Celebrity chef Wolfgang Puck said on CNBC's Power Lunch program that Americans continue to purchase steaks and burgers despite record beef prices. He added that steakhouses rarely close because red meat remains popular among diners. Puck stated that demand for steaks has stayed strong across the country. He said some supermarket beef prices remain elevated ahead of the Memorial Day holiday.
Puck said certain premium cuts used in upscale restaurants have eased in price due to increased imports from Argentina and Brazil. He reported that tenderloin prices dropped roughly 25 percent from a year ago while rib cuts also declined modestly. The comments come as global food prices have risen for three straight months, with meat and vegetable oils reaching new highs according to separate reporting cited by Benzinga.
