    Not Carl's Jr! I don't want to believe it.
    Actually, it's easy to believe. With the inflation going crazy
    over the past six to seven months, it's really not worth it. But this
    is the case at nearly all, if not all, restaurants. Fast food or
    other.

    Carl's Jr. have been pricey for years. Del Taco left St. Louis years
    ago. I still miss their bean&cheese burritos with extra green sauce. I
    doubt I'd often order anything else. Back in 2007, they were 99 cents.
    Now they're $1.89, which is still reasonable. I'd get them to go, and
    have extra cheese to add in the car. I got two of them every morning
    before work, so at least ten a week.

    I agree. I haven't had it in a long time, but I remember thinking
    the food was good enough to justify the higher cost. I want to believe
    this is still the case.

    I don't recall ever having Del Taco. I probably should stop by
    since there is a restaurant on Laurel Canyon, in addition to so many
    other fast food places.
