In other words, Fountain Porter\u2019s iconic $6 burger is now $7, roughly the price of a fancy latte or a McDonald\u2019s Quarter Pounder with cheese after tax. <\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/corporate-movers-usa.com\/?p=1622\">Philadelphia Stadium plays its part as FIFA sets a new World Cup attendance record<\/a><\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>The East Passyunk neighborhood bar made the nearly 17% price increase official last Wednesday, said owner Evan Clancy, after months of watching the prices of ingredients creep up.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>Five days later, a post appeared in the popular r\/PhiladelphiaEats subreddit breaking the news like a bargain hunting, beer-loving version of Paul Revere. \u201cRecession indicator: Fountain Porter has officially raised the price of their burger,\u201d the post read. \u201cEnd of era.\u201d<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>Commenters were aghast. <\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>\u201cNoooooooo,\u201d bemoaned one Redditor. \u201cBring back boiled peanuts!\u201d shouted another.

Somewhere along the way \u2014 Clancy couldn\u2019t recall when \u2014 he raised the price to $6 in recognition of the labor his staff put in to running a pub that, in many ways, also doubles as a burger factory. <\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>Fountain Porter makes upwards of 800 burgers a week, Clancy said, with the three cooks alone dedicated just to grilling and flipping patties. It\u2019s also the platonic ideal of the sandwich, comprised of a modest beef patty with a salty char topped with American cheese, crisp lettuce, and a tomato slice on a Martin\u2019s potato bun with two pickle chips on the side. <\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>The burger and its price \u2014 along with the bar\u2019s deep beer list, dirty martini, and solid Guinness pour \u2014 has cemented Fountain Porter\u2019s status as a Philly icon, beloved equally by world class chefs and people who just really like eating and drinking. <\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/corporate-movers-usa.com\/?p=1620\">Flyers mock draft 4.0: How things are shaping up heading into tonight\u2019s first round<\/a><\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>\u201cTheir burger is the perfect size \u2014 not too small, not too big \u2014 and their lettuce is always cold and crispy,\u201d Rachel Lorn, the co-owner of acclaimed South Philly restaurants Mawn and Sao, previously told The Inquirer. <\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>The burger will remained unchanged despite the price increase, Clancy said. He also doesn\u2019t think it will harm the bar\u2019s reputation, and was shocked that people cared enough to post about it on social media. <\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>\u201cIf the burger is not good at $7, then it\u2019s really not that good at all. And that\u2019s not on me, that\u2019s on whoever is heaping the praise,\u201d said Clancy. \u201cIt\u2019s never been about a budget burger. It\u2019s about being fair and honest. That\u2019s what a burger is supposed to be.\u201d<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>The change was borne out of necessity, Clancy explained, driven by the across-the-board inflation that has plagued grocery store items for the past several months, with explanations ranging from climate change and supply chain bottlenecks to war. <\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>The price of the beef Fountain Porter uses in its burgers nearly doubled over the past two months, Clancy said, and he expects it to keep rising. The cost of tomatoes has also risen sharply and varies daily due to a mixture of tariffs and crop shortages, making it difficult for Clancy to budget. And, Clancy said, that despite Fountain Porter\u2019s high volume of burgers, \u201cwe\u2019re not making a lot of money off them.\u201d<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>Besides, Clancy wondered, why shouldn\u2019t his burger be allowed to get more expensive if everything else is?<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>\u201cI know it\u2019s a change, but we raised the price twice in 13 years, Clancy said. \u201dTell me something else that hasn\u2019t changed the price a lot in 13 years.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/corporate-movers-usa.com\/?p=1618\">N.J. hospitals could lose an estimated $3.6 billion from Medicaid changes over next eight years<\/a><\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The East Passyunk bar&#8217;s famous $6 burger is now $7.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1623,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[45,6],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1624","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-bars","category-food"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 -
