Burger King grills the burgers and places them in a plastic holding pin until ordered. They fix the burger and to reheat the burger/ kinda melt the cheese the nuke for a short time probably less 20 seceonds. They have done this for years. Thought this was common knowledge as one the reasons they never caught MCDonalds and have recently had Wendys catch them.Microwaves don't leave fresh grill marks.

Does McD's not also do this?Didn't McD's rise to dominance by pre-making everything and tossing quality/freshness aside for speed?Even if BK does indeed have inferior burgers to McD's (debatable at best), that wouldn't be in the top 5 reasons McD's destroyed BK.Burger King grills the burgers and places them in a plastic holding pin until ordered.

Your sig.
You don't need two orders of fries, their fries are like twice the size of a large McDonald's fries. This brings your total down to a manageable $13.77 (+tax).
Pizza and wings places might fit the bill. I worked for a place that had tables but no table service, sold pizzas/zones/bolis, wings, hoagies, salads, etc and unless you just ordered a couple of slices it would take at least 10 minutes to get your food (not sure if time should factor in here or not). Certainly higher quality than FF.'EYLive said:

You and the "ol' lady" really need two orders of fries at Five Guys? In my experience, one order can easily feed three people.
Is there any meat on there?
You must not have ever had a Five Guys burger. It aint 6 inches of toppings. Double bacon cheeseburger with mayo, lettuce, tomato, ketchup, mustard, pickles, mushrooms, jalapeno slice and A-1.ETA: bottom patty covered in cheese, 2nd patty is hanging off the back of the burger but you can see the edge of it under the lettuce. Thats how it was wrapped, I didnt straighten it out for the pic.Is there any meat on there?
Two people and two orders of fries seems silly. Maybe she should layoff the whole order of fries. When I have been there, one order of fries is usually enough for me, my wife and 3 boys 10 and under. If I go there myself, I usually just get the regular cheeseburger and a drink or if I am just picking it up (work from home), I grab a drink or two from my garage fridge and get just the burger and go home.
Have you asked? The person at the register probably won't do it, but if you watch your order being made, ask the fry boy to do it when he gets your order.
I have asked for cajun seasoning on the side and got it because I knew my kids wouldn't like it. I gave them each some fries and dumped the seasoning into the rest of the bag and those were mine. They give you a cup, just take the cup of fries out and season what is in the bag, heck shake it a bunch if you want to look cool.
The restaurant near me won't do it. Their solution was to give me regular fries with a little container of the seasoning. Although I suspect some employees would accomodate the request.
Will they do fries extra crispy? I find their thick cut is hit or miss with some having a perfect crunch skin and a hot moist center while most of the others being soft and mushy.
I havent had this problem some people have said about this yet. Theyre never what I would call well done, but theyre certainly cooked enough and arent mushy.
Same here. I always order to go and it's always reasonably crispy when I get home.
Always soft and mushy. Fries are definitely not what brings me there. They need to take a lesson from In N Out on fries.
I think this more speaks to the way normal people like me and weirdos like you two prefer their fries. I am guessing you like your steaks well done too.Kidding.
More often than not, I actually only go there for the fries. Theyre a meal in itself, and only cost $3. While I think their burgers are also very tasty, I think you really need the grease of the regular (double) burger to reach their burger's full potential. That's running you $7.
Only $3? For french fried potatoes? Do you know how much a potato actually costs?
If I was a picky richardface, Id ask them to cook my fries well done. I think theyre good enough as is. If you think theyre that bad, just go somewhere else GB (which you probably do since youre in Cali).FTR, ribeyes are my steak of choice and I like them medium rare. With steaks, you arent an ### if you complain about them being under/over cooked
Dont really care. I cant make fries like that at home. However, I can make a tasty burger, cooked to my liking and size, at home.

I'm the opposite.It's very easy with a $40 deep fryer and a fry slicer. Neither of those things are really necessary, but they make it easier.
I haven't heard such a thing very often. What sort of fries do you like?
Love McDonald's fries. I was a huge fan of Wendy's old fries (when they were fresh out of the fryer and crispy, not soggy). My favorite are those served in local Coney Island restaurants... specifically Kerby's Koney Island
Oh, I got ya. Now that I think about it, I know a lot of people that much prefer the thinner, (usually) crispier fries. I guess that would make sense. That McDonald's place does pretty well with their fries.
Same here.
You have it backwards. In-N-Out fries are always mushy unless you order them well done.I think my 5 Guys location just does a consistently good job with their fries. It's a newer location so the employees might be trying a little harder.
Sounds a lot like the soda police in NYC.
All fries get mushy eventually. IMO the quality of fries is all about how soon you get them after they come out of the fryer. The sooner the better. That's why I asked if you can order them well done at 5 Guys like you can at In-N-Out, that way I know I am getting them straight out of the fryer.
Yeah, I just use a knife and a dutch oven, but my fries are better than any fast-food fries I've tried. (Especially with my homemade ketchup.)I usually fry them in ghee, though sometimes I'll add rendered beef or pork fat as well.
Blanching means to put them in boiling water and then in cold water, right? I haven't tried that method.I soak them, rinse them, fry them, then let them sit on a baking sheet to cool off, then fry them again.

Tear open the bag.
