Being respectful to their business, I do not ask them to change anything about their restaurant, only having bigger signs on the outside of the restaurant stating they use peanut oil. Its not easy, esp in a social setting, like when they are with peers. My favorite locations are the one in Greenwich Village (296 Bleecker Street) and the one the one in Brooklyn Heights (138 Montague Street), though that’s probably just because I like the surrounding neighborhoods. Five guys was ok, but so not worth the hype. The meat is cooked on a separate grill from the buns & I can get grilled onions & mushrooms to go along with it – as well as all the other fixings you’d normally find. My oldest has a milk senstivity. It’s way better than Five Guys. Though please remember that there is always a risk of cross contamination, so definitely use caution. We walked in, saw the peanuts everywhere, and promptly backed out and left in a hurry! Nonsense. But I inadvertently sent him in blind. I went to Five Guys with my daughter tonight for the first time having heard such rave reviews about how great the fries and burgers. Five Guys fry their fries in refined peanut oil, now legends say that super refined peanut oil shouldn't contain the proteins that are so deadly to nut/peanut allergy sufferers. Since Five Guys are making a boatload of cash, they really dont care about any of us. I asked my husband, “How was Five Guys Burgers?”. I go to places I like and order things that I know are good and safe to eat. They should be legally required to display a very strong level of notice that is completely in the face of the customer without any chance of misinterpretation. I get that peanuts are Five Guys ‘thing’, but why have bins everywhere and on the walls? [At this point, the author shares how allergy-friendly Uno’s is and the boys’ great experience there that night. They must think the axis of the earth runs through their head. A: Our rolls contain both soy and dairy. the oil has none of the protein in it. It’s a very small sign that my husband I both missed when entering the restaurant. – Donna, the FAQ on their site (the link is in the blog entry) addresses dairy and gluten too. I can’t imagine why a restaurant would feature peanuts when there are so many folks today who are allergic, but I guess they are successful enough without that particular consumer segment. Tanya – When a Five Guys opened next door to my son`s martial arts gym, I stopped in to check it out. I calmly asked for a manager and strongly pointed out that what they just did if I hadn’t caught it would have made me very sick for the next week and raise my chance of all cancers. Or if a worker were to make a simple/stupid mistake that’s not worth the risk of implementing alternative cooking methods for their fries. And again, the core AllergyEats site is a great resource to start your restaurant research. There are tons of people with allergies, but it’s still a small portion of the population. In my opinion fried cooked in good ole beef grease are the best, and I quite eating McDonalds and all other fast food place fried when they started being politically correct and stopped using real grease. Taquanda – The burger are good when I visited there. another is inhalation type, so she only needs to SMELL any peanut …product and she has a reaction. The fact of the matter is, fries that are cooked in peanut oil just taste better in MY opinion. It’s for this reason that if the only soy product in an item is soybean oil, under law it is excluded from having to be listed as containing soy. I heard they’re not so great anyway. Peanuts, Burgers, and Fries are Five Guys. And for me the peanuts add to the fun of Five Guys. This is where AllergyEats (www.allergyeats.com) could have served as a great resource. He added that they finally found a seat at a counter, right next to a tower of peanut boxes stacked on cans of peanut oil. For your convenience the kitchens in all of our restaurants are always kept open so our customers may watch their food be prepared. When I go out, I can never eat hot dogs or pepperoni’s because most places uses mechanically separated chicken. Okay, now the REAL reason I’m commenting is because I am allergic to what is normally heard of as MSG. Fortunately their burgers and fries are nothing special, so you’re not really missing anything. We are going to have the test done where they can see what part of the protein you are allergic too and if that is the anaphylactic one. Users can also save favorite restaurants, share search results or reviews, follow other diners with similar food allergies, make restaurant reservations, view restaurant menus and more – all for free on the AllergyEats app and website. It’s way better than The Burger Bistro. they don’t realize that residue remains. . They’re trying more than others. But don’t complain because one restaurant uses peanut oil and has peanuts. We watch environments. There’s no reason for them to stop cooking their fries in peanut oil because it’s obvious that the place is covered in peanuts, but remember that not everyone has your allergy and there’s a ton of more places that people with gluten intolerances can’t enjoy. Katie – I have no problem with 5 Guys. Donna – Katie, my daughter is anaphylaxic to milk also and I thought Red Robin was great but it depends on which manager is there which day because some seem clueless while other are so wonderful…. Shared lines, etc. I am allergic to tree nuts not peanuts so it would not be a problem for me but it would be for my severely allergic son, fortunately he does not eat meat so he would not find himself at the restaurants but it makes me wonder if they are free with their peanuts at the airport where containment would be more of a problem since the space is wide open to the main terminal. Its everywhere. Even having a mild peanut allergy I have tried fried cooked in peanut oil and was not impressed. My son was at school lunch when a boy next to him offered him a fry from his left over dinner the night before. The peanut oil is refined removing the proteins that cause an allergic reaction. – Tanya, the FAQ on their website (again, linked from the blog page) specifically addresses that customers should NOT be bringing peanuts outside for the very reason you mentioned. And let’s not forget that so many, many people have non-Big 8 allergies. I’m sure they’d be willing to show you the packaging if you asked, though. Try finding restaurants that are soy free! So peanut allergy people just have to learn that Five Guys is not a restaurant that they should go to. Further, we must ask these same questions again and again at those restaurants we typically dine at! Never double-checked with them, but I’ve never had any issues with it. Why wouldn’t you do your research before you sent someone with allergies to a restaurant??????? ( Log Out / That is scary. I actually emailed them on their website stating this, and no one from the company even bothered to respond to me—I can only assume bc they figure I’ll never be a paying customer. I only saw signs stating how great their food was and look on Zagat. ———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————. Their burgers aren’t anything to die for, but they’re certainly a few (large) steps above those of the McDonald’s/Burger King/Wendy’s ilk. Katie – My comment wasn’t meant to start a what allergy is the hardest debate. Q: Why can’t we take peanuts outside? If they were made to get rid of peanuts or to stop cooking their food in peanut oil, their food would taste different – and they would be just like many other ho-hum burger shops. I have seen many people posting that they wish 5 guys used vegetable oil instead of peanut oil. We cannot possibly know every restaurant, right? My solution is to NOT eat there. I had a feeling it was mine. Even if you don’t dine at 5 guys you need to remember your protocols and not just take food and assume it’s safe. Give us this one. Now it’s a totally different story if one cannot be in the same room with peanuts because of the boxes of them around the restaurant. The potatoes aren’t fried with anything else so there’s no contamination there either. I don’t expect to be able to eat at Long John Silvers, Red Lobster, or Joe’s Crab Shack. Its scary. You have tons to choose from! The first time I went to one we left our children at home to go Christmas shopping (they are the ones with the food allergies). Our growth has been tremendous, but there is still so much more to go. Burgers and Peanuts ARE Five Guys. Can they not put them in a bin with a lid along with all the other bulk nuts and bulk goods?
