Historic Atlanta restaurant forced to push 'nuclear button' on prices due to inflation: 'Math no longer works'

Manuel's Tavern owner Brian Maloof explained how inflation has forced him to raise prices across the menu for the first time in the restaurant's history.

"The price increase is so unusual for us. It's never happened in the history of the tavern to have an across-the-board increase. It became absolutely necessary because the math was no longer working. The math that had worked historically, forever was no longer working, and it was directly related to inflation and non-manager controllable cost," Maloof said on "Fox & Friends" Thursday.
