Five Guys is the epitome of "lean." All they serve is burgers, hot dogs, soft drinks, water and fries. No shakes. No pies. No chicken. Word of advice: never, EVER order a large fry (unless, of course, you want a big honking bag of fries) - a regular order will be more than sufficient. ~rave! --- In scifinoir2@yahoogroups.com , Martin Baxter <martinbaxt...@...> wrote: > > I've heard great things all around about Five Guys.
