    Is that a nationwide thing? It feels weird over here, but yeah, it seems like a lot of the midrange/sit down restaurant small chains just never changed their prices.

      The smaller restaurants kept their prices tracking actual inflation to maintain their customer base. Lately they have been enjoying increased business because of the nationals screwups.

      The local Greek place $65.

      The best taco truck in town is $55.

      For $75 I can get my local family owned Thai place with leftovers for the next day.

      DQ, McD, Subway, KFC, all run between $60-75.

      For $70 I can even get my family chipotle and enjoy the guaranteed food poisoning a few hours later.
