A battle royale of burger bosses took over The Theater at MGM National Harbor Wednesday night before a packed house of Five Guys crew members and employees.
A grand prize of $100,000 is at stake to the fastest and most accurate in three events: the potato race, cheese stack race and QC wrapping race.
Every two years, a frenzy builds at Five Guys with the best crew members battling it out for $100K and ultimate bragging rights.
Each event in the Five Guys Games is designed to test skill, speed and acumen. Contestants with the lowest overall times are deemed winners. Teammates compete first on a local level and advance through the bracket until eight contestants compete for the coveted crown.
In this race, competitors must stack one block of cheese, so that every other slice has its corners exposed. The finalized stack of cheese must be wrapped in two pieces of tin foil.
Competitors dress, wrap and ticket an All The Way burger and hot dog. Penalties are assessed for incorrectly dressing a sandwich, missed toppings, improper wrapping and more.
In this test of strength, endurance and precision, contestants must cut an entire 50-pound bag of potatoes as quickly as possible. Partially cut potatoes or potatoes not cut result in penalties.
Let the games begin. Let the games begin.
