I'd not patronize any US restaurant that doesn't know to use dollar
sign$... took me a few moments to figure those stand alone numbers
weren't how many servings... those numbers lacking ddollar signs tell
me from teh get-go that the joint is smarmy.
Restaurant meat loaf dinner should never be more than $8... Blue Plate
Special = Meat Loaf, Mashed w/Gravy, Buttered Veg in Season...
Bread/Butter. There's fancy schmancy meat loaf that may cost more
(terrines), but typical meat loaf should cost less than a mystery meat
burger... restaurant meat loaf is salvaged mystery meat (plate
scrapings) with lots of bread crumb filler.
Hmmm, their swordfish plate is a total rip off at thirty bucks...
fresh caught (never frozen) on Lung Guyland would cost half that.
