Beef Prices Steak Luxury Hats

Ground beef is around $6.75 a pound, up nearly 13% year over year. Steak is around $12.80, up 16%, the second-highest on record. The US cattle herd is the smallest it has been in roughly 75 years. Every outlet from CNBC to Fortune to Axios has run the same headline: beef is becoming a luxury. Here is the part that makes it funny instead of sad. Demand did not crack. Americans looked at the price of a ribeye, made a small noise, and put it in the cart. NielsenIQ calls beef an affordable luxury, meaning a splurge people protect while cutting everything around it. Steak night got promoted from a Tuesday to an occasion, and the people who own grills have not surrendered an inch. So this collection is not a complaint, it is a position. IN THIS ECONOMY? MEDIUM RARE. THE GRILL DOESN'T CARE ABOUT THE ECONOMY. I FINANCED THIS BRISKET, said by someone who will tell you the internal temperature unprompted. Mostly set in Alfa Slab One, which is the butcher-shop slab serif this subject has always deserved, with the longer deadpan lines in PT Serif.
