“We have the cheapest meat in the world because our dollar is cheap enough,” Troy Vetterkind, the owner of Vetterkind Cattle Brokerage in Chicago, said in a telephone interview. Menu Prices Wholesale-beef prices are up 21 percent in the past year, and the retail cost for consumers reached a record $4.489 a pound in August, USDA data show. “We can expect higher prices yet,” Vetterkind said. Higher beef costs led to two menu-price increases this year at Louisville, Kentucky-based Texas Roadhouse, with more than 350 restaurants across 46 states, and at Cracker Barrel, which has more than 600 locations in 42 states. You see. Have the cheapest beef and the menu prices are increasing.
