Five Guys
A burger restaurant on West 55th Street in Midtown, part of the Five Guys chain. The chain's published allergen material is unusually direct: it states peanuts are served in every restaurant and that cross-contact is always a risk, while also stating no menu items contain tree nuts. It suits diners who want a chain's allergen position stated plainly in advance, including peanut-allergic diners who need the peanut presence disclosed, based on the chain's published pages.

- Is there a separate prep area, boards and utensils for allergy orders?
- How is an allergy order flagged and communicated to the kitchen, so it cannot be mixed up?
- How are staff trained on food allergies, and how often is that training refreshed?
- Which parts of the kitchen, if any, are kept free of my allergen?
