re: So sick of the price of everything right now.

$100 filets, $75 dollar chicken entrees, $25 dollar shrimp cocktails, etc is fricking insane.

At this rate we may eventually find out just how many eating joints are actually needed in a given part of town. Talk about an overly saturated market. But hey, they're all packed when I drive by, so we're still good right now I guess.

A while back I stood in the parking lot of a restaurant on a stretch of road that ten to twelve years ago was cotton fields. I didn't move from the spot I was standing, just turned 360°, and counted 14 restaurants within sight. If I had climbed to the top of one of them I could have probably counted a dozen more. I don't see how they're all staying in business. I'd bet good money that ten years down the line, if I'm still kicking, I can return to that spot and count empty buildings. Or, maybe then I will be counting mattress stores and pay day loan joints.

Certainly consistent with date night prices in Houston
