You can expect to see more chicken entrees appearing in areas restaurants, if you haven't noticed it already.
"The national trends are pointing to more chicken on the menu for the fall, because it's cheaper than the beef," says Erica Papillion, with the Louisiana Restaurant Association.
"Commodity prices have been rising, especially in the beef market. So, chicken breasts remain an affordable option for restaurants to use whenever they're re-tooling their menus."
Beef prices, already at near-record highs, are expected to be driven up for the second year in a row this year because of a limited supply of cattle.
"And, of course, we had that terrible drought this past summer in the midwest with the corn, which is a feed for beef. So, the beef prices are starting to rise."
