They need 501: one in ANC.
I have always found it insane that McD's keeps getting, year over year, the win on "best fries." I can't stand McD's fries--thin and anemic, soggy and not crispy, and WAY too salty (oh, and they don't decompose...c.f. the DVD extras on Super Size Me). Give me Wendy's or even BK's any day (well, if I have to choose a fast-food fry).

My Five Guys experience is only limited to about three dines, but I don't recall a soggy bun at all. Also, I'm not a fan of salty foods (I NEVER add salt to any dish I eat--ever) and find even McDonald's fries to be overly salted, but I don't recall thinking the same of Five Guys'. I might suggest trying the Cajun fries next time at Five Guys--those are the bomb!
