While in NC we discovered a place better than Five Guys. Same type of entrepreneurship. Privately owned. Seventy-five locations in NC. It is called Cook-out. Grilled hamburgers with creamery premium milkshakes.

Two people can get a a main item and two sides, yes two sides, plus a drink for under $10. You can upgrade your drink to a home-made milkshake for under $11 for two people.

They just opened their first store in SC this summer. I'm hoping they keep moving south to Florida.
Though we have them all over the DC area, we have never visited one.
One of our employees calls them 'Five dead guys' and recommends a faster way to bliss for a cholestrophile....
Maybe someone will open up a location in TV?

At least when one leaves, they are not going to leave hungry!!

Enjoy the vid!
