Where about do you live? I haven't had a crazy price hike on beef and pork, have access to lamb and venison, and live on the coast with super cheap seafood.
I'm in New England. Beef prices have more than doubled in the last 5 years, and Pork went from cheaper than chicken to almost as expensive as beef, with most local restaurants having larger price hikes on their pork dishes than any other dish.
Scallops on the other hand are down 50% wholesale. If only I weren't allergic to them (and I have Scallopers in my family, so I can get them for free). I remember local seafood places when the scallops were the only non-lobster dish over $20. Now, I can get a scallop plate for $14 at a restaurant where the swordfish is $27.
Lmao fucking yank. All of the meat is cheaper in the south rn, and in Florida I have access to all the meats I listed earlier.
Lucky! I unfortunately do not.
