One of my favorite burger places is Five Guys.  I found them shortly before learning that I needed to go gluten free.  One thing you learn when going gluten free is that if you can’t find a burger enjoyable without a bun, then it’s very likely not a quality burger!  Five Guys is definitely a burger place that I enjoy without a bun!

One of the other best features of Five Guys though is their fresh cut french fries!  For people with Celiac’s disease, it’s one of the rare places you can safely eat french fries!  They do not fry anything else in their frier and their fries are 100% potatoes without added breading so they can be safe to eat!

Last time I was at a Five Guys, it was their Bethel Road location in Columbus Ohio.  I asked for a Bacon Cheese Burger, no bun and they automatically asked if I had an allergy!  I stated ‘yes’ even though Celiac disease isn’t an allergy, but she took that and put a note on our ticket!  I also said no bun for our oldest and she again asked about an allergy.  It was great to find a place that was super conscious of our food needs.  Most people just look at you like you’re crazy when you ask for a burger with no bun!  I felt like they took extra care of both of us by putting that note right on our ticket so the staff cooking knew to be extra careful with cross contamination.  Neither of us got sick and enjoyed our burger and fries!

Thanks Five Guys!
