Hot bar at Breauxmart.


I’ve been going to Rouses in the Warehouse District for lunch a lot more lately. I don’t get much and since it goes by weight it is not bad at all.

The image you linked is questionable. Why would the McChicken be 4.99 but the Hot and Spicy McChicken is only 3.39?

Not a good comparison since you live 20 mins outside Napa California.

As stated in previous discussion I don’t eat fast food very often. My wife wanted Wendy’s the other day so we got some. Been long time. Two large baconator combis was 24 bucks. I was stunned.

Stopped at Popeyes and got a “large” side of mashed potatoes and gravy. Six something almost seven dollars. Enough for a meal and actually pretty good, but pricey.

Which Five Guys was this? I’m looking at the Brentwood menu right now. Smallest burger is $7.79. Small fries (530 calories) are 4.99. Regular drink 2.99. Now we’re at $15.77 pre-tax for somewhere in the neighborhood of 1300 calories. A 20% tax rate would still keep you under $19. Did your wife leave a $3 tip?
forgot she also got a bottled water so that was where the other $3 came from. Are y'all really picking apart buying a burger and fries for a small kid that cost $20 over $2-$3?

Still ridiculous

Here we go. I’m 62 and recall when my parents reluctantly stopped at a McDonald’s while on way home from seeing grandma in nursing home to get us one single burger per person and one order of fries led two people and no drinks (because they could bring them) and it was 19 cents per burger. And man those memories are like 14k gold. Like hearing my grandmas stories about when she was young and healthy. Glory days.

Dear god. That's ~1,400 calories each (if you got water). That's disgusting.

Eh, maybe she’s like me and can only eat half but her eyes are bigger than her stomach so she orders large and throws half of it out.

I did that last night when I should have just ordered the junior meal. Hunger misjudgment is a bitch.

True

This is the scenario when my wife and I go out:

Her: should we split?
Me: ugh. I’m hungry tonight.
Me later: we should have split
