Following the shutdowns, prices on everything went up supposedly because of "supply chain issues" and now it is because of "inflation".

The bottom line is that when you shut down businesses for two years, those businesses are looking for every reason to raise prices in order to make up for two years of lost revenue.

This.

And add to that fact that all of their supplies (and delivery of supplies) have had their prices jacked up too. It ALWAYS gets pushed to the consumer.

Alleviating the problem has a fairly simple solution. Maybe in 2024 it can begin to be corrected.

Just wait till new construction restaurants aren’t allowed to install gas stoves anymore.

New York Wok cooking will never be the same.

I doubt that happens nationwide, but if it does Louisiana will be last to implement.

Right? I know people have to make a living, but even $26 for two burgers, two bags of chips, and two waters is crazy. Throw in the fact we have to tip for everything nowadays.

Grocery bill:
$4.94/lb 80/20 ground chuck
$3.53 (8 buns)
$7 (24 pack of deli deluxe cheese)

------------------
Total grocery bill $16.56

Cost per homemade double patty smash burger:
$1.25 4 oz patty

FYI, get your ground chuck at Adrien's this week. On sale for $3.48#. You've already saved $1.46 on your total.

Adriens always has the best prices on meat and its good stuff too.

Already set for NYC. Not sure if that will apply to restaurants or not
