This puts the Patty Melt to shame. Instead of toppings inside of a regular grilled cheese, this burger’s ingredients are stacked between two separate grilled cheese sandwiches. You can order as many patties as you desire, and whatever free toppings catch your fancy. Pile up the ingredients, but be careful: two grilled cheeses on their own pack … Read more
Another In-n-Out competitor, the name describes the item fittingly. Five Guys’ french fries, especially spicy Cajun fries, are hailed as some of the best in town. But if they don’t provide the crunch you need, just ask for them to be well done. Order well-done fries and they’ll be fried for an extra long period, making for a … Read more
Cost: $3.50 for grilled cheese, $1.80/extra patty Take the tender, savory flavor of a tasty beef patty at Five Guys and mash it between two buttery, grilled slices of bread.

Exactly what it sounds like, this is a healthy alternative to greasy breaded or “crispy” chicken. The chicken at El Pollo Loco is already some of the best you can find, but once you cut the skin out of the equation, over 50 percent of the fat is reduced.
