Look at the increased cost of beef or bacon, and you can see other restaurants won’t be far behind.
Except the majority of RL product is sourced outside the US. That’s on them. How many Maine lobster men would love an exclusive vendor deal with a huge conglomerate. Instead they dovetail in langostino and Caribbean extensions. If you want to argue ‘supply chain’ and price point, eliminate those imports and buy US sourced product
