Part 5/10:
Cheese is an essential component of any cheeseburger, and both chains have unique takes on it. Five Guys sticks to Kraft American Cheese slices, which melt generously between two beef patties, creating a delightful, gooey experience. Notably, Five Guys places the cheese between the patties, allowing for a cheesy explosion that many fans adore.
On the other hand, Shake Shack also uses American cheese but sources its cheese from Wisconsin, renowned for its dairy products. Although Shake Shack's cheese may be of higher quality, it results in less of a cheesy punch than that of Five Guys. This is a significant factor for those who crave an exceptionally cheesy burger.
