I'd heard a lot about Five Guys Burgers and Fries before I had the opportunity to try them on the way home from my partner's mother's wedding rehearsal dinner recently, having watched everyone else chow down on a selection of gluteneous homemade Italian foods at her soon-to-be husband's home. Don't get me wrong -- it was very sweet of them to provide Liberty and I with gluten-free pasta & separate sauce, especially given they ran out to buy a second package on the day when they believed they overcooked the first, but the kid & I were starving. So it was a relief to see a quick & inexpensive restaurant about which I had heard so many good gluten-free things on the "Find Me Gluten Free" app I have on my smartphone (which I highly recommend and will be covered separately in a later post).We stopped at the Randolph location with only 10 minutes to spare before closing and a napping baby in the car; the staff didn't grumble about my partner's need to run in, ask the gluten-free question, run out to get my order, and run back to place it. Makes sense, though -- with a one-page menu, everything being gluten-free sans the buns & unlimited free toppings it was simple. Even the fries are gluten-free! My partner & I both ordered a gluten-free bacon cheeseburger (which is actually a double), large (obviously) Five Guys style fries & a fountain soda. For Liberty we purchased a "little" cheeseburger (which is actually a single) & her own regular fries; as you'll know from previous posts, my child has quite an appetite.
My partner returned to the car quite quickly, conveniently at about the time Liberty awoke, with two paper bags stuffed full of yummy-smelling American food.
