OMAHA, Nebraska (KETV) Burgers, wings and barbecue: These classic sports bar meals are costing restaurants more to keep CWS fans full.
“You got to have it, you got to have it,” said Ross DiPrima, operator and owner of the Jackson Street Tavern.
Jackson Street Tavern is located in the Old Market near 12th and Jackson.
DiPrima said an uptick in meat prices has the restaurant paying meat providers double for chicken wings and much more for steak.
“The filet that I buy has gone up literally 75% from the time I was buying it previously,” he said.
He said paying the extra price is worth it for the business the CWS brings.
