Five Guys Burgers and Fries is #1 in the Nation

So you probably already predicted this would happen, as I did. Five Guys Burgers and Fries jumped up and over In-N-Out Burger, becoming the nations #1 burger chain.


Coming from as close of an un-biased place as possible, Five Guys is super delicious, and not only that but deserves to be in the number one spot, but I also agree and decided long ago, when I first tasted this scrump-didlee-umptious freshly made burgers and fries (I'll have some malt vinegar with that too, please), that Five Guys IS BETTER than In-N-Out Burger. It would only be a matter of time before they surpassed the West Coast-centric franchise. Five Guys had the right idea by choosing to be a nation-wide company, rather than snubbing any locale that isn't on a certain side of the Mississippi River.


And I can say which is better, because I've had both types. I grew up on In-N-Out, and was a fan only because it's almost sacrilege to live in the western part of our country and not like their burgers. Honestly, though, they were always just "okay," I thought. Contrary to most, I hated their "secret sauce" and their french fries, while cut straight from the potato like Five Guys', they seemed too thin, almost like those shoe-string type fries. Five Guys' fries are so much more hearty.

So Columbus finally got its Five Guys. We now have 5 total, one is off of Polaris Parkway and Cleveland Ave, one on campus, on High Street and 11th, across from the Gateway. There's one in Dublin on Hospital Dr., and one on Stringtown Rd in Grove City, and lastly, on W. 5th Ave. in Grandview. And when the Guys finally brought the franchise to The Bus, the restaurants started to sprouted up everywhere like mushrooms in a damp, mossy forest. Plus, I think some locations of Five Guys delivers, and/or you can all ahead to place an order.

This picture looks gooood, huh? Go get one!
