I just tried Five Guys while in DC. Waking in to the store, it reminded me of an In-N-Out, but not quite: from the red and white tiled interior (many In-N-Outs have red, white, and black tile) to the messy burgers and fries cooked in oil (peanut vs vegetable) to order. At the time it made me wonder if a former In-N-Out employee moved East to try out a similar formula. McDowell's from Eddie Murphy's Coming to America came to mind.
The Five Guys Burgers are good, definitely better than any mega-chain burgers. Now living in Indiana but having grown up in Southern California, I miss In-N-Out, so Five Guys is a fair substitute from a burger chain. But Five Guys at best are In-N-Out wanna-be's, not to mention more expensive.
Too bad their chains are at opposite ends of the U.S.: the show-down suggested earlier would be great.
