(And In-N-Out patties aren't really that thin - as in McDonald's thin.)

Very good hamburgers and fries, I try to avoid it though due to the mental image of what would happen to my arteries if I indulged as much as I would like to at Five guys.

There's one in the airport? No fair... 
Granted my layover in DCA was outside its operating hours (AS 6 was 2+ hours late getting in past 11 @ night and leaving on 5 @ 9 AM...)
But I digress...

My guess is because they are the same "style". Hand made burgers, hand pulled shakes, fresh buns, and fresh cut fries. But 5G also has a few things that InO doesn't, such as hot dogs, cajun fries, and bacon (not to mention the peanuts). I am sure I am forgetting a few other menu differences, but I try not to go too often.

The first time I tried Five Guys last fall, I wasn't impressed at all.
I did have Five Guys yesterday for lunch and really enjoyed it, but what annoys me is the ala carte pricing. If I had wanted a burger, fries, and a soda, it'd have been nearly $10. That, to me, is a little too expensive.

...but if you ordered the ketchup, mayo and relish you can approximate a T-I topping if that is what you are jonesing for and you are at a FGs.
