So, I'm craving burgers right now, and though 5 Guys is closed here, I plan on celebrating the end of my exams tomorrow with a trip to 5 Guys.

That being said, too long have I ordered the bacon burger with the standard stuff. I once tried mushrooms, grilled onions, and jalapenos, though I don't think that combo worked out as well as I had hoped.

Now, I ask the denizens of this wonderful website: how should I build my burger at 5 Guys or any other burger joint? Bonus points for how I can customize a burger from Burger King.

5 guys is so good. omg. ok i always get 2x grilled mushrooms lettuce mayo and mustard, it's super simple but i use to go crazy adding shit on and it'd take me forever to order so nOW everything is just peachy. i love how they give you fries in that brown paper bag and all the grease soaks through OMGGGGGG

I usually just go with the standard burger setup and sometimes with bacon, so good. They give you so many damn fries they just overflow into the bag.

I usually get the works with my burgers and take the mushrooms off. I don't like the texture of them so I don't eat them but I do enjoy the flavor they bring to the burger. Usually save bacon for a special occasion

bacon cheeseburger all the way, every time

Five Guys is probably one of the best burger joints for the price and availability

This seems to be a promising combo. I'm going to mentally save this for my next trip.

I'm going home on the 11th, but I still have one more exam tomorrow.

This also seems like a promising combo. Last time that I tried this combo, I think they added too little bbq sauce, though I might try this combo again.

Can you guys actually finish a burger and fries by yourself? I ordered a regular hamburger (2 patties) and a regular fries last time I went. The burger was easy to finish, but the fries pretty much stuffed me until the next afternoon.

I've heard many comments about that. Unfortunately, I'm in the Midwest, and there are no In-n-Outs in sight. Luckily, one just opened near my hometown, which I probably will go to once I return from college.

It's quite easy when you stay up until 7 am watching GSL/Proleague/MSL and sleep through lunch, thus making dinner the only meal of the day.

My stomach has trained itself with plentiful Chipotle, Qdoba, and other gut-stuffing foods so that I'm quite prepared for such large portions.

Apparently, the foil is really useful for holding the burger together, though I then don't have a makeshift "plate" to work with other than several layers of napkins.
