Here’s a real data point. In 1999 I used to eat at Borelli’s a few times a year. Its a very run of the mill family owned italian place in Encinitas. Not fancy in the least. I always ordered Chicken Parmesean dinner which includes side of pasta, steamed veggies, garlic bread and a salad. It used to cost $7.95 back then. I hadnt been there in years and went there last week and it was $15.95. Nothing about the food has changed except the price which doubled. That seemed quite expensive to me.
