I think I will be switching to Burger King

31. The first of the only two times I've been to Five Guys

They were new to the West Coast, and we stopped off in our travels to try one. The windows and walls were covered with self-congratulatory propaganda, including one that proclaimed "We make 'em the way you like: juicy and well-done!" I was curious to see how they could do both. The answer was they can't. They conflate juicy and greasy.

The second-and-final time was when I was again out, was feeling low-blood-sugared and it was next-door to where it been shopping. When I ordered my burger I went to great lengths to make sure they left it the onions (major gastric distress inducing intolerance). When I got my burger and left, I discovered that while they had indeed left off the onions, they'd assembled the burger using the same spatulas they'd used to fry up the onions they use.

Now, as a former restaurant owner, I am sorry when anyone invests and loss their money, but I found it ironic that someone opened up a Five Guys across the street from the local mom-and-pop burger place in the small-but-larger-than-where-I-live town where my specialists work, a few years before the Pandemic. The Five Guys closed within a year (not due to COVID). Nipp's is still there.
