This Is Why Five Guys' Burgers Are So Delicious
When you want to satisfy an intense burger craving, there's one place to go: Five Guys. We all know that a Five Guys burger is amazing, but what exactly makes it so good? Let's talk about the secrets of some of the best burgers around.
Five Guys won The Harris Poll's burger brand of the year award in 2017 and 2018, beating In-N-Out Burger both years, which is no easy feat considering how passionate people are about In-N-Out Burger.
They've also come out on top of 17 other burger chains including the usual suspects, like McDonald's, Burger King, Wendy's, and Carl's Jr., and even the more posh burger spots Whataburger and Shake Shack. And that speaks volumes about their legions of fans. In-N-Out may have regained the title in 2019, but holding that honor for two years is something to be proud of and it shows just how much people love Five Guys.
Why do we love them so much? Five Guys is known for two things: burgers and fries. They also offer hot dogs, and you can get a grilled cheese on the same bun and with the same cheese that's used for a burger... if you're the type of person who actually orders grilled cheese at a restaurant. But here's the thing: Five Guys doesn't serve chicken sandwiches or filet of fish sandwiches or rib sandwiches or fancy salads. It's burgers. And fries. They focus on making those things great, and they're clearly succeeding.
As of 2013, Americans were eating about 50 billion burgers a year, which equals out to about three juicy hamburgers per person per week.
About 60 percent of all sandwiches purchased worldwide are actually hamburgers, and that just shows Five Guys has some serious critics to please.
To co-opt another slogan from another burger chain, you can definitely have it your way at Five Guys, because they offer 15 different toppings to choose from.
These include mayo, ketchup, mustard, A1 Sauce, barbecue sauce, hot sauce, lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, onions, relish, grilled onions, grilled mushrooms, green peppers, and jalapeño peppers. You can choose as many of these toppings as you want, for free, and heck, you can stick all 15 of 'em on your burger if that's what you're into. Keep watching the video to see that this is why Five Guys' burgers are so delicious!
