Inflation has taken a bite out of our wallets when it comes to the prices of a cheeseburger.
Long gone are the days when a burger cost less than $10.
The Mighty Colorado Burger, which operates out of an Airstream trailer inside the brewery, isn’t the only restaurant charging double-digit sums for a burger. The Cherry Cricket, a local institution, charges $11.50 for its classic cheeseburger, while a cheeseburger at Park Burger is $10. At Aurora’s Carm & Gia Metropolitan, its standard extra cheesy burger is $15. And Split Lip, a trendy spot in the River North Art District, charges $14.50.
“They’re genuinely curious, and the pandemic has made it easier to have those conversations,” Samara said. “If they’re not understanding, they don’t freak out on the cooks or staff, I think they just stop coming.” To understand why you’re paying $12 for a burger and fries, we’ve broken down a list of the ingredients for a Mighty Burger, their increase in cost over the past three years and what Samara and McManus are paying now.
Wholesale 90 percent ground beef, which restaurants like The Mighty Colorado Burger use, is $3.30 per pound, according to the Cattlemen’s Beef Board and the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association, which aggregates data from the USDA.

Tennessee becomes new front in battle for American democracyTennessee has become a new front in the battle for the future of American democracy after Republicans expelled two Black lawmakers from the state Legislature for their part in a protest urging passage of gun-control measures. In separate votes on Thursday, the GOP supermajority expelled Justin Jones and Justin Pearson, a move leaving about 140,000 voters in primarily Black districts in Nashville and Memphis with no representation in the Tennessee House. Kevin Webb is a 53-year-old teacher from Pearson’s district in south Memphis who says removing Pearson “for such a small infraction” is “classic America.”
