Luke could have added the specific town because he got further information from some other source that knew the details. If we were to take the account as true for the sake of argument, then there were at least 5000 witnesses (not including women and children).

They both avoid connecting the miracle with a particular town. And those are the earliest versions. It is only Luke who connects the miracle story with a specific town. And Luke even copies Mark and Matthew by stating the miracle took place in a desolate place and that the people would need to go to surrounding villages, plural, to be fed.
