It is on the menu at 8051 of the 12235 restaurants sampled, so it is not carried everywhere.
Each bar is the number of restaurants charging that price, and the gold bar holds the median. The last gathers everything at that price and above, so one distant outlier cannot flatten the rest.
Point at a bar, or tab to it, for the count and the share of restaurants at that price.
The cheapest Chicken McGriddles® in the sample is $1.49 in Salem, IL, and the most expensive is $7.23 in Los Angeles, CA. Both are single restaurants, which is why the headline above uses the middle 80% instead.
