You didn't read. I never said Wendy's was bettet, previous poster said it. I commented on price/value. I think 5 Guys is ridiculously over priced for such crappy food. I in no way think Five Guys is 3x better than Wendy's as the cost might suggest. Wendy's definitely has better fries though.

One of my favorite burgers was Hardee's "Huskee Junior" It was char-broiled and loaded with carcinogens

It's not even close when you consider value. 5 Guys destroys them with quality and really it's not 3x the price.
$5.09 for the little (1 patty) cheeseburger at 5 Guys.

I just looked up the prices. Cheeseburger+Small Fries+Regular drink is $8.10 at 5 Guys (not including Tax)

The equivalent combo at Wendys is Dave's Hot 'n Juicy 1/4 lb. Single with Cheese which is $6.19 (not including Tax).

I'll happily pay $1.91 more for 5 Guys taste (and I can easily eat $2 worth of peanuts).

A little old but it's not even close -

You also get significantly more fries at Five Guys than Wendy's.

You get significantly more fries at 5 guys than the typical fast food place has in their bin ready for the next 5 orders.

You've obviously never eaten there. You can NOT get a burger, fries and drink for $8 at Five Guys. Never seen that combo come out less than $11. And as far as the quality argument, nothing about Five Guys food says "quality". It's nasty and greasy, often undercooked, etc. All that AND ridiculously overpriced. You will never convince me otherwise.

Five Guys is greasy and disgusting. I have never understood the appeal. Ugh.

It's fine if you don't like it but your 3x the price line is false (I did the math for you). I ate there as recently as last week.
