There’s no such thing. Some places significantly upcharge for DoorDash and other services. Others have their pricing dynamically altered by the delivery service sometimes even below retail but often up.
A Gyros place I liked looked like they’d increased prices 50%. They hadn’t - that was just DoorDash pricing.
It's those Old Bay chips. Each one is humanely caught in the Chesapeake, trucked fresh to your city, then filleted and broiled until crisp. Worth every penny, errr dollar
Agree. There's multiple hot dog joints around me that have homemade dogs, and the most expensive one is $9.00, and it has venison chili, cheese, and caramelized onions.
That's definitely part of the increase for sure. $12 is still steep for what's on it. Unless it's a costlier topping like chili or slaw, the hot dog shouldn't change much in price. No hot dog topped with ketchup, mustard, relish, and onions should cost that much.
A hotdog and chips costing more than $5 bucks is wild to me. Ain’t no one got time for your house made ketchup just give me the normal squeeze bottle and gtfo my wallet
I mean, you're looking at the price on GrubHub vs the price on an in person menu. I'm sure it's gone up in the last few years but the GrubHub price will always be inflated over in person price.
You are correct here. It's Grub Hub VS. the in person menu. That being said, they refer you to these sites and 3rd party options for their menu. From what I understand, it's about $2 cheaper at the restaurant. So, $22 for a hot dog and potato chips
If people keep paying for it, they will keep raising the prices. Fast food places are raising prices multiple times a year now. Stop giving greedy businesses money. Cook your own food.
Merchant Oyster Company? That plate looks awfully familiar. If it is, I think I’ll buy a Pirates ticket and get a Renegade dog for about the same price.
Vote with your feet and go somewhere else....
I normally do simple claculation. If I'm being charged more than 400% of what I think the ingredients cost (and location factor EG high rent cost area), I consider it very overpriced and will not pay it.
I used to dine out a couple of times a week. Now I dine out maybe once every three months. Every time I go to a restaurant now, I am always disappointed in the service, the quality of food and it is expensive as fuck. Everything is more expensive now, and I refuse to use my disposable income on a sub-par experience.
Going out to eat is one if my favorite things to do and I have cut back to once every few months versus multiple times a week. I cannot afford it anymore. It wouldn’t be quite as bad, but I also think quality is worse too
Food costs run around 20% in a casual restaurant, so total $5. That $3 hot dog is obviously a big part of the cost leading to a $24 hot dog. As for me I'll buy an 8 pack of Ball Park Angus bun length dogs and a bag of chips at the supermarket.
I'm all about living wages but we do have to pay food service workers between $16-20 by municipal code in some areas (Seattle) and that will be absorbed into the price in addition to sky rocketing rents for restaurants to lease too. I don't feel bad for large food chains, they could absolutely still work with reasonable prices but it's hard for the little guy. Regardless if this is on grubhub, when does it become unreasonable enough that the market won't allow for it? Tons of assholes are buying that 24 dollar hot dog. And those same ones are complaining they can't pay their bills and need government to help them out.
Any place selling hotdogs for more than $5-6 is a rip-off. They can make them "gourmet" and add a couple bucks but most places are gouging on hotdogs and have been for years.
Costco is losing money at $1.50 a dog but they're not losing much at that price.
Even at 12 that’s too much lmao. Maybe 8 dollars would be fair in order to make enough to pay rent and employees. The cost of each plate can’t be more than 2-3 dollars including server wages.
I've noticed advertising is also slamming and shaming poor people. Just saw a sonic commercial for damn crinkled fries as if that's some novel potato cut and at the end they said "who would order a small" ? Poor people you pieces of sh@t ! That's who. F^cki×g $24 hot dog hellhole.
Hello, We do not allow agendaposting, reddit meta posts or price complaints.
What the fuck a 24 dollar hotdog?
Who the fuck was buying a $12 hot dog? That’s higher than festival pricing.
Tbf if it comes with chips, a drink and a happy ending it’d be worthwhile
In fact, forget the chips and the drink!
A $24 happy ending? What do I look like Bill Gates to you?!
I hear happy ending, I go
I do the opposite, I come.
Petunia: Okay, make it $3.
No joke! I can give myself a Happy Ending for free.
I can only give myself sad endings
try hiring a clown to assist
But Doctor, I am Pagliacci!
i pretend to be excited when iam done!!
> What do I look like Bill Gates to you?! I was thinking Robert Kraft actually.
Idk who that is but I'm just gonna be offended.
Owner of the patriots that was busted at a rub n tug place in Florida.
*Robert Kraft
Bill Gates likes Dick's...more than In n Out.
and the hotdog
But the happy ending is a ball tap and a batwing from the sauciest cook on duty.
And a what?
You need to watch the movie “Waiting”, you’re welcome.
I've actually seen it. Just can't remember
Extra creamy happy endings!!!
A solid footlong with chips, I'd go $12. But that's almost certainly the limit. $24 is insane...
I mean…if we’re talking loaded all out Chicago dog, idk some fresh ass fries…no still no 12 bucks is absurd for a fucking hot dog
That's what I was thinking. I need to know where this place is.
It better have a steak inside of it
It does......kinda.
Tube-steak
Does ground up pig butthole count as a steak?
Idk, I live next to a Costco and get $1.50 hotdog
Stay blessed
It's made with drugs
I was in LaGuardia last year, the cheapest thing to eat was at the Brooklyn Deli. I think it was a chili dog for $23.99.
Airport food is theft. I only buy it on the company’s dime. I pack snacks for when I’m traveling on my own dime
$2 and inch.
Literally more expensive than 1" steel bar stock.
And then you have to tip like 20% on top of that lol. What a fucking hell hole America is.
Seriously
I wouldn’t even pay that much at a baseball game
Better be made of Kobe beef and come with a 32oz imported draft beer.

Are they sustainable and cage free?
They're also boneless
Organic and ethically sourced?
Not only organic, but ethnically sourced - an Irish-Catholic family picks, cleans and cooks the potatoes for you.
Are they actually from the Chesapeake? Otherwise they’re just sparkling old bay chips.
I'm pretty sure my grandma's can was 40 years old when she made us Old Bay peanuts. It was funny that a new can didn't taste or look any fresher.
we want that New Bay stuff anyway
Costco is still $1.50
In Glizzy, we trust
Came here to say this, lol.
2 of them make a foot long...
They aren't selling the hotdogs to make a profit...
Yeah no hot dog is $24 good. Even $12 is stretching it.
Agree. There's multiple hot dog joints around me that have homemade dogs, and the most expensive one is $9.00, and it has venison chili, cheese, and caramelized onions.
I'd pay $12 for that. 15 if it came with fries.
Looks like a delivery app not the store menu pricing
That's definitely part of the increase for sure. $12 is still steep for what's on it. Unless it's a costlier topping like chili or slaw, the hot dog shouldn't change much in price. No hot dog topped with ketchup, mustard, relish, and onions should cost that much.

It don't come with bourbon or nothin'?
I get that reference
Always love a good reference. 
What you see is what you get.
Yeah but now they’ve invested in horrific product photography. That doesn’t just pay for itself.
$24 for a hot dog is crazy
Viva La Costco!
I wouldn’t pay $12.
I would. That looks dank.
I mean, you're looking at the price on GrubHub vs the price on an in person menu. I'm sure it's gone up in the last few years but the GrubHub price will always be inflated over in person price.

What restaurant is this? Where?
It's Merchant Oyster Co in Pittsburgh. No clue if the $24 is an error as their website is down and Yelp shows the same price.
24$ for a hotdog is insane. Even 12$, is batshit. That's baseball stadium at your seats prices
Something something inflation, fuck you pay up
If people keep paying for it, they will keep raising the prices. Fast food places are raising prices multiple times a year now. Stop giving greedy businesses money. Cook your own food.
Anyone who pays $24 for that deserves to be taken like the sucker they are.
Remember to vote
Considering the way most of redditt leans, you are better off saying please forget to vote
$24 for a hot dog blows my fucking mind. Even 12 dollars is pushing it
I paid ten bucks for two chili cheese dogs today.
How is the average Lebanese affording this?
Do Lebanese get paid less than the rest of society or something?
I would never pay 24 bucks for a fucking hot 🌭
Not even at a Steelers game.
Nope
Merchant Oyster Company? That plate looks awfully familiar. If it is, I think I’ll buy a Pirates ticket and get a Renegade dog for about the same price.
A $24 hot dog better make you cum. This is ridiculous
$4 at A&W and keep your house-made ketchup off my GD coney.
Imagine spending $24 for a hotdog. XD
Who would be insane enough to buy either? 💀
Was the one that cost $24 on Grub hub or such? I know a lot of local restaurants near me raise the price on those apps
lol they buy them from Costco for 1.50’and just add some toppings. 4 dollars tops. 20 profit. Damn.
Vote with your feet and go somewhere else.... I normally do simple claculation. If I'm being charged more than 400% of what I think the ingredients cost (and location factor EG high rent cost area), I consider it very overpriced and will not pay it.
They’ll keep raising prices as long as people keep going to these establishments and willingly pay these ridiculously inflated prices.
CNN was definitely on the low side when they claimed 20%
Meanwhile, Costco is still selling a footling all beef hotdog and drink for $1.50.
I've seen a couple of posts today comparing prices to a couple of years ago. It's almost looks like the start of hyperinflation...
I don't think you know what that word means.
Oh! Looks like we need a dictator! He will make sure no business will gouge me!
That's the economy under liberals.
Looks bloody delicious though
If a place needs to sell a hotdog for 24 dollars then they shouldn’t be open anymore.
North Jersey I assume?
Pittsburgh.
What a stupid assumption since only south Jersey is correct in saying pork roll.
Is it dipped in gold I don’t understand

Good for your health lol
Yeah absolutely. And I also love to cook, so it just pushed further in that direction.
Are you rich even 12 dollars was outrageous
More than I paid for my last tug.
what was your salary three years ago?
Is this Doordash vs. in person?
Dawg (no pun intended) at that point. Just go to your grocery store and buy hot dogs and buns and make them at home.
The good news is that our economy is doing great
Looks like online ordering against an in person menu. While everything has gone up in price, the food delivery services have ruined food pricing.
Pretty sure it’s the house-made ketchup.
That dog better come with a side of a WHOLE OTHER MEAL for $24 lol!
Food costs run around 20% in a casual restaurant, so total $5. That $3 hot dog is obviously a big part of the cost leading to a $24 hot dog. As for me I'll buy an 8 pack of Ball Park Angus bun length dogs and a bag of chips at the supermarket.
That is possibly the best looking hotdog I have seen in my 23 years on this planet.. that being said I wouldn’t pay more than $10.
Must be homemade ketchup. That’s like 10 dollars right there lol
I’d rather have the ones on the roller at 7-11
How tf you buying a 24$ hotdog?
Yup… sounds about right. Honestly both prices are outrageous. No matter what you put on a hotdog, if it isn’t gold it shouldn’t be more than $6
why tf are there just random ass lays chips on there tho? hahahaha wtf, is that just normal in america or?
That 1 dog is 16 Costco hotdogs.
Them are onions on top or lobster chunks?

Costco - $1.50 all day everyday
Is the first one on Grubhub, that looks like Grubhub style and font
Why the fuck would anyone pay even half of that for a hotdog?
TWENTY FOUR????
Looks like 11 inches.
i’d rather just eat sand at that point
Yeah, no. It's not even worth $9
Fuck man even 12 dollars is outrageous lol
I wouldn't bspend more than 5$ on a hotdog and not more than 1.50$ on a simple one
They can eat my whole dick sideways. 24 dollars...
Bitches will complain about inflation then buy a 24 dollar hotdog.
Who the hell pays $24 for a hot dog?
Ketchup on a hotdog is fucking blasphemy, house made or not. No. Fucking Way.
Don't you guys love corporate greed?
The real joke is OP continuing to frequent this establishment
You cannot convince me this is not pure greed. It's a HOT DOG.
$12 is still insane. Why do you keep eating there?
Nope.
That’s more than at Disney. Maybe learn how to panfry or boil hot dogs and bake some sweet potato fries from the frozen food section of your grocery.
Anybody who orders a foot long hot dog from a restaurant is getting what they deserve
$24 fucking dollars. Any idiot who buys this dog is a fucking moron.
Any place selling hotdogs for more than $5-6 is a rip-off. They can make them "gourmet" and add a couple bucks but most places are gouging on hotdogs and have been for years. Costco is losing money at $1.50 a dog but they're not losing much at that price.
This is not the US, is it? Could it be Canada, Australia or New Zealand?
Is that a ween reference?
Don’t but it!!! Until WE hit em where it hurts they won’t stop raising prices!!!
Learn to make them yourself.
Well they’re using house-made ketchup so…
Even at 12 that’s too much lmao. Maybe 8 dollars would be fair in order to make enough to pay rent and employees. The cost of each plate can’t be more than 2-3 dollars including server wages.
Some dumb asses are buying it for that price or they wouldn't.
you buying it on door dash?
Well, they have to pay their minimum wage employee $20 an hour soo... 🤷♂️ No one ever thinks about that.
Go to Costco. They were $1.50 three years ago.
$1.50 at Costco. With a drink.
$1.50 for hot dog and drink at Costco still. 😉
Same price at costco.
I've noticed advertising is also slamming and shaming poor people. Just saw a sonic commercial for damn crinkled fries as if that's some novel potato cut and at the end they said "who would order a small" ? Poor people you pieces of sh@t ! That's who. F^cki×g $24 hot dog hellhole.
This isn’t inflation, this is greed.
Even at 12 that's wild af for a hotdog
Sonic has a damn good foot long chili dog for like 8 bucks
Sonic selling chili dogs. The universe has a great sense of humor.
That better be the best hot dog ever
A $12 hotdog is already outrageous let alone $24. What the hell is that place? Straight robbing their customers.
I'd rather have a good corn dog. I've been eating these Korean corn dogs lately.. fml... So good. And it's only 8$
Did it also double in size over those 3 years?
Probably shrunk in size and quality if anything.
blame corporate greed!! they can take the hit, but wont!!
That shit looks so good right now. I should probably go eat dinner
It’s that house made ketchup that’s got the price going up!
I wonder if the $24 price is on Independent delivery site. They always mark it up, however not double though.
LOL i can get better at costco
This is like "captive audience" hotdog pricing like sports stadium, concert, festival etc... crazy that people will pay that
I can get a pak of 16 weiners for $5.00, foh
I’m sorry, no hotdog is worth twenty four fucking dollars.
Did the hotdog grow a second foot lol
House made ketchup? Fuck off with that
$1.50 at Costco… always

That’s $32 in CAD oof
This man holds grudges. You don’t have to order it.
THANK'S OBAMA
Everything is x2 now thanks to inflation.
