One order of Tall, Dark and Handsome - hold the pickles

I went to Five Guys Burgers and Fries last night. Loved it. The fries were great and the burger was awesome, but the thing I was most impressed with was their process and the options. Anyone who has ever seen my shoe collection or travelled with me (and helped lug huge and very full suitcases around) knows that I LOVE having options.

At Five Guys, you can have a burger, cheese burger, bacon burger or bacon cheeseburger – or any of those in a “little” version. You can have relish or pickles, onions or grilled onions, lettuce, tomatoes, grilled mushrooms, jalapeno peppers or green peppers, mayo, ketchup, mustard, A-1 sauce, Bar-B-Q Sauce or hot sauce. Or all of the above because they are all free. OPTIONS and FREE. Very cool.

Plus – they attach a receipt to the order with little numbers for each burger which correspond to little numbers on the wrapped burgers so you know exactly which burger belongs to which person.

I was just wondering if they would consider a product alteration – something like… Five Guys Husbands and Fries (I am willing to forgo the burger for a guy, but there’s no reason to throw out the fries – right?).
