"Former chef criticizes Five Guys' 'luxury' prices after viral $24 receipt sparks outrage"

Former chef Andrew Zimmern explains that rising meat and ingredient costs, as well as the need to pay fair wages, contribute to the higher prices at Five Guys. While some customers are frustrated with the cost of a meal, the chain's use of fresh ingredients and cooking methods like peanut oil add to the expense. Despite the criticism, one person believes that the high prices reflect the true cost of quality ingredients.
