Five Guys Burgers/fries -- Gluten-free?

Hey guys,

My wife has celiac disease and prior to her diagnosis, we loved an east-coast burger place called Five Guys. Friggin incredible burgers.

Has anyone contacted them to see if their burgers would be gluten-free? Obvious without the bun... I would assume that normal ground beef should be fine right?

Anyone know about their fries? I don't believe they fry anything else -- they just sell burgers, hot dogs, and french fries.

What do you guys think? I found a Five Guys that was built near where I live in PA and I wanted to surprise my wife by taking her there tonight!

Thanks!

I have had the fries without a problem. Everything there is based on peanut oil and doing a quick look-see of the menu and kitchen (which is all open and plain view) I didn't see how the fryers could have CC issues.

A friend of mine who is gluten-free had a burger there with no bun. She didn't get sick - they just wrapped her burger and all its toppings up separately. I have yet to try eating there other than fries because I'm very suspicious of eating out anywhere.

And yes. They do have AWESOME burgers. Yum.

This is probably going to be too late for ksteak, but I did get a reply from Five Guys, so I thought I'd post it anyway.

Dear Patti,

Our burger meat and fries do not contain gluten. Our fries are cooked

in peanut oil and nothing else is cooked in the oil. Our hotdogs are

Hebrew national brand. As you know, our bread does have gluten and

although we usually toast them on a separate grill, there is chance for cross

contamination and with that please be cautious.

Thank you for your interest in Five Guys.

I LOVE THEM!

Wrote the company and ck'd web sites for local areas.

showded the manager my gluten-free resturant card, they were great.

Since I found them 4 weeks ago we've been there 3 times and we love it.

Excellent burgers and ff to boot.

Reminds me of IN & OUT BURGERS IN CA.

Agree, can stand and watch them prepare your order and see the bun guy does his thing and burger guy does his..

i just have mine on the piece of tin foil YUM!

Know it's after the fact, did you go and how did your wife do?

      Are Lindt chocolate balls gluten free?

      Wondering if anyone knows whether Lindt chocolate balls are gluten free. The Lindt Canadian website says yes but the Lindt USA website says no. The information is a bit confusing.

      CT with contrast.

      I didn’t know there were different types of CT. I’m not sure which I had. It just said CT scan with contrast.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      I had the same thing happen to me at around your age, and to this day it's the most painful experience I've ever had. For me it was the right side of my head, above my ear, running from my nerves in my neck. For years before my outbreak I felt a tingling sensation shooting along the exact nerves that ended up exactly where the shingles blisters appeared....

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I had the same thing happen to me at around your age, and to this day it's the most painful experience I've ever had. For me it was the right side of my head, above my ear, running from my nerves in my neck. For years before my outbreak I felt a tingling sensation shooting along the exact nerves that ended up exactly where the shingles blisters appeared. I highly recommend the two shot shingles vaccine as soon as your turn 50--I did this because I started to get the same tingling sensations in the same area, and after the vaccines I've never felt that again.  As you likely know, shingles is caused by chicken pox, which was once though of as one of those harmless childhood viruses that everyone should catch in the wild--little did they know that it can stay in your nervous system for your entire life, and cause major issues as you age.
