five guys...

so my brother, ty got this sweet new job and he had his first day on monday!
ted and i decided to join ty and sierra in celebrating his new job, by going out to din din.
ty got to pick wherever he wanted to go...and he chose "Five Guys".
now, i am not a big hamburger fan, nor am i into eating meat lately...
but, it was ty's celebration, so i was all down for it.


i really liked the bulletin boards that had Five Guys testimonies everywhere.
some of the drawings reminded me of Napoleon Dynamite, when he draws that legit Liger.
actually, i am pretty sure that is a Liger...or a maybe a dog. whichever.



the fries were rather tasty.
i didn't eat too many, but the ones that i had were deliciouspice.
mmm....empty carbs.





you can get whatever toppings you want on your burger.
ty told me the hot sauce was amazing, so i got that instead of ketchup.
shut the front door, because it was AMAZING.
i also got lettuce, tomato, and grilled mushrooms.
want to know what sucks? they forgot my mushrooms. lamespice.





ted ordered grilled 'shrooms as well, and they forgot to put them on too. what the crap?
ted also got jalapeno. i think his mouth was on fire. but that's cool.


all in all...the burger was really tasty. and ted loved his too.
however, i felt like i was sweating grease when i was working out this morning.
ew. i know. ew.
I will stick with portabello burgers! yumspice.

Katie said...

5 Guys is my favorite burger place, hands down. I'm glad you got to experience it's deliciousness.

Amy said...

Why is it that the fattiest food, is the yummiest? Sucks.

Allison said...

It looks DELICIOUS. Strange- the decor looks like In-N-Out! :D

Kate Weber said...

Those fries looked so fabulous! I think I'd only be able to eat maybe ten before feeling overloaded by grease, but they looked fab! I'll have to try a 5 guys if I ever see one.

Melissa said...

oh my gosh, i just ate at five guys on saturday! (:
that place is so good, but the burgers seem so huge!
soo much food. i can never finish it.
the burger you got looks delish, i must try it!

Little Debi said...

Oh man. I want a burger so bad!
Stupid salad for dinner. :(

Erin said...

ahh!! i love five guys. soo good. but i always have to go pop over to exerciseland afterwards for a nice long time. worth it. :D

Trina said...

Oh I love Five Guys!! Their stuff is real and real good! It's not healthy, but I always console myself by remembering that its probably 10 times better for me than the Red Robin across the street. And cheaper, and yummier. Can't beat that combination. you should def go back and make sure they put the mushrooms on your burger next time, because their shrooms are boss!

Cajsa said...

So so yummy! I love me some "Five Guys." The cajun fries are the best!!

The Boob Nazi said...

I reeeeeeeeeaaaaally want a hamburger now.
Ted's hair reminds me of someone I know, but I can't remember who. Now that's going to bother me.

Marci Darling said...

5 guys is yummy...everyone here in auburn treats it like it is the food of the gods or something. But I can only eat it like, once a year, maybe :)

Paula said...

I'm so hungry I would eat a burger. A veggie one, of course.

Emily Sue said...

i FUHHRREAAKINGG love five guys!!! mmm!! haha your so healthy i love it!! i would eat a hamburger and LOADS of fries and be fine with it!! p.s cute bangs.

kelzone said...

favorite testimonial: "i had strep throat and still ate my 5 guys."

whatscookinmykitchen said...

The veggie burger there is really good! It is not a normal veggie burger, you can just get any veggies you want grilled then they put it on a bun. I had peppers, mushrooms, jalepenos, onions, lettuce and tomato and it was delish!

Brea said...

5 guys?? I've never heard of it... is it in Mesa? I want to try it when we come home it looks YUMMY! :)

Anna said...

my mom makes fresh cut fries like this everyday for my brother. one of the perks of living with a caterer!

Amber Tidd Murphy said...

I had "Five Guys" last night. It was so amazing.

I think I gained four pounds before I finished my last bite, though... because my hubs ordered me the giant size burger and I ate every bite.

(We split one order of fries, though. I DO have my limits!)

Molly said...

Five Guys is my favorite place in the WORLD for burgers, especially after a friday morning swim practice and I'm starving.....Must....Have....Five Guys......O.O

Brown Girl said...

Yes burgers while good will make you have grease poo and that's not good. Not good at all. Congrats on the job for your bro!

amanda leeann said...

i love 5 guys. & now i want a hamburger. it's 9 in the am. something is wrong with me, lol.

Jenny said...

5 guys is sooooo good! YUMO!

Colt said...

5 Guys was one of my favorite burger places when I lived in Washington DC. I was really excited when they came to Utah, but also not thrilled that now everyone knows my special chain.

Lauren said...

Five Guys is yummy, I want to go, but I have zero self control and would eat way too many fries.

Empty calories always seem to be my favorite treats... and that makes me really sad.

Anna said...

i recently discovered five guys too! yum...i'm hungary just looking at it!

Crystal said...

That is the biggest cup of fries I have ever seen. I've been craving fries...I miss them.

cris (cristal) said...

Claire said...

I've never even heard of 5 Guys... hm. I hate that feeling, when you work out and you feel like you are sweating grease... bleh!!

Higgs Happenin's said...

I just went there on Saturday for hubby's birthday. SO FREAKIN' GOOD! I actually like it way better than in-n-out

MoreThanMyOwnLife said...

5 Guys is the best place to get a greasy, fattening, scrumptious burger! Oh and there fries are super yummy! It is one of those places you go rarely since it is so bad for you, but so worth it. I'm sorry they forgot your mushrooms, they are my favorite topping there!

Jen said...

Never heard of 'Five Guys' but I LOVE burgers. Where is this place?

Britney Jean said...

i've never heard of that place either....weird.

kate lines said...

mmmmmmmmmmmmmm.


thats really all i need to day.

Jenn said...

Mmm...I love 5 guys..but I hate when I leave there, because I smell like grease. But their fries do rock! :)

Queen Baby said...

Sabatoge! I thought this was supposed to be part inspirational diet blog. I did not want to go bc Obama totally went there in DC when he was on NBC. So it has been super trendy, but now I want it. Those close up pictures have totally thrown me over the edge!

I do have to add that your "sweating grease" comment,towards the end of your post, did stop me from going there right now.

Whitney said...

Five Guys is the best. I love ONLY A1 sauce and grilled mushrooms on my cheeseburger. Because it's awesome.

Lula! said...

We love 5 Guys. We rarely eat there, as the food is nothing short of a heart attack waiting to happen, but when we do go, we love it.

It's a seriously southern Baptist kind of thing. Like...you can't be Baptist and not love 5 Guys. In the south, at least--which is where they originated. Of course. Wahoooooooo!

Rebecca said...

The fries....oh my goodness, the fries look INCREDIBLE!

I have some sweet potatoes and I'm going to try out the oven-baked sweet potato fries with avocado sauce I found on recipezaar. I need fries stat! With low-fat versions of the sour cream and mayo for the sauce, of course.

Come to think of it, it sounds like something you and Ted might like. http://www.recipezaar.com/sweet-potato-oven-fries-with-avocado-dip-394518

Rebecca said...

I mean cream cheese, not sour cream. *facepalm*

siovhan said...

that looks DELICIOUS.

rockiestwitwin said...

mmmmmm Five Guys is delicious! but only once in a while you're right about it also being disgustingly greasy!

Congrats to Ty on his new job too :)

PS these pics of you are SO cute with the new bangs, love it!

<3, Deeds :)

Five guys has excellent burgers- they remind me of when my grandparents would grill out. I think their fries suck, though. I guess it's personal preference.

Laura Sue said...

we recently got a 5 guys. i'm not too impressed. i do agree that the fries are oh so good but i think the cost is too much for what you get!

Monica said...

I have tried 5 guys... not a fan and kinda pricey. Me, my sister Krystal and myself AGREE that the burger buns are to small. I LOVE LOVE LOVE In-n-out and it's yummy everytime and cheap! After eating 5 guys I felt GA-ROSS!!! =( I will say that their fries are pretty dang good compared to In-n-out's fries =)

organicnicole said...

Haven't been to 5 guys yet, do you have Smashburger? So good!

artsyesque said...

Five Guys!! I <3 Five Guys!! And you weren't missing anything with the mushrooms. They are the one thing that is not as awesomespice as the rest. The best way to eat their fries is to dump out the container of them onto the torn-open paper bag. And salt lightly. Just saying'...

Rissy said...

nothing beats Five Guys for a "bad food" day haha I like mine paired with baskin robbins... which is great because they are conveniently located next to each other.. wow I sound fat

Shelbie said...

Scott and I love Five Guys! It kicks In and Outs Trash. oh and the Jalepenos really do burn your mouth because you are expecting the normal pickled jalepenos, so all the sudden your chewing and the flame hits your lips and you realize that it is a raw flamin jalepeno! so you have to take them all off. i did at least. cool story hansel.

Bekah Buttons said...

i keep forgetting you have bangs so when i see a picture of you i jump in my seat and my heart races cuz i'm scared a rando has taken over your blog..
then i realize it's you and i smile:)

truth

Abby said...

haaa i love that you said "shut the front door." I've never heard that, hilarious!

yummy fast food. haven't had it in a looong time. couple weeks at least! :)

Emily said...

Portabellos are the yum-bomb-diggity.

Emily said...

I love Sierra's makeup and earrings :]

I have been wanting to eat at 5 Guys for SO long...one day I will ;D

Rheannan said...

Mmmmm fiveguys!! Five guys is my favvy fav. 5 guys actually began about twenty minutes away from my home town and one of my good friends dated one of the 'five guys'. I was so excited when I saw they built one on mill!! They also have delicious hot dogs there! If you're a hot dog fan you should totally try one!!
