Beef: It’s What’s Getting More Expensive

By Brian Rash
 
Sonny’s Bar-B-Q on Fourth Street has a storied history in Graham, and owner Shane Bivins willbe the first to say that since  reopening his restaurant for the second time this June, business hasn’t met his expectations. Now, thanks to another recent surge in beef prices, he said he remains uncertain about Sonny’s future. “In two weeks, the beef prices went up 50 cents,” Bivins said. “They went from $2.48 to $2.98 in two week’s time. Briskets were costing $30 a piece, and now they’re costing anywhere from $30 to $60, depending on how big they are.”
