    Every. Single. Time.
    I like just knowing it's there, doing its bacon thing.

    A bacon double cheeseburger XL at Burger King is my favourite of the commonly available burgers.

    I am a recent convert having made a fragile trip to Five Guys and thinking bacon could only help which to be fair it did.

    I like Five Guys, but can't help but feel it gives itself airs.

    I very much enjoyed my Five Guys experience but felt that it was restaurant quality food at a restaurant price, in a fast food environment. All of which discombobulated me a bit.

    You have - as ever - put your finger on the very nub of the thing.

    Why am I paying this price while having to queue to order, sit on plastic seats and dispose of my own waste? The thing is all out of whack.

    The price point is simply reflective of The Modern World as such and when all is said and done it is a burger so airs and graces are both unnecessary and if they did exist we would all be in a rush to point out that it is only a burger.

    The chaps behind the venture know there is a world of wannabee food critics who would see it beneath them to perhaps have a Whopper with Cheese or a Quarter Pounder with cheese, 6 nuggets and a Fillet of Fish on the side. The food is ghastly, the cheese is plastic and it is relatively cheap and it is “fast food” so they could not dare be seen enter the premises.

    Raise the price to whatever FG is, sell it as a higher food experience and the beards and check shirts (and Monty) are falling over themselves to get in a take a photo of their food.

    They all deserve to be shot.

    Oh, I don't blame Five Guys. They have discovered that people are stupid enough to pay restaurant prices while sitting in what feels like a motorway service station. And they don't have to employ waiting staff, clean cutlery or crockery or any of that other expensive shít. wdfgimo.

    However, I find it incongruous and don't really enjoy it. It could simply be that I'm too old. Like my granny who would only take us to Wimpy and never McDonald's because Wimpy served their food on plates and with knives and forks.
