Have y’all been to Five Guys Inflation and Fries

[sparked1]

The issue isn’t the pricing. It’s perceived value. If you went and sat down at Longhorn or Ted’s, you probably wouldn’t scoff much at a $15 burger with fries. But you think you’re at a fast food place, which you are, but the quality is as good or better in the case of Longhorn. The cost is in the food, not the experience.

I reviewed a Five Guys and said that, while the food was indeed good, the idea of a family of four having to spend nearly $60 to eat burgers and fires was preposterous. The owner replied and said almost verbatim what you said. The quality of the meat, yadda yadda yadda. And while I don't disagree...my palette isn't sufficient enough to distinguish that quality amidst all the other things on the burger. Kick rocks, nerds. I'm grilling my own.

The one in Rome and Calhoun did just that. Cookout opened right across the street from Five Guys in Calhoun and put them out in 3 weeks.

I mean, you don’t need a sophisticated palette to know a good burger from a ****ty one. But I probably love burgers more than the average person. Anyhow, I think 5 guys has a perception issue more than anything. If it wasn’t a franchise but instead a botique burger joint, like the many in Atlanta, people probably wouldn’t knock it so much. They stay busy though so they’re doing something right.

Firehouse Subs is probably pricing themselves out too.

Most of the ones near me have closed...

Overpriced greasy spoon.
