We've got a long way to go. Hell, a Denny's French Toast Grand Slam with cheesy eggs (the standard unit of economic measure) near San Francisco costs up to 30% more than it does in Milwaukee.

The rent is too damn many Denny's French Toast Grand Slams with cheesy eggs!!

To be fair they probably get a good deal on their cheese in Milwaukee.

South San Fransico: $17.79+$2.99 upgrade for the cheesy eggs = $20.78

Milwaukee: $13.39+$1.29 upgrade for cheesy eggs = $14.68

It’s a 32% difference for the base, 41% with the upgrade.

Is the Milwaukee location also an Airport/Hotel location?

Fair enough though, I was looking at at different location but you are right. I stand corrected.
