Yeah, Five Guys is a burger chain that originated here in Arlington, received high acclaim, took over the DC area, and started springing up at other places around the East Coast...
"Since franchising, it has also received awards in other cities, including Annapolis, Charlotte, Richmond, Charlottesville, Johnstown, Philadelphia, and Virginia Beach."
(And Pittsburgh)

No, Five Guys is definitely better than Wendy's... Five Guys is a step above fast food... The Five Guys is also 2 blocks closer to my house than the local Wendy's
But a block BEFORE the Five Guys is the little local sandwich shop (Earl's, not affiliated with the Earl of Sandwich) I work at, which I think even tops Five Guys (mainly because Five Guys only serves their burgers cooked well-done)... Which also happens to roast whole turkeys for their turkey sandwiches and have what we've heard many people call the best roast beef (freshly roasted top-round) sandwiches in the DC area, in addition to a number of other things (hand-cut fries, cookies baked from scratch, pork sandwiches, pork soda)...
I'm just sayin', is all I'm sayin'... Five Guys is good, but I think their reputation is a tad bit overblown...
On another note, I'm not really a big fan of french fries... But Arby's curly fries... nummy nummy...
