My Beef With Beef
by Tom Purcell, May 25, 2021
There are few things I enjoy more than grilling up tasty steaks for a group of close friends, but red meat isn’t going to be on the menu this summer.
The cost of beef is higher than ever.
According to Bloomberg, “Food inflation has been inching up for months, driven by soaring commodity costs, costlier transportation and challenges securing labor.”
“Inching up” is putting it lightly.
“Soaring” would be a more accurate description thanks to COVID disruptions and the crippling government lockdown policies enacted because of them.
Restaurant Business explains that in the early months of COVID, restaurants, the largest buyers of beef, shut down – slashing demand.
