I don't like their fries either, but I see it as a plus. I am much less likely to eat them than other fries and I certainly don't need them.

For what it's worth, Hebrew National is the brand. Some taste buds simply cannot handle higher standards, it would seem. The fries are supposed to taste rather like baked potato, too, rather than like almost burnt grease with a shell. It really is the difference between a hot dog made of all the parts that nobody would eat if they knew what it really was, all ground into a mass called mechanically separated younameit... And Kosher quality meat that actually tastes like meat rather than a mix of various connective, joint, circulatory, reproductive, nerve, brain, and other tissue. As for potatoes, real potatoes that taste like potatoes; rather than what used to be potatoes, having been replaced by oil and caramelized starch.

I take all those extra fries, stick them in the fridge, and use them in soups, stews, goulashes, and generally enjoy them to my hearts content. I have found them to go well with miso soup, matzo soup, various stews, chilies, chowders....

... Oh the joy, having such cooperative taste buds. Practically everything edible on this planet tastes good to me, so far as I know.

Oh, the Hebrew National Kosher hot dogs are the best. *SO* much better than regular hot dogs (the lips & a-holes ones).

But why do they split it lengthwise down the middle?

And I too enjoy the fries at the many guys locations.

I miss doing Five Guys. The MS company booted me out since I did so many. I wish other companies were doing them.

BTW, I had complained before that I wasn't seeing the Five Guys locations in my immediate area anymore. First the one closest to home disappeared, then the other one in the South end of town. I could still see and accept out-of-town ones, if they fit in with a route and I felt like a burger.

Then, just earlier this week, the one closest to home re-appeared! It's literally less than five minutes away. Dad & I went Saturday night (the 19th) and loved it.

I'm kind of scared of hitting my lifetime limit or whatever on my one local one. I do them all the time out of town but the local one I only do if it's bonused.

Wow, Five Guys needs to hire you as a spokesperson!

I'm cutting back on their shops because I, too, don't want to hit the lifetime limit and because I'm having cholesterol problems.

I might try eating less of the fries in the restaurant and saving some for omelets and casseroles. My taste buds have adapted over the past 1.5 years and I now LOVE their fries.

Too bad the reviews on FG shakes; I've been waiting for them to show up. But Sonic's are really good, if a little overpriced.

I never finish the fries(even little), take them home for the next night or two side dish. If there is
a ball game on, then chili cheese fries, here we come.

So the milkshake was $3.99 + tax. Reimbursement for everything was up to $15.00. They pay me $14.99 instead of $15. Seriously?! I'm not going to argue over 1 cent but I guess the fact that things are taxed never occur to some people.

The one I did last week asked if I ordered a shake and then I had to fill out some questions asking
why I didn't have one. There was quite a lengthy list of reasons to choose from as to why I didn't.
I don't remember seeing it as an ordering option, but it would just be too much for me, anyway.

I'm "Sandi" in the Middle!

Based on this thread, I think there could be an entire cookbook consisting of recipes involving leftover Five Guy fries!

I ordered the milkshake and then received an email saying that it was optional.

No shakes here in my part of Florida, no fancy soda machines either. All the Bk's in my area did put in the fancy soda dispensers, grape fanta zero, gotta love it!

Anybody know what this "lifetime limit" is? Is it per store? There are three near me which I rotate through, but I don't want to get kicked out because it's an easy shop!

I did quite a few back when they first opened in South Florida. I don't know the exact number but suddenly the 4 closest locations dropped off my boards for a couple of years. I still did shops when I traveled. Lo and behold, a few months ago my closest stores let me in again. This is when the requirements changed & you were allowed to order a hot dog or grilled cheese.

I had a shop last week and got the veggie sandwich. Terrible! It was on a bun, lettuce, tomato, cheese, some kind of mayo. It was all condiments, like they forgot the burger. Never again.
