Americans Are Fed Up With Expensive And Mediocre Restaurant Food

More Americans are saying restaurant food has become both overpriced and lower quality, as menu prices have surged more than 30% since 2020 while many chains shifted toward cheaper ultra-processed ingredients and large corporate supply suppliers. Critics point to cost-cutting by private equity-owned restaurant groups and mass distributors like Sysco and Restaurant Depot, arguing the focus on shelf life and profit margins has led to bland, low-quality meals that make eating at home feel like the better option.

The study, which tracked a large Salinas Valley lettuce grower, found expanding regulations tied to food safety, labor, air quality, water use, and workplace standards have dramatically raised production costs in a state responsible for around 70% of America’s lettuce supply, fueling concerns over rising grocery prices and the impact of heavy regulation on farming.
