New York City became the first US city to mandate proof of vaccination for dining inside restaurants. San Francisco soon followed, and so did a slew of lawsuits from restaurateurs who find the mandates unconstitutional. Meanwhile, Texas has banned such vaccine passports, along with its ban on mask mandates. If you require vaccination proof in your Texas restaurant, you could get your liquor license revoked.

The price of eating out jumped nearly 1% this June. That may not seem like much but it's the biggest jump since 1981, according to the US Department of Labor. Blame it on rising costs for ingredients, equipment, and staff. Restaurateurs have been forced to raise menu prices. But $800 for a tasting menu at Per Se or Masa? That price tag has made these two of the most expensive restaurants in the country.

The $28.6 billion Restaurant Revitalization Fund (RRF) promised a lifeline for struggling restaurants, especially those owned by women, military veterans, and economically disadvantaged business owners, who were given priority status for three weeks. By mid-June, however, the Small Business Administration (SBA) was forced to deny funding to nearly 3,000 previously approved priority applicants. Why? The SBA lost multiple lawsuits brought by restaurateurs who argued that the priority system was discriminatory. While Congress recently introduced legislation for a $60 billion replenishment of the RRF, that legislation remains to be approved. It's a dog eat dog world out there.
