I'm allergic to peanuts.
I will be sure to remember this, usapatriot.
:hmm:
Still no fries! There have never been fries at Charlie's! Just the best burgers in our particular solar system,imho.
Fries are cooked in peanut oil and they have giant open bins of peanuts around.

However, I didn't think they were the best I've ever eaten. In fact, I probably won't go back there any time soon (was about a 40 minute drive for me, which is generally a bit much when I think "hey, I want a burger!").
IMHO of course
I respect your opinion...dunno if I'd drive 40 min. for Charlies if I didn't have a real hankerin.
BUT you can't just leave that one out there....if Charlies isn't the best you've ever had, you've got to tell us what is!
this will (well, has) turn into yet another In-n-Out vs * bitch fest.
True.... but only because In-n-Out > *.

That being said, since I'm in Atlanta, Five Guys is a decent substitute.
yeah, but the thing is: that's not true at all.... :sneaky:
It's certainly no different than just about any burger joint out there. Plenty of local places with similar prices that far outclass In N Out.
...that being said, a Burgermeister just opened around here. I've heard good things. Anyone?

I was with him till I read this:
Most fast-food restaurants serve dehydrated frozen fries -- that's because if there's water in the potato, it splashes when it hits the oil. We actually soak our fries in water. When we prefry them, the water boils, forcing steam out of the fry, and a seal is formed so that when they get fried a second time, they don't absorb any oil -- and they're not greasy.
Dude, I can see through the bag there is so much grease!
Ahhhhhhhh. for one thing, I've never been to a 5 guys.
So, I was thinking long and hard about burger joints and their practices, then reading the other posts, trying to figure out what the hell prompted his comment, and then deduced that it simply came out of left field.
The food ok but way too expensive. Their little cheeseburger is $4.19 and their regular cheeseburger is $5.59.
looks like prices vary by location

I'd rather pay $2.05 in n out cheeseburger
Well, ok, all (reasonably large) chains?
Besides, you're in the Bay Area, right? California people get all of the cool stuff before we get it on the East Coast.... Trader Joe's I'm looking at you....
I must be on Zin's ignore list , since my post right above usapatriots "Im allergic to peanuts" comment asked if anyone ate the peanuts in the barrels at 5 guys.
Well, I'm from Raleigh. There's been a Trader Joes in the area for a few years now. You sure Atlanta doesn't have one?
besides, I'd trade all the lame overrated west coast franchises for a single Bojangle's in my neighborhood.
If you're eating Five Guys often enough that cost is an issue then your health problems will vastly outweigh your financial ones.
