Best new fast food
Five Guys Burgers and Fries
Other nominees: Go! Go! Curry, Maoz, Zen Burger
New York foodies typically treat fast-food eateries with a revulsion reserved for the Red Sox. But upon the arrival of this Washington, D.C., chain, burger maniacs lined up like it was the second coming of Shake Shack. Understandably so. Heat-lamp-hating Five Guys griddle-cooks its prime-beef patties to order and trumps Burger King’s your-way boast with 15 customizable toppings, such as jalapeños, mushrooms and fried onions. Even better, zippy Cajun fries are hand-cut and fried crisp in peanut oil—a treat as tasty as the free peanuts available by the fistful. Multiple locations; go to fiveguys.com for more info.

Apparently the readers of this magazine have no BBQ experience whatsoever if they think hill country is the best! I know there is a shortage of good BBQ in NYC, but even Dallas BBQ is better than this overpriced garbage chain! Daisy Mae's, RUB, hell, the mcRib is better than hill country! If you like paying 10 bucks for a mexican coke that tastes like every other coke in the world, and carrying a bunch of subpar smoked meats all over a buffet restaurant then by all means, enjoy!
