A Little Cheeseburger with onion, lettuce, tomato, and pickles — I also wanted to see if cheese would elevate the Five Guys patty, and whether the burger size would change my eating experience (“little” just means there’s one patty instead of two)
I tried to go as classic as possible for my very first Five Guys hamburger.
I ordered my hamburger with onion, lettuce, pickles, and tomato, wanting to see how just the classic ingredients would compare to Five Guys toppings-loaded “All The Way” burger. Advertisement
Despite all the hype, the Five Guys hamburger just didn’t wow me.
Five Guys employee Maezion Henix told Askinasi that the chain has one big aim with its burger patties.
“We want our burgers leaking,” he said. “So when you bite into it, it will be satisfying.”
But reader, I unfortunately had the opposite experience. My hamburger definitely wasnt leaking, and it wasnt very juicy. The patty didnt give me much flavor, and tasted nearly well-done to me. And I was disappointed to see that the sesame bun was already pretty soggy in the five-minute ride home from my local Five Guys. I yearned for the soft, plump buns I was used to at In-N-Out.
