About this episode

The episode discusses the opening of Five Guys at the Plaza Hotel & Casino with insights from Ed Pizzarello.

Jonathan and Gary sit down with Ed Pizzarello to announce that Five Guys is officially coming to the Plaza Hotel & Casino, bringing the first downtown location of the brand to the property. Ed shares the story behind Five Guys, which started as a family-run burger shop in 1986 in Arlington, built on simple principles like fresh ingredients, no freezers, unlimited toppings, and those famous peanuts and extra fries. The conversation dives into the two-year process to bring the concept downtown, plans for the Plaza location near the South Tower with a patio, and even a future hot dog cart near the Carousel Bar. They also touch on new menu tests like boozy milkshakes and breakfast before wrapping up the episode with a giveaway of 10 "eat free for a year" prize.
