I've only eaten there twice, but my favorite burger joint is Five Guys. It's a DC thing, but it's spreading. Just like a virus. Like this great quote from Snow Crash:
The franchise and the virus work on the same principle: what thrives in one place will thrive in another. You just have to find a sufficiently virulent business plan, condense it into a three-ring binder — its DNA — xerox it, and embed it in the fertile lining of a well-traveled highway, preferably one with a left-turn lane….So, I had a Five Guys in DC when my dad was having heart surgery in DC. Had some two nights ago on the drive from Norfolk to Avon to take Bob home.
