Philly cheesesteaks feeling the beef crunch

Philly’s iconic cheesesteaks are facing a real challenge as beef prices keep climbing. Ken Silver at Jim’s South St. says he’s doing everything he can to keep sandwiches affordable, but the cost of beef has jumped by a dollar per pound just since last year—on top of a huge spike after their fire. Right now, a cheesesteak is $13.49, up from $11.49 in 2022. Silver’s holding off on raising prices again, hoping things cool down after summer. Would you still grab your favorite cheesesteak if prices go up, or is there a limit? #Business #Industry #PhillyEats
