Five Guys’ Hamburgers Replace Chin’s Asia Fresh
Short Orders
Poor Chin’s Asia Fresh: The Pan-Asian eatery at the
corner of Oakland
and Locust (2907 N. Oakland Ave.)
closed a few months ago. The space is now a fury of construction as it is
converted into Five Guys, a Virginia-based chain that specializes in hamburgers
billed as juicy, greasy and delicious. The soothing lounge-like interior of
Chin’s is being converted into an eye-catching sea of red-and-white checked
tile. The menu will be simple, with just burgers, dogs and fries. The meat is
never frozen and all toppings are free. Will this give the nearby George Webb
some competition? Time will tell.
