I live in the Chicago area.
There's a "Five Guys" right here in Schaumburg, so I looked it up online. A cheeseburger runs $11.69, bacon cheeseburger $13.59. So the total here would likely be about the same. I would consider Five Guys kind of high-end when it comes to burger joints; most places would run less. Okay, it sounds crazy expensive, but it isn't the restaurant's fault. Quality ground beef is quite expensive. Their food costs must be crazy.
