[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are 3-4 restaurants near my house that have food good enough that I am willing to pay for it, everything else tastes like I could have made it at home. I understand why prices have gone up, but at this point I just can’t justify spending that kind of money on something that doesn’t taste that good. [/quote]

3-4 actually sounds high.

The sad thing is that my faith in local places has really fallen and I'm so much less likely to go to them now because quality has declined as prices have skyrocketed. When we get take out, we have a couple local chains (Sundevich, Roaming Rooster) that we like and I feel their prices are still okay. But otherwise, I often just suggest we do Chipotle because their quality and prices are consistent. No, it's not amazing food but it's also never terrible and I can get a burrito bowl that will produce leftovers for less than OP's sad little BLT sandwich.

I think inflation has probably been really good for corporate chain restaurants because they have greater ability to keep costs downs. I certainly see my own eating habits migrating that way, largely for financial reasons.[/quote]
