If you’re a lover of all things chicken, then the likelihood is that you’ve been to Nando’s at least once in your life. There’s always the temptation when choosing somewhere to eat to try something new, but there’s also beauty in sticking with what you know.

Five Guys

Five Guys needs no introduction. The fast-food chain has perfected the burger, fries, and shake combo. No matter how good that burger from a new pop-up burger stand in town is, it never quite hits the spot like a Five Guys.
