They're tricking normalfags into paying insane amounts of money for a fast food burger and fries. Pretty soon every other fast food restaurant is gonna catch on and start raising their prices as well. Five Guys is the end of fast food (and their food isn't even that good either).

This was the only reason to ever eat there more than the rare occasion when you didn't want to clean up since practically nobody is frying fresh-cut fries in peanut oil at home. Basically everyone can make a Five Guys burger from Wal Mart ingredients if you have a large steel frying pan and a heavy spatula just as long as you don't mind stinking up your kitchen.

Once they stopped giving you the bag full of fries it was ogre for me.

Wendys burgers are pretty good, but smaller and only $3-4 dollar difference to their five guy counterpart burgers.
Given the size to price ratio, Wendys isn't worth.

Five Guys has been a nationwide brand for how many years and you think other fast food restaurants just haven't heard about them yet? Five Guys can charge that much because their brand is high quality burgers at premium prices. You think McDonald's is just gonna undo 80 years of branding as affordable fast food to chase the Five Guys crowd? Lol don't post again

Sort of. It's because Chinese goods got stuck for a year + in port, the trucking industry was preparing to shift over to automated trucks on high ways and had laid off a bunch of drivers, wages increased indirectly due to a post covid push for better pay and a whole host of other issues, including simple greed since companies are testing how high they can jacks prices up.

pretty sure people have caught on to five guy's blatant overpricing.

You get unlimited free peanuts from them so it balances out plus I'll put on all the toppings I can get for free when I go there (which is rarely) so I'm not being completely robbed.

There is absolutely positively NOTHING special about a Five Guys burger. If you have a heavy spat and a large steel skillet you can make one at home thats just as good with Wal Mart ingredients. Not a single distinctive ingredient or preparation inherent to their recipe. The fries are a bit more difficult / complicated but the burgers you can absolutely make at home.

The proposition with Five Guys was being able to get it fast and cheap with a big sack of those fries and not have to clean up. That proposition is kinda shaky at this point if I'm spending $15 minimum and they're skimping on the fries.

I've never had a burger that I've enjoyed more than a five guys burger. I actually don't know what it is in particular about it but I always find them especially satisfying. I've had plenty of restaurant burgers. I've had a ton of burgers prepared by friends and family. I've been to other, privately-owned burger joints. I never enjoy them anywhere near as much.

The only burger I remember enjoying as fondly was one I got at a drive-thru.

You probably just like the diner smash burger / Oklahoma style burger. I don't blame you. It's best burger, but seriously you could make it at home with a few key pieces of kitchen equipment, a little practice, and tolerance for grease. Five Guys is indeed really good but there is nothing special or unique about it in the the context of that style.
