I have been wanting to compare. Looks like Five guys fries actually are better for you. Craving french fries? Go to Five guys. Just don't eat the whole bag >.< But by no means am I saying they are good for you. Duh. The burgers on the other hand have not been compared.

    Which are tastier, McD's fries or five guys? I've never been to five guys.

    Also I find 572 grams of fries totally ridicoulous, who needs all that? I already think the large fries at Mickey D's is big enough. I wonder what Morgan Spurlock would say about that, I remember him talking about how supersized meals at Mcdonalds were too much...

    Depends on what I'm in the mood for. McDonald's and Five Guys have completely different types of fries.

    I won't eat In N Out's fries unless they are animal style.
