"Why Andrew Zimmern Says Your Five Guys Order Costs $24"
Andrew Zimmern explains that rising fast food prices, exemplified by a recent viral outrage at Five Guys, are due to various factors including soaring beef costs, severe weather impacting cattle, concentration of market power among a few companies, rising prices for ingredients like buns and tomatoes, increased labor costs, and the need for fair wages and benefits for employees. He argues that Americans are emotionally addicted to low food prices and that the industry needs to charge prices sufficient to sustain their businesses and pay fair wages.
