I seriously want to know where these people live that it costs $27 for a kids meal. No doubt prices have skyrocketed and are out of control, but if you live somewhere that the prices are $53 for a mean your cost of living is insane and you aught best move.
It costs me ~$10-20 for an ADULT meal these days. I'm having a hard time believing some place like Dennys or Apple Bees or similar is charging $53 a plate. Maybe a steak or something like that at some of the higher end places, but that's also been the case at high end places. Some places like Chris Ruth's stake house you won't walk away for less than $100 two decades ago.
