Fifteen years ago today, $5.99 would have bought you a half-chicken dinner with half a rotisserie chicken, those amazing fresh-cut French fries, a roll, and don’t forget the signature chalet dipping sauce (which, of course, was good for the chicken, the fries and the roll.)
This deal was available at any of the four Buffalo-area Swiss Chalet locations.
The same meal today runs $13.49, according to the Swiss Chalet take-out website, and getting it involves crossing an international border. The Swiss Chalet location closest to Buffalo is on Lundy’s Lane in Niagara Falls, Ont.
Despite the 225 percent price increase and need for a passport, if you’re a true-blue Buffalonian, chances are, you’re thinking about it.
