I love to figure these things out....ok,let's see...Jetskier wants "larger portions and bigger pieces" for $9.75.....wholesale lobster meat,at this moment is $19.75 for the claw and knuckle mix that is usually used in lobster rolls.That's almost $5 for a quarter lb.Now add .20 for the roll,another .35 for the mayo,napkin,holder and fork and you have a whopping 55% food cost(the national average is around 32% for restaurants of that type.Now add payroll,mortgage,huge utilities,taxes and other overhead.
As near as I can figure,that greedy Pepper is milking you out of 10 or 15 cents every time you buy one.
Looks to me like that is a HUGE bargain.....
