Tuck into a guilt-free burger

Are you going carb-free but are really craving a satisfying burger? There are plenty of keto-friendly burger options in the UAE. American burger chain Five Guys claims to offer more than 250,000 burger combinations thanks to the heavily customisable menu. Some of the quarter-million options allow you to enjoy your patties absolutely bunless. And bunless doesn’t have to mean funless, you can top your meat with salad, jalapenos, pickles, mushrooms, perppers and hot sauce. Looking for a pairing partner? You can also enjoy their beef and cheese hotdogs without bun too. Dubai and Abu Dhabi, from Dhs38. @fiveguysuae
