“Food has gone up at levels that nobody’s ever seen before,” he declared, following up his claim with some unsupported numbers. “We’ve never seen anything like it – 50, 60, 70 percent.”

    Will buffalo wings be next?

    First they came for the bacon

    And I did not speak out

    Because I was not eating bacon at the time

    Then they came for the buffalo wings

    And I did not speak out

    Because I can take them or leave them

    Then they came for the cheesesteak

    And there was no one left

    To speak out for the cheesesteak
