“I grew up on In-N-Out,” said Mickelson, who admitted he had gone to Five Guys for six days in a row. “I thought that was the best burger until I had Five Guys. That is hands down the best burger I’ve ever had.”
The controversy here is that Phil apparently is part of a group that purchased the rights to own/operate Five Guys restaurants in Orange County. I’d get all worked up here (and you wouldn’t like me when I’m worked up), but Phil is right. Take it from a burger connoisseur, Five Guys is the tits. The absolute best burger chain out there. I know I’ll get some hate mail from all those SoCal nut bags out there, but In-N-Out Burger is slop compared to Five Guys.
Five Guys is so good, you can eat it on the beach, bloating and all. Just ask UConn’s Scott Lutrus, who puts 3 or 4 away ever summer on Bethany Beach. In fact, it was one such road trip to Bethany to see the Lutrus family that I discovered Five Guys, and my arteries have never been the same. So before everyone jumps on Phil for his biased endorsement, consider this: He’s right.
I should treat you at our local Cook Out establishment. The Cook Out Tray is their signature deal at $3.99 . A tray includes a selection of a burger/chicken/bbq sandwich with a side and a drink*. *for an additional 99 cents you can score one of their phenomenal shakes.

I think 5-Guys burgers are on par with dental amalgam with the risk factors and life-shortening potential or something like that.
Doc, we eat for fuel, not to worry about health concerns.
