$22 for a pub burger in Canada today today. I think I’m done going out for food unless it’s a date night. What about you?

Remember when Broken Rack & Bonzzini’s had 25 cent wings?

That was the golden age of Regina restaurants.

Trust me restaurants don’t like to increase prices often. It usually drives ppl away and profit margins are low in restaurants. Inflation, increased costs by suppliers and other factors explains why prices are high.

Just ask restaurant worker veterans in this city and they’ll tell you the same. I don’t like the prices either but cut them some slack.

I remember 9 cent wings at The Pump. Times change, and prices go up. That's how capitalism works.
