Shrimp po-boy and an oyster po-boy yesterday at Parran's - $40 and some change. But they were GOOOOD!
Parran’s IS good but it’s a rip-off for what they charge for that short arse po-boy.

Didn't know McAllister was still operating. Every town near me where they opened up lasted for 5 or 6 years and closed down.

The "guy before him" wanted to make us energy-independent. The "guy before him" believed in reducing the burden on his own citizens.

No way a family of 4 went, got full and paid $41. That means everything was $10’ornless with drink, excluding tax.
I’be never heard of this place, but I just looked at their menu, and the kids items were around $5.50 with a drink, and the adult sandwiches were coming in at $9.99. That’s before tax, but it looks like $41 could feed a family of four.

I don't know why I remember that but it was right around the time they created the numbered order system. I ate a lot of McDonald's in HS. I was skinny as hell too.
McDonald's would do the 2 for $2 Quarter Pounder's and Big Mac's during the 90's too. College students and highschoolers would order 4 to 6 of them at a time. It was a mad house when they would do that promotion. I worked at McD's during high school in the 90's. Whopper's at BK were also .99 cents back then too.

I’ve never been much of a fan of Subway. I’m amazed on how expensive it is today

Wife no pics and two little kids at Five Guys the other day was $40. And the stupid tipping thing when all they do is throw your food in a bag. You get your own drink from a computer and run your own credit card. Boys didn't even have drinks and split a grilled cheese. We just had one large fry amongst us. Forty. Dollars. And I was still hungry (I'm 6' 170).
You dont have to tip and the food doesnt come prepared. So they didnt just put it in a bag. basically you are greatly exaggerating.

My FIL was in the hospital last year and it was the best option we had other than hospital food. Their new menu is better, but yeah, not as good as other options most places have now.

Yeah, it's a $20 bill minimum to eat at the low end sit downs now. fricking sucks, but that's what happens when you print money like an addict and frick over businesses non-stop for three years.

Strange. For my household we had determined that McAllisters is one of the cheaper family meals we have.
2 adults. 3 kids.
2 adult sandwiches. (No drinks water only)
3 kids meals (like $5 a piece)
Normally runs us like $35-$40.

My husband is inpatient at Our Lady of the Lake 5 days out of every 21 for 24 hour chemo. His appetite is pretty strong, but the food they bring him is absolute garbage. Cafeteria is ok sometimes, but not consistently. It’s important that he doesn’t lose a lot of weight, so we do a lot of Subway and Door Dash. I’m grateful that he’s able and wants to eat and that we have the resources to do it, but Door Dash is insanely expensive.

It’s amazing how people justify the current collapse we are witnessing because they don’t personally like potato’s opponent. Hyperinflation & daily catastrophic decisions. Don’t want to fry fish with the orange one, but would GLADLY trade this zero for the previous administration’s decisions.

If I am tracking chronologically, the latter "guy" is Bush with his trillions spent on Iraq? Reducing the burden you say?
Not a single one of these dopes, going back at least a hundred years, has believed in reducing the burden on his citizens. Might have been the weakest argument yet on why fast food is getting expensive.

Oh and the Biden regime hasn’t been printing trillions??? At least Trump didn’t kiss our money on LGBTQWXYZ horseshite

This was the McDonalds menu when I was in HS. $3.23 with tax got you a quarter pounder meal. I used to raid my dad's change bucket for 13 quarters pretty regularly
Those prices now look like something out of the 1960's or 1970's but in reality they were probably a little over a decade ago. This Inflation has gone bannana's. Looking back on it those stimulus checks, and all the other free money from covid may have screwed the economy for along time.
