"I believe that the great American hamburger is a thing of beauty, its simple charms noble, pristine. The basic recipe--ground beef, salt, and pepper, formed into a patty, grilled or seared on a griddle, then nestled between two halves of a bun, usually but not necessarily accompanied by lettuce, a tomato slice, and some ketchup--is, to my mind, unimprovable by man or God. A good burger can be made more complicated, even more interesting by the addition of other ingredients--like good cheese or bacon.....relish perhaps, but it will never be made better." - Anthony Bourdain, from the chapter entitled 'Meat', in his book Medium Raw.

Five Guys Burgers and Fries (Pocatello, ID)

At Five Guys, you can custom-build your burger from their list of ingredients.
















V. chose to get jalapenos on his burger.

















S. chose tomatoes, pickles, and A-1.

At Five Guys, they stack the potatoes and other ingredients around the restaurant. There was a sign on the wall saying that the potatoes they were serving today had come from a specific town in Idaho. Of course by now, I've forgotten the name of the town!
