the gusto of a professional contestant just to make the most of things. It’s a meal that conspires against itself, every single time.

          If you skip the fries, the burgers are actually pretty good and can enjoy it at any pace.

            I’m sorry you’re too used to frozen preserves potatoes from Sysco or other manufacturers of potato-like rectangles to appreciate real fries.

              Fresh-cut, single-cooked fries are the worst kind. Soft, greasy, unsatisfying.

      Yes, but to be fair, it’s peak mid. Most other chains do a worse job on burgers, and to do better, you have to go substantially upmarket.
