We did raise the minimum wage, at least some states did.
Out of curiosity, I found these two maps.
Big mac prices:
Min wage:
I don't care enough to plot a scatter graph of min wage vs big mac prices, but at a glance it seems to be loosely correlated at most.
You gave current big Mac prices yet wages from 2019. For example California now has $16 minimum wage and special $20 minimum wage for fast food workers.
My bad, I wasn't able to find a date on the inforgraphic for the bic macs. It's rather annoying to get up to date, well presented data like this.
