23. I tried them once. Wasn't impressed. Never went back

Tried Five Guys twice. The first I was unimpressed. The second, after I told them of my sensitivity to onions, I discovered they used the same spatulas to assemble my order that they'd used to try up their onions.

But I can't say I'm boycotting them when the nearest In-n-Out is 100 miles from home. And what was the nearest Five Guys was fifty miles away. It had opened across the street from a beloved mom-and-pop burger joint. The Guys failed before the pandemic. Nipp's is still going strong.

And while I did enjoy Chick-fil-A before I found out about them, they are also geographically undesirable. And I prefer Popeyes anyway; it's a better sandwich, doesn't come with a side of hate, and you can get one on a Sunday.
