Why Five Guys always gives you so many extra fries.
Five Guys is one of many quick-service chains that have swept across the country, and the restaurant's peculiarities are part of the reason why.
The untold truth of Five Guys is that quality ingredients and a few marketing tricks elevated them to a level where they could refuse to serve the Pentagon.
Of course, the public's need for incredibly good, seemingly endless french fries was also helpful.
They only use potatoes grown in Idaho above the 42nd parallel to ensure they have the right texture and flavor.
The company also doesn't believe in freezers, which means that the fries are never frozen (via Delish).
This carefully honed technique is designed to keep everything in order with the Five Guys science of burgers and fries. »
