- Yup, he's still a dick. -- nm - Stephen Apr 12, 14:06
- I'll admit, the picture he has doesn't look like any burger I've ever had at Five Guys. But then, he also comes off as quite the douche. -- nm - JaxSean Apr 12, 13:58 2
  - I do like the quote at the end, though. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 12, 14:03

        I'm sure vegas has a decent number in that price range. -- nm - MDH Apr 12, 13:41 3
        
        yeah but you're still paying twice what Five Guys charges. obviously there will be a difference -- nm - charlie Apr 12, 13:43 2
