Saw this on Facebook today and remembered this post—the cost for Macallan and "neat"/no ice charge (edited to add that the Macallan cost was on the Woodshed menu prices thread, not this one).

Also, went to The Smokehouse in Chelmsford the other day—there are locations in Woburn, Somerville, etc.—and there was a "voluntary" 3% "kitchen charge" to "support the hard-working kitchen staff members." Isn't that what, like, pay should do?!

No 8.5% NH tax, no 15% server tip, and no 3% kitchen charge .... www.shopmarketbasket.com/weekly-flyer ...... this week thru Sunday, Sept 7, porterhouse or t-bone steaks at 7.99/lb, save $5/lb from regular price.

Sometimes at Market Basket the shopping cart in front of me at the check-out cashier will be totally loaded with high quality, high price items that total out at $375 or something and I always ask if they are buying for some local restaurant somewhere but they always refuse to answer me. ......

Like, hey there, where's all this food going, r u buying for a restaurant!

Default Too expensive up here

We rarely dine out anymore. Since May 1 we were out twice for dinner and both times we split the meal. If we go out again it will be breakfast or lunch.

Too bad they’re aren’t happy hours here. Myrtle Beach has hundreds of them and you can get a few meals and a few drinks for cheap…drinks $4, certain food items for half price but still full size. One place we frequent has early bird prime rib with mashed and veg of day for under $20.

My wife and I go out to eat frequently, on average twice a week, but we typically frequent restaurants that cook foods that we rarely eat at home, e.g. Chinese food and Mexican food.

The idea of eating meat loaf or steak at a restaurant isn't as attractive because those foods can easily be prepared at home.
