Inflation is calculated off of the cost of some particular basket of goods, and tends not to be even across those goods.

Yeah, if you eat a lot of corporate fast food, prices have skyrocketed recently. At a rate that far outpaces the local pizzeria and Chinese restaurant down the street, or the cost of chicken and eggs from the grocery store.

Why has one increase more than the other? Is there a specific driving force?

Cause McDonald's used to price a lot of things at a loss and it's not worth it anymore with other costs rising.
