Trump tomato tariffs threaten free chips and salsa at restaurants
Original: Trump tomato tariffs could spell the end of free chips, salsa at restaurants
New tariffs on Mexican tomatoes under the Trump administration could push up costs for restaurants, and some owners warn the complimentary chips and salsa many diners expect may disappear. Mexico supplies most of the tomatoes used in US restaurants, so the import duties are expected to raise prices across the food service industry, with the beloved free starter the most visible casualty.
Why now: The newly imposed tomato tariffs are raising concerns about higher food costs and the loss of a cherished free restaurant tradition.
