American living in the UK. Go back to visit family in Northern California ever year or two. On the way out (Heathrow) we can get a Pret or similar for more or less the same price as in central London, say £5-7 per person for a medium sized meal. And there are well over a dozen options of similar restaurants.

On the way back (SFO), it’s basically Burger King or one of the airport sandwich shops, and $20+ per person.

I don’t know the details of why it’s one way or the other, but clearly it doesn’t have to be like this!
