Airport food is a total racket. I mean, everything you buy at an airport costs like, four times as much as it does anywhere else, because they know they’ve got you trapped – and that goes double for the places that are on the other side of security.
You’re hungry? Well, your options are nothing or this $15 tuna sandwich. Make your choice!

I’ve never eaten at one of Gordon Ramsay’s restaurants personally, but I also figure that if you’re dining at a place with a “name” attached, there’s a good chance those prices are going to be ramped up, too.
This guy, though, might have realized all that – or maybe he didn’t – but either way, he obviously thought $41 for a burger and some fries was way out of line.

Many people who replied sort of shrugged their shoulders, like, what did you expect?
£26.50 for a fancy burger and chips really isn’t that expensive.

Apparently, a burger in the London area is just a thing that requires you to pay through the teeth, for some reason.
To be fair, that ain’t bad for airport prices. I take it you ain’t been to any 5 Guys anywhere in central London ? That’s bordering fackin open wallet surgery, my pedigree chum.

People wanted to know, was the burger good, though? Was it $41 good? I sure hope so!
Well, you’re eating at a celebrity chef restaurant….at an airport. That’s not only reasonable, but I’d say you got lucky.
Also, I’d wager it was the tastiest dang hamburger you’ve ever had.— Samuel Miller (@samuelmiller64) January 30, 2021
Seriously, we all need to know (but we’re still waiting on the follow up).
It’s @GordonRamsay in an airport . What do you expect?
If it was the best burger and chips you had then surely its worth the price.

Basically, no one was really on his side. And I mean, once you see these burgers you’ll see why!

So, what say you? Was this exorbitant? Expected? Probably worth it?
