Why do burger places always use plastic as cheese? Just add a dollar to the price and use some good quality cheese.
LtColonelSmythe
This reminds me I'm past due on my 5 Guys fix. Beats everyone else out by a mile.

IMO Red Robin is just as good AND has a nice sit down experience for your $15 meal.
I also like Bobs Burgers and Brew, but that's more of a local chain.

pretty much all of the well known chefs are okay with american cheese on a burger.

That's fine for them, but american cheese tastes god awful to me. Jack or Provolone is ideal among the cheap cheese.

5 Guys is meh at best. There, I said it.

Me too but for a burger: Eureka! The Habit, Stuft, Smashburger, Squeeze Inn, Annie's, and many others over Five Guys.

are you also a gluten free vegan who does cross fit?
KeyLimePrime
The place filled with barrels of peanuts and their fries are fried in peanut oil, having a peanut allergy is a fair reason to avoid 5 guys.
CygnustheBananaSwan
Though peanut oil is considered safe for those with a peanut allergen - no proteins in the oil
That’s not accurate though, there are significantly less proteins in the oil but enough that many still react.
Highly refined peanut oil*
Fair. Though there's still huge piles of peanuts everywhere so I think the oil is the least of their worries.
ManAmIThirsty
...is overpriced and overrated.
smurfsmurfsmurf
Especially the greasy ton of fries that are a soggy floppy and cold mess by the time you sit down. Easily the worse fries I've had.
MyMiddleNameIsAllen
I very much agree. I shared the same sentiment here a few years ago and got massively shit on. Looks like there are more of us now.
It's only overpriced if you don't take advantage of the free toppings. I get mine loaded with jalapenos, grilled onions, tomatos, etc.
MobilizedPants2
But they give you soo many fries! Smashburger, is where the burgers are.
LCDJosh
GTFoutta here with smashburger. Who wants their burgers paper-thin? Future serial killers that's who.
No Smashburger, the place is called Smashburger.
And they are greasy, soggy, and not hot enough to be enjoyable.
tiderfish
No
Ok cunt
vahnn
I went to 5 Guys once, and I was unimpressed and never went back. Maybe I should give it another go.
its good to go with one other person so you can share a regular fries. also fill up on the free peanuts while your wait for your order.
Why would I order a regular fry and share? I'll order a large fry and eat it all.
therealpopkiller
I had the same experience and then I went back a 2nd time and had the same experience. 5 Guys sucks.
espressoandpostrock
It's definitely overrated, but honestly there's someone that rants and raves over everything so whatever
you should! we litterly get in trouble if were not enthusiastic and smiling.
Service was fine, the food was meh. Wasn't bad, but wasn't worth the hype and not worth the money.
UglyHorribleGrouchyOldMan
The other issue is that it takes their grills a good year or so to season. The just-opened shops just aren't the same.
That could be, this was like 3 or 4 years ago, may be worth a shot then.
Konton90
Can't forget the cajun fries too *drool*

I worked there in college. I would just get a small cajun fry for lunch every day.

5 Guys is too expensive for me.

N4t4ly45
Yeah, here they charge a dollar extra just for a slice of cheese.
Trimule
Delicious Food - about the best, but- Hot dog, reg. cheeseburger, 1 small fries (enough for three people) & drink last night was $19 - Damn!

DTownFunkyStuff
It’s maybe 2 dollars more than a McDonald’s meal unless you work the dollar menu like I used to before I had a job
A decent meal at McDonalds is $6-$8, Five Guys is easily $15 or more here.
strideo
A decent meal is not attainable at McDonald's but, yeah, they do have cheaper food.
chudontknowme
But comes with only a burger. Fries are an extra $4 and drink $3
Drink water. Skip the sodas. No one should be drinking an extra 60-90 grams of sugar with their meal.
Fargus57
A 5 Guys double CB with fries and a soda is about $15 here. Not worth it for those skinny overcooked patties.
GalacticOverlord
Legit. This place was so hyped. We got one. SO and I got fries, drink, and a basic burger for $24. It was loud and dirty at 10a 1/2
which means nobody actually bothered the clean from the night before, because we were the first customers in the door.
pdhackley
Well start a “Go Fund Me” for you!
MyBrainIsPlastiDipped
I'd donate!
causality
Too expensive to have such shit-tier fries, anyway.
Yeah the fries aren't great.
cr9009
I used to think the same until I heard you're supposed to keep the bag open after they hand it to you. Huge difference and crispy af
Crispness isn't the issue, it's how half the fries are brown and shrively. Shit's gross.
My friends and I have what we call the five guys test. If it isn’t Better than five guys it should be ashamed to cost 10+ dollars
I thought this place was about on par: http://www.abbeyburgerfellspoint.com/uploads/3/0/5/8/30589507/abbey_burger_2016__9_.pdf
Burger $7.69 + Fries $3.09 + Drink $2.39 = $13.17 meal.
Their burgers aren't bad, but IMO it's rather expensive for fast food.
mesoziocera
Cookout - 5.99 for dbl bacon CB, 2 side, drink. Whataburger - 7.99 for double bacon CB, fries, drink. Way better than 5 guys.
magneticgumby
Cookout is the gem of the south. I look forward to the day they cross the Mason-Dixon into the north. As of now, closest is Harrisonburg VA
DanielMurphyIsGod
I work at Buffalo Wild Wings. Our burgers do not pass the five guys test. Not even close. We should be ashamed
I give BWW a slight exception, on occasion, due to the fact you can get their sauces on the burger. Other than that, shame.
binicorn
Burgers cost €11 at 5Guys in Holland. :(
NASAguy1000
Agreed. But also on that list at least in my parts are semper fi (military bar) moxie burger, the red eyed mule which omg yes, open til...1/
2pm "ish" um also burger fi is really good, stock yard is too. But if im wanting good but cheap checkers is my go to, because duh.

5 guys isn't good...in the first place.....

Here in Tulsa we have Fat guys Burger bar, a double buger runs about $8 and pretty much every topping but backn and cheese is free
*bacon
They have really good fries, and some good fry sauces. Strawberry Ketchup is my fave, but they have like 25. I love that place
Gayforbae
hi Tulsa friend!
johnnydarkside
They're not great, but about the best for the price. A double for like $8 and all toppings you want.
TheRealStalinWhoIsStandingUp
Amen, me and my bro went to a 5 guys and lunch. Abandoned and it cost me 30 Canadian shekels
RationalDiscourse
I use two local places here in Memphis - Tops BBQ (trust me, get the burger, just do it) and Dyers. Both cheap and amazing. That’s the bar
Dyer's is absolute bliss. Nothing like 100-year-old grease fried burgers.
Native or catch it rolling through town?
Never lived there, but TDY there many times.
Nice. Yeah Memphis isn’t the worst layover there is. Which branch are you?
JosephineRar
Whattaburger
Most overrated chain in perhaps the history of fast food. Basically Burger King but with a proud southern fan base.
Stooppp burger kinda burgers are half the size and twice the bread.
bbfiddler
If it was available by me I'd try it :/
It’s the tits, fuk the haters!
GeekusPrimus
Nah. Born and raised in Texas and have to go with Five Guys anyway.
hotdudecurator
Ok that's it, people will not stop talking about Whataburger. I HAVE to find one and try it. I wonder what the closest to Portland is...
Bruh, don’t forget the spicy ketchup
Wat uh. Or wut uh.
Whut Uh Burger
Foonbee
Ive said it like water burger all my life here in TX so idk maybe its the accent

Mcd's double cheeseburger is better than everything I've had at 5 guys.
MultipleDads
This used to be my benchmark too, until I realized our local burger chain Dick's in WA is twice as good for half the price.

Coming from Utah it's Apollo Burger, and Baklava for dessert. 5 guys ain' got shit on them.
Drakethedragon
I really prefer JCWs over Apollo burger. What do you get at Apollo burger that is so good?
ddoubledash197
Eat a bag of Dicks!
vimnnn
Really, who doesn't love a bag of Dick's?
bashya
I just moved out of seattle and i miss dick's the most. Everyone worships in n out here, but its not even that good
SoupFace
Oh fuck yeah
NukeItFromOrbitMan
So now instead of having Five Guys in your mouth, you just have Dicks in your mouth?
iMightSendYouRandomStuff
Correct. I like a Dicks deluxe directly in my mouth hole. Extra tartar.
Yes! Too many places have $15 burgers that aren't even as good as five guys, not to mention cajun fries.

The only burger I've ever had that was worth the $15 I paid for it was the Madlove burger at Red Robin.

I would kill a man for some cajun fries.

Yeah....Red Robin's are about $10, $11, including the fries, so I usually only go once a year for the free birthday burger -1-
Last year they even comped the upcharge for the garlic fries, so I was like o_O
Aaronspark777
Best part of Red Robins is the seasoning. You can buy it for like $5.
Wait, which seasoning?
the red robins seasoned shaker that is at every table.

detour512
I gotta agree been there a few times it's meh at best, five guys, in & out, even the local places mighty fine, meh. Hole in the wall for me
We have a place called Burgatory here in Pittsburgh. Makes 5 guys look like shit.
I do that think any hamburger is better than having five guys.... >)
dazuk85
Weird question... in the US is a beefbuger a hambuger or a pork burger a hamburger or both?
Doopapotamus
In the US a hamburger is always beef, for selling across to the large Jewish/Muslim populations. I'd love a partially pork burger myself.
To elaborate: a "burger" as a term 99.9% of the time is just beef, but otherwise it's outright mentioned if it's cut with other meats/items.
But why is it called a hamburger?
I've never heard of any kind of burger other than beef tbh. Except like a buffalo or turkey burger. A pork burger is just a sausage patty...
So why is it called a hamburger?
Ham being pork i mean
yourbassist
Weird. I think they should be ashamed at their price.
If you're not comfortable with their prices, then you're not their target market.
I agree... I use two local places here in Memphis, TN as a benchmark. Dyers and a place called Tops BBQ (trust me, get the burger)
frankreynoldsthefrogkid
I listened to a podcast about five guys. The founder let his teenagers choose the ingredients and they ended up being more expensive
Rips4w
Then why are their burgers so fucking basic?
It is your fault that they're basic. You can add whatever the fuck you want at no additional cost (except cheese).
SecretWielder
If that’s the case, I’ll add a shake, on the side of corse.
pita26
But...it's a build your own burger joint...
jmeyers1983
Browsing imgur makes me feel fortunate to have a good job.
I have a good job. Their price doesn't match the product so I don't eat there.
Haha same people complaining about the price of five guys really puts things in perspective. Like you can’t all seriously be this poor
That’s what I mean. Part of it is the inevitable circle jerk that is Imgur. Sometimes I catch myself partaking too.
memepolice420
A cheeseburger is only about $8.50
Say only, but that's a double patty, double cheese with a huge list of toppings.
illegalacorn
...only
It's not an issue of cost. It's an issue of cost/quality ratio
TraitorousTrump3
In CO, a double cheese burger is $7.85.
AfatCatnamedHiggins
Yes, and a double at smashburger is 10.50, totally worth it too.
Meh. 5 guys is better.
Blkmagik12
No Smashburger is not that great
burningeagle
You can get a double-double animal style in a combo for that
Zyrixion
Meh. In & Out is a pretty mediocre burger joint really, I think 5 Guys does better burgers.
TheButte
We don't have In n Out in MN :(. There is a shake shack at MOA. Worth dealing with mall traffic for it.
I’ve had both, they’re always worth the wait <3
ManOfIce
In what world do you live in that a cheeseburger that costs almost 9 dollars is "only" 9 dollars?? It's a damn plain cheeseburger
If your complaining about a 9 dollar meal you might be poor. Don’t judge others moderately priced meals.
ImNotRacistBut
They're not like McDonald's cheeseburgers. They're like the size of a large toddler's head.
mtimothy
Eh? 5 guys? I've eaten at one in Omaha NE and the burger and fries were pretty basic to me. Nothing really stood out from the experience.
(2) coast and was let down to find the burger and fries were basically like Sonic.
(1)Unrelated but in the military people hyped up In and Out all the time. I was excited to finally get to try it during one trip to the West
RandomnessSlayer
You've clearly never eaten there. Toppings are free (minus bacon and cheese).
IbukiOnTheScene
bacon/cheese are the only toppings I'd add anyway. maybe ketchup or something but i usually just have that on the side to dip fries in

And they are greasy, soggy, and not hot enough to be enjoyable.
tiderfish
No

Ok cunt

I went to 5 Guys once, and I was unimpressed and never went back. Maybe I should give it another go.
DoritosCat
its good to go with one other person so you can share a regular fries. also fill up on the free peanuts while your wait for your order.
vahnn
Why would I order a regular fry and share? I'll order a large fry and eat it all.
therealpopkiller
I had the same experience and then I went back a 2nd time and had the same experience. 5 Guys sucks.
espressoandpostrock
It's definitely overrated, but honestly there's someone that rants and raves over everything so whatever
dreadnaughtz94
you should! we litterly get in trouble if were not enthusiastic and smiling.
vahnn
Service was fine, the food was meh. Wasn't bad, but wasn't worth the hype and not worth the money.
UglyHorribleGrouchyOldMan
The other issue is that it takes their grills a good year or so to season. The just-opened shops just aren't the same.
vahnn
That could be, this was like 3 or 4 years ago, may be worth a shot then.
Konton90
Can't forget the cajun fries too *drool*
Ixadias
+1 Had to make sure _somebody_ mentioned the cajun fries!
Konton90
I worked there in college. I would just get a small cajun fry for lunch every day.

DangerousNoodle
5 Guys is too expensive for me.
wiggles
stop being poor
N4t4ly45
Yeah, here they charge a dollar extra just for a slice of cheese.
Trimule
Delicious Food - about the best, but- Hot dog, reg. cheeseburger, 1 small fries (enough for three people) & drink last night was $19 - Damn!
Gianttesticlemonster
Well if your name is Smokey I may be able to help you out with a cheeseburger
Gorperino
Mans gotta eat, Mr. Lahey.
assholecasserole
DTownFunkyStuff
It’s maybe 2 dollars more than a McDonald’s meal unless you work the dollar menu like I used to before I had a job
DangerousNoodle
A decent meal at McDonalds is $6-$8, Five Guys is easily $15 or more here.
strideo
A decent meal is not attainable at McDonald's but, yeah, they do have cheaper food.
chudontknowme
But comes with only a burger. Fries are an extra $4 and drink $3
strideo
Drink water. Skip the sodas. No one should be drinking an extra 60-90 grams of sugar with their meal.
Fargus57
A 5 Guys double CB with fries and a soda is about $15 here. Not worth it for those skinny overcooked patties.
GalacticOverlord
Legit. This place was so hyped. We got one. SO and I got fries, drink, and a basic burger for $24. It was loud and dirty at 10a 1/2
GalacticOverlord
which means nobody actually bothered the clean from the night before, because we were the first customers in the door.
pdhackley
Well start a “Go Fund Me” for you!
MyBrainIsPlastiDipped
I'd donate!

Too expensive to have such shit-tier fries, anyway.
Cheomesh
Yeah the fries aren't great.
cr9009
I used to think the same until I heard you're supposed to keep the bag open after they hand it to you. Huge difference and crispy af
causality
Crispness isn't the issue, it's how half the fries are brown and shrively. Shit's gross.
YourMomsNewBoyfriend
My friends and I have what we call the five guys test. If it isn’t Better than five guys it should be ashamed to cost 10+ dollars
Cheomesh
I thought this place was about on par: http://www.abbeyburgerfellspoint.com/uploads/3/0/5/8/30589507/abbey_burger_2016__9_.pdf
barnwolf
Burger $7.69 + Fries $3.09 + Drink $2.39 = $13.17 meal.
barnwolf
Their burgers aren't bad, but IMO it's rather expensive for fast food.
mesoziocera
Cookout - 5.99 for dbl bacon CB, 2 side, drink. Whataburger - 7.99 for double bacon CB, fries, drink. Way better than 5 guys.
magneticgumby
Cookout is the gem of the south. I look forward to the day they cross the Mason-Dixon into the north. As of now, closest is Harrisonburg VA
DanielMurphyIsGod
I work at Buffalo Wild Wings. Our burgers do not pass the five guys test. Not even close. We should be ashamed
Randomman96
I give BWW a slight exception, on occasion, due to the fact you can get their sauces on the burger. Other than that, shame.
binicorn
Burgers cost €11 at 5Guys in Holland. :(
NASAguy1000
Agreed. But also on that list at least in my parts are semper fi (military bar) moxie burger, the red eyed mule which omg yes, open til...1/
NASAguy1000
2pm "ish" um also burger fi is really good, stock yard is too. But if im wanting good but cheap checkers is my go to, because duh.
Grenateh
5 guys isn't good...in the first place.....
ThanatosST
I live in Hawaii, and we just got a 5 guys here last year. Minimum $10 per burger.
blacknsilver86
On the plus side you live in Hawaii
TheRabidOcelot
Here in Tulsa we have Fat guys Burger bar, a double buger runs about $8 and pretty much every topping but backn and cheese is free
TheRabidOcelot
*bacon
TheRabidOcelot
They have really good fries, and some good fry sauces. Strawberry Ketchup is my fave, but they have like 25. I love that place
Gayforbae
johnnydarkside
They're not great, but about the best for the price. A double for like $8 and all toppings you want.
TheRealStalinWhoIsStandingUp
Amen, me and my bro went to a 5 guys and lunch. Abandoned and it cost me 30 Canadian shekels
RationalDiscourse
I use two local places here in Memphis - Tops BBQ (trust me, get the burger, just do it) and Dyers. Both cheap and amazing. That’s the bar
UglyHorribleGrouchyOldMan
Dyer's is absolute bliss. Nothing like 100-year-old grease fried burgers.
RationalDiscourse
UglyHorribleGrouchyOldMan
Never lived there, but TDY there many times.
RationalDiscourse
Nice. Yeah Memphis isn’t the worst layover there is. Which branch are you?
JosephineRar
Whattaburger
YourMomsNewBoyfriend
Most overrated chain in perhaps the history of fast food. Basically Burger King but with a proud southern fan base.
JosephineRar
Stooppp burger kinda burgers are half the size and twice the bread.
bbfiddler
If it was available by me I'd try it :/
JosephineRar
It’s the tits, fuk the haters!
GeekusPrimus
Nah. Born and raised in Texas and have to go with Five Guys anyway.
hotdudecurator
Ok that's it, people will not stop talking about Whataburger. I HAVE to find one and try it. I wonder what the closest to Portland is...
JosephineRar
Bruh, don’t forget the spicy ketchup
NASAguy1000
Wat uh. Or wut uh.
TrixieLaBouche
Whut Uh Burger
Foonbee
Ive said it like water burger all my life here in TX so idk maybe its the accent
ImgursLibertarian
Mcd's double cheeseburger is better than everything I've had at 5 guys.
MultipleDads
This used to be my benchmark too, until I realized our local burger chain Dick's in WA is twice as good for half the price.
0100100001100101011011000110110001101111
In Oregon we got dicks too but it's more expensive
Thanossaves
Coming from Utah it's Apollo Burger, and Baklava for dessert. 5 guys ain' got shit on them.
Drakethedragon
I really prefer JCWs over Apollo burger. What do you get at Apollo burger that is so good?
ddoubledash197
Eat a bag of Dicks!
vimnnn
Really, who doesn't love a bag of Dick's?
bashya
I just moved out of seattle and i miss dick's the most. Everyone worships in n out here, but its not even that good
SoupFace
Oh fuck yeah
NukeItFromOrbitMan
So now instead of having Five Guys in your mouth, you just have Dicks in your mouth?
iMightSendYouRandomStuff
MultipleDads
Correct. I like a Dicks deluxe directly in my mouth hole. Extra tartar.
bbfiddler
Yes! Too many places have $15 burgers that aren't even as good as five guys, not to mention cajun fries.

Ground up giant squid beak patties harvested from the belly of a whale served on a focaccia bun with purple radish aioli? With fancy cheese.
N0616JC
I have been to some that doesn't match up to the quality of McDonald's....
XxxAziexxX
The only burger I've ever had that was worth the $15 I paid for it was the Madlove burger at Red Robin.
KarenRichardAndJesusCarpenter
cajun fries are disgusting
Apocalypsox
Oh a large cajun fry feeds 2-3 people? Honey please.
AuxKat
I would kill a man for some cajun fries.
Arconyte
Shit, I volunteer as long as I get a few fries.
malikcarr
...isn't it just Old Bay seasoning?
Comet260
I'll send you a list of targets.
jimwormmaster
Yeah....Red Robin's are about $10, $11, including the fries, so I usually only go once a year for the free birthday burger -1-
jimwormmaster
Last year they even comped the upcharge for the garlic fries, so I was like o_O
Aaronspark777
Best part of Red Robins is the seasoning. You can buy it for like $5.
jimwormmaster
Wait, which seasoning?
Aaronspark777
the red robins seasoned shaker that is at every table.
iBlueSky
5 guys aint even that good its a basic burgur
GThang13
Yea I'm with you they still riding that wave from that Obama hype! Taste don't equal up to the price
haze2893
You can’t even spell burger, what do you know about burgers
WhenEmusAttack
this is I think... the first downvote i've ever given on imgur. jeez. ass.
detour512
I gotta agree been there a few times it's meh at best, five guys, in & out, even the local places mighty fine, meh. Hole in the wall for me
KarenRichardAndJesusCarpenter
We have a place called Burgatory here in Pittsburgh. Makes 5 guys look like shit.
Gayforbae
I do that think any hamburger is better than having five guys.... >)
dazuk85
Weird question... in the US is a beefbuger a hambuger or a pork burger a hamburger or both?
Doopapotamus
In the US a hamburger is always beef, for selling across to the large Jewish/Muslim populations. I'd love a partially pork burger myself.
Doopapotamus
To elaborate: a "burger" as a term 99.9% of the time is just beef, but otherwise it's outright mentioned if it's cut with other meats/items.
dazuk85
But why is it called a hamburger?
Gayforbae
I've never heard of any kind of burger other than beef tbh. Except like a buffalo or turkey burger. A pork burger is just a sausage patty...
dazuk85
So why is it called a hamburger?
dazuk85
Ham being pork i mean
yourbassist
Weird. I think they should be ashamed at their price.
UglyHorribleGrouchyOldMan
If you're not comfortable with their prices, then you're not their target market.
RationalDiscourse
I agree... I use two local places here in Memphis, TN as a benchmark. Dyers and a place called Tops BBQ (trust me, get the burger)
frankreynoldsthefrogkid
I listened to a podcast about five guys. The founder let his teenagers choose the ingredients and they ended up being more expensive
Rips4w
Then why are their burgers so fucking basic?
NCRMadness50
It is your fault that they're basic. You can add whatever the fuck you want at no additional cost (except cheese).
SecretWielder
If that’s the case, I’ll add a shake, on the side of corse.
pita26
But...it's a build your own burger joint...
jmeyers1983
Browsing imgur makes me feel fortunate to have a good job.
yourbassist
I have a good job. Their price doesn't match the product so I don't eat there.
YourMomsNewBoyfriend
Haha same people complaining about the price of five guys really puts things in perspective. Like you can’t all seriously be this poor
jmeyers1983
That’s what I mean. Part of it is the inevitable circle jerk that is Imgur. Sometimes I catch myself partaking too.
memepolice420
A cheeseburger is only about $8.50
johnnydarkside
Say only, but that's a double patty, double cheese with a huge list of toppings.
illegalacorn
...only
yourbassist
It's not an issue of cost. It's an issue of cost/quality ratio
TraitorousTrump3
In CO, a double cheese burger is $7.85.
AfatCatnamedHiggins
Yes, and a double at smashburger is 10.50, totally worth it too.
TraitorousTrump3
Meh. 5 guys is better.
Blkmagik12
No Smashburger is not that great
burningeagle
You can get a double-double animal style in a combo for that
Zyrixion
Meh. In & Out is a pretty mediocre burger joint really, I think 5 Guys does better burgers.
TheButte
We don't have In n Out in MN :(. There is a shake shack at MOA. Worth dealing with mall traffic for it.
burningeagle
I’ve had both, they’re always worth the wait <3
ManOfIce
In what world do you live in that a cheeseburger that costs almost 9 dollars is "only" 9 dollars?? It's a damn plain cheeseburger
YourMomsNewBoyfriend
If your complaining about a 9 dollar meal you might be poor. Don’t judge others moderately priced meals.
ImNotRacistBut
They're not like McDonald's cheeseburgers. They're like the size of a large toddler's head.
mtimothy
Eh? 5 guys? I've eaten at one in Omaha NE and the burger and fries were pretty basic to me. Nothing really stood out from the experience.
mtimothy
(2) coast and was let down to find the burger and fries were basically like Sonic.
mtimothy
(1)Unrelated but in the military people hyped up In and Out all the time. I was excited to finally get to try it during one trip to the West
RandomnessSlayer
You've clearly never eaten there. Toppings are free (minus bacon and cheese).
IbukiOnTheScene
bacon/cheese are the only toppings I'd add anyway. maybe ketchup or something but i usually just have that on the side to dip fries in
