Frontera May Be Expensive As Hell Now

Looks like chef and restauranteur Rick Bayless is at it again. Last year he stole our hearts and our Penn Cash with his zesty guacamole and those cute little buzzers, and word has it that the crafty chef may have raised prices even more.

According to the menu posted on his website, guac and chips are now $6.25, and many of the sandwiches have gone from a steep but worth it $9 to a soul-crushing $12. Double digits. They might as well dump spicy habanero salsa all over our hearts.

Guess this is what happens when you have a total monopoly over the on-campus locally-sourced Mexican-inspired sandwich market. We'd boycott, but those pickled red onions are just so damn tasty. Don't think we'll take this sitting down, chef and restauranteur Rick Bayless. Those "molletes" are really just toast with cheese on top, and we weren't gonna say anything, but you left us with no choice.
