If true, that’s the best deal of all. That would be a $9 savings [$7 if it is the Little Cheeseburger] - if one were planning on going to Five Guys this week.

The Food & Wine article I read didn’t list anything for them.

Just like most observational days and holidays, yet we have Mother’s and Father's day threads, a donut and taco day thread, etc.

I don’t know what “we” expect but I as a consumer expect to take it in the neck from corporate America in the normal course of doing business.

Here’s where I would post the ‘lighten up Francis’ meme - but I’m above that kind of facile, cliched response, so I won’t do that.
