Photo: Five GuysLittle Bacon Cheeseburger
“Little” is marketing modesty. With one patty it is still a full-sized burger by any other chain’s standard, and many regulars think it is the best-balanced thing on the menu: enough beef, bacon and cheese without the double’s bread-to-meat problem. If you are also getting fries, and at Five Guys the fries come heaped, this is the sensible size.

About Five Guys
Five Guys started in 1986 in Arlington, Virginia, when Jerry Murrell and his sons opened a carry-out burger joint with a deliberately tiny menu. The idea never changed: beef that is never frozen, patties cooked well done on a flat grill, fries cut from whole potatoes, and a box of peanuts to eat while you wait.
Around 2,000 restaurants across North America, Europe, the Middle East and Asia.
