All the advertising images lack anything to scale off, so I'm not sure how it is even possible to misrepresent the size. The ratio of the patty size to the bun is definitely different though.

But would you feel ripped off at getting the burger in the 2nd picture?

I always do Bobby. But not because of the size.

Hi FD -
I'd like you to go to a Five Guys Burger joint nearest to you and tell us all
if you finally had a hamburger which exceeded your expectations?
Please take pics.

$36.50 receipt for just burger, fries and small drink

Gee wizz - that would have to be the best burger in the world to cost that much. Shocked

Never tried one, but the reviews are pretty bad.
So many places that serve a decent burger for under $15

Many proper restaurants in Melbourne will make you a top burger. Wink

What sort of nong would return there, for a second purchase ?

I'm glad that my local shire of Hepburn, with the support of locals in Daylesford, Hepburn Springs and Eganstown has been victorious.

Applications by everything from KFC, McDonalds - and every other American fast-food chain have been successfully blocked.
We already have a roast chicken shop, a fish and chip shop and burger shop that
meet the community's needs, just fine

*and a burger "with the lot"
(you can barely wrap your mouth around)
still goes for under ten bucks !

It is rather disingenuous to compare them to McDonalds and Hungry Jack's though. Probably a more valid comparison would be with Grill'd, which would probably be the closest both in terms of the product and with positioning in the marketplace. Five Guys still comes out a bit more expensive though, with their most expensive burger being $21.00, whereas the most expensive ones at Grill'd are $17.90.
