"We believe the beef we serve is juicy and flavorful enough without seasoning. Five Guys does not season any of its never-frozen beef patties, instead referring customers to the condiment station for salt and pepper packets should they wish to add their own seasoning to customize their burger experience."
"From a restaurant-efficiency perspective, it may not make sense for employees to take the extra time to season the patties as they cook - especially if they're going to be coated in salty toppings by the customer. Plus, if the burger is being eaten with its salty fries, the seasoning on the burger may otherwise go unnoticed."
"Just a single hamburger patty on a bun consists of 380 milligrams of sodium, but the numbers start to rise when you factor in the toppings - 400 milligrams for barbecue sauce, a little over 200 milligrams per two slices of bacon, and between 240 and 260 milligrams for pickles."
Five Guys does not season its never-frozen beef patties, a deliberate choice based on the belief that the beef is naturally juicy and flavorful. The chain directs customers to the condiment station for salt and pepper if desired. From a practical standpoint, seasoning patties during cooking adds inefficiency, especially when customers typically add salty toppings anyway. A single hamburger patty contains 380 milligrams of sodium, but this increases significantly with toppings like barbecue sauce, bacon, and pickles. Customers seeking saltier burgers can select higher-sodium toppings or use Five Guys' pre-designed combinations.
