Local restaurant owners have been forced to increase their prices or make menu changes amid the rising costs of iceberg and romaine lettuce
The recent lettuce shortage that’s affecting cities nationwide is just the latest barrier that restaurant owners are attempting to overcome.
North 82 owner Mike Tsokas says cases of romaine lettuce have tripled in cost, and he doesn’t see it improving anytime soon. “I hate to do that, but there’s no other way out right now,” he says. “At this time, we have no other option but to pay a la carte. I feel bad for the customers, but what can you do about it?”
Over at The Soup Witch, co-owner and chef Mana Goodfellow says they’ve had to add spring mix green to their house salads, wraps, and sandwiches that would normally just have romaine in them.
