And they NEVER fill their fry cartons. When I worked for Burger King once upon a time there was a sticker on the side of the fry bin reminding us all that it was OKAY to overfill them, and toss any that'd been sitting there awhile. The cost of french fries in a large carton is MAYBE 40 cents. McDonalds charges $4.49 for that, and you're lucky if they're fresh and even luckier if the carton is full.
At 5 Guys, I can get a "little cheeseburger" (almost 1/4 pound of 80/20 ground chuck) loaded with sauteed mushrooms and a "little fry" which is really a small to-go burger bag filled around 1/2-way with store-cut fries, for under $15. I really wish 5 Guys had a location up on the northeastern end of The Villages, but when I'm down in Brownwood it's one of my usual go-tos.

When I got 5 guys had location on 441 across rolling acres road by Spanish springs. McDonalds home of stale buns. Even the ones they changed to dry, must ship them in from Mexico? When I was kid I remember “Smacks” hamburgers home of 15 cent hamburgers and 10 cent fries and drink early 60’s.
