I seriously doubt there will be any slow down in inflation for a while. Politics and fear and draconian responses to the pandemic have created countless problems.
I recently saw 2 x 4 selling for just under $10, when the last one I bought was $2.77. Gasoline went up 80 cents in 2 months and is still climbing. So this all must impact the food industry.

Spot on. In addition, people have to realize that this may be the owner's only source of income. After all expenses, including State of NH Business Enterprise Tax, Business Profits Tax, and Federal Income Tax, the restaurant owner may have a few crumbs left to put food on his own table. With the path we're currently on, it's only going to get worse before it gets better. People that can't afford, or don't want to pay these inevitable restaurant price increases better develop a taste for Taco Bell.
