KANSAS CITY, Mo. â Kansas City is known for its barbecue, but restaurants are starting to see an alarming trend as the price for meat rises. Double on brisket, easily double on ribs, Jerry Rauschelbach, who owns of Arthur Bryant s Barbecue, said.
The beefed-up meat prices are taking a bigger bite out of restaurants budgets during a year when the pandemic already has strained many establishments.
Rauschelbach said the price for a pound of brisket, which typically costs $2.50 to $3, has climbed to $5 or more.

The Trump-Biden COVID welfare state is paying people more not to work (rather than to get off their duffs and get a job). Why work when you can sit at home and collect just as much on federal unemployment bennies? Trump began this abomination with the extra $600/week unemployment payment crap and Biden took the Trump welfare state and magnified it times 3.
