Also, higher labor prices, since labor is also a pretty big component of cost in the restaurant business.

That’s why SoCal has the highest land prices, but not the highest priced food at restaurants.

Wouldn't that also apply in places like NYC and LA? Where the enormous traffic volume offers lower marginal costs?
