I agree. Sounds more like a $100 meal if you ask me.

For comfort food? You dorks will argue over anything. Ain't no way what he order would cost near $50 12 months ago...

I can’t recall a time where lunch was $5 unless it was a special somewhere.

You gotta hit that sale paper baw.
It’s sad how some people that live in the south still can’t cook.

The History of every major Galactic Civilization tends to pass through three distinct and recognizable phases, those of Survival, Inquiry and Sophistication, otherwise known as the How, Why, and Where phases. For instance, the first phase is characterized by the question 'How can we eat?' the second by the question 'Why do we eat?' and the third by the question 'Where shall we have lunch?

what’s wrong with ordering water? Too many fat fricks ordering sodas and sweet teas out there.

There really is nothing wrong with it and it's much better for you, but man, it's just not as enjoyable as drinking something with some flavor to go with good food when going out to eat. But yes, too many people drink sodas all day everyday.

You must not have been to the grocery stores either cause it costs just as much to cook.

A grilled chicken breast sandwich at a couple of neighborhood eateries runs $11-12 bucks plus tax. My neighborhood grocery store whose prices are generally higher thatn the chain markets has 3.5 lbs of boneless skinless chicken breasts for $12 bucks, that’s a lot of sandwiches. You can probably home cook most items you would find in a restaurant for half what. the restaurant cost would be. If cook ing multiple meals in bulk, the cost goes down even more..

i’m being a smart arse towards GraviTiger who’s asked that very question 3 times in this thread as if inflation doesn’t exist. believe me, as someone with 2 kids and wife….i’m feeling it.

You're being dense on purpose. I've only posted it twice.

I know inflation exists. Without evidence, I don't think a meal for three at IHOP costs $60.
