    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.
