Restaurant bills just won't quit. Since March 2020, dining out costs have surged 35%—the steepest climb across all travel spending categories. Your wallet's probably felt it. This inflation snapshot hits different when you realize how much more you're paying for the same burger and fries combo. Food prices aren't just numbers on a chart anymore; they're reshaping consumer behavior and squeezing discretionary budgets everywhere.

35%? Damn, the burger combo I ordered last week is almost as big as a full meal. What the hell is this inflation.

A 35% increase is crazy. It's really unaffordable to dine out now, better to cook for myself.

ngl the 35% thing reminds me of UST in May... everything looked theoretically stable until it didn't. restaurant inflation's basically a risk-adjusted returns nightmare for anyone living paycheck to paycheck, statistically speaking

Wow, 35%? I have to think twice even before having a meal now.
