SEPTEMBER 17-23, 2014 UCW 33 Best of Fayetteville Best Hamburger Five Guys Burgers and Fries 2811 Raeford Rd/ 419 Cross Creek Mall/ 411 Ramsey St. 910.485.3400/910.764.2314/910.48.6020 www.fiveguys.com Five guys started small. In 1986, it was a family-run restaurant that served hand formed burgers and fresh-cut and fried in only 100 percent peanut oil. It quickly became successful. Though the original restaurant has ballooned into 1,000 locations nationwide with another 1,500 in the works, the personal touches and quality are still present in every location. The ideals that make this place such a success are simple. Nothing is ever frozen, the burgers are made from only fresh ground beef. This ensures quality in every bite. For a first time customer to Five Guys the simplicity may be jarring at first. Each burger starts simple with bread and a delicious hand formed patty. Toppings are available, creating more than 250,000 options. Best Hot Dogs Hot Diggidy Dog 106 Roxie Ave/ 1118 Ramsey St 910.426.1300/910.485.3644 www.facebook.com/pages/Hot-Diggidy- Dog/133164230089974 Hot dogs, what could be more American? Many restaurants treat the hotdog as an after thought, a last minute addition for the picky eater. This is a mistake. When treated right, few things are as fulfilling as a fantastic hotdog. There is something magical about a great hotdog. A flavorful well made sausage, the kind that snaps when you bite it, set aloft in a sweet soft pillow of a bun and topped with whatever you're heart desires is a perfect meal any time of day and Hot Diggidy Dog is the place to get it. Besides the incredible quality is the wide variety of toppings. There are, of course, all of the classics like ketchup, chili, coleslaw and cheese. But there are also the more creative options like the BLT hotdog. This is a bacon wrapped fried hotdog covered in lettuce, tomatoes and mayonnaise. Best Chili Wendy's 300 Owen Dr./ 2903 Raeford Rd / 3748 Ramsey St 910.484.2024/910.323.1834/910.488.3858 www.wendys.com On a chilly or even a brisk day, nothing can warm your bones and stick to your ribs like a great bowl of chili. But why relegate it to a season, this amazing chili is an anytime food. Beans, beef, onions, tomatoes and spices left to simmer together in a pot for a few hours makes a meal. Wendy's chili is incredibly meaty, rich and flavorful. Whether it is slathered atop a burger, resting on a nest of fries or just in a bowl, it is always a great decision and a exceptional meal. Since Wendy's first opened in 1965, the philosophy behind the food has been to strive for high quality food. Nothing is frozen and only the best ingredients are used. This guarantees that every bite is great. While most associate Wendy's with their fantastic burgers, the philosophy and quality extends to the entire menu and through all of the many Wendy's restaurants.
