We Finally Know What Makes Five Guys' Fries So Delicious

Still, it's not like the cooks are flying blind. The quality would be all over the map if employees didn't have at least some sort of method to make sure each fry at each location turns out the same. When Five Guys was featured on Destination America, an employee described the "smush test" as the way to make sure the batch is good to go. After the first cook, if you push down on the fry and it sticks together then that's a good cook. If it snaps, that's no good.

Then, for the final cooking section, which takes between two and two and a half minutes, workers know the French fries are ready to take out of the oil when the fries float to the top of the basket and the bubbles go away. In the end, each fry has a golden crunchy outside and the texture of a baked potato on the inside.

Other than the sacks of potatoes all over each Five Guys location, one of the most noticeable things a customer interacts with are the free peanuts. By some accounts, those peanuts are there to distract customers as the food cooks since making food from scratch takes a little longer than your typical fast food joint. Yet those aren't the only place you'll find a peanut product. It turns out the fries rely on peanuts as well. In September 2014, Five guys tweeted this:

"We use 100% refined peanut oil because it does a great job of sealing in flavor."

This sounds like a bummer for the millions of people in the United States who are allergic to peanuts, but peanut oil is on the safer side because of how it's processed. Essentially, refined peanut oil lacks the stuff that gives people an allergic reaction. There's nothing to be done about all those free peanuts, however, so maybe having someone go in to order take out for you is the best option.
