I'm fighting off some sniffles so I thought chicken soup was a good idea. Here we have a 12 oz or so bowl of soup. A piece of homemade bread. A pad of butter. A cookie. I was legit shook that this was $8.50. This isn't NYC, BTW; it's a small town in Vermont....

P.S. the soup wasn't very good, even. :-/

the cap of the soup?

HUELEN10 · Oct 20, 2014

Did this place used to make Italian dinners?

PlayALLtheGames · Oct 20, 2014

How does a place like that remain in business? Food looks shit and is obviously overpriced. Glad I don't live in a small town.

stn · Oct 20, 2014

I have a feeling someone is going to post that pic of the $30 Italian meal. Anyway, yeah, that's a lot for soup and bread. Sheesh.

the cup for the soup. I thought it was the pad of butter for a second lol

TheJollyCorner · Oct 20, 2014

cookies, bread, soup, and black-pepper gravy?

edit: ahhh... it's the lid.

studyguy · Oct 20, 2014

I had a friend who used to eat the entire little stick of butter.
Like just straight up the stick alone, no bread.

No, that's just the lid. I'm wondering if they're charging $1.50 for that pad of Cabot butter.

Alienous · Oct 20, 2014

I would refuse to pay for that.

Chicken broth...the start of a penicellin

jono51 · Oct 20, 2014

I guess that's the starter that goes with the $30 Italian meal.

DMczaf · Oct 20, 2014

This is what $4 gets me at midnight during Downtown Vegas derping

Grizzo · Oct 20, 2014

Well even if the piece of bread doesn't look tasty, at least it's homemade!

Rich! · Oct 20, 2014

I just went to my local pub with my daughter and a friend and we got this:

- Chicken Burger (proper grilled chicken breast with bacon, tomato, onion) with 6 beer battered fried onion rings, chips, side salad

- Beef burger (two patties and bacon with cheese) onion rings, chips, side salad

- one kids meal, jacket potato with baked beans and cheese

- two large cokes, one orange juice

it cost £15.

Boney · Oct 20, 2014

At least it wasn't $30

Alienous · Oct 20, 2014

I legit thought the cookie was a potato.

wow- did you combine the cookie and bread to make a sandwich for the pad of butter

I would

I am about to go get a gobbler bowl from WaWa and a carbonated beverage for like 7 bucks

The bread was the best part. It wasn't incredible or anything (you can see it's no baguette or something) but it was pretty tasty. Soup was alright. Cookie was not that chocolatey, kind of nice and chewy in the middle but a little too chewy on the edges.

triplestation · Oct 20, 2014

That looks like a quick fix you'd make at home

Wait where do you pay 8.50 for that?

A small local restaurant in VT.

That taco looks so good where as a can of progresso poured into a cup with leftover Mrs. Fields' would look less bland than the food in the op.

yeah-

sliced turkey, gravy and cranberry sauce over mashed potatoes and stuffing

I get one a week and can never finish it because its so filling- it being the coldest day of the year for Jersey (so far) I figured I would treat myself

Rice is like bread, you can add it to anything

joelseph · Oct 20, 2014

It's out of control. Jersey Mike's sub w/ chips and a drink is 11 fucking dollars after tax in Chicago. 11 dollars for a medium sized sub and a pathetic bag of chips and soda.

Northeastmonk · Oct 20, 2014

That is not worth $8.

I order Jimmy Johns once in a while and with delivery it's around roughly $10. It would probably be much less if I just left and went inside, but still.

I get a large sub (#4 Turkey Tom), chips, and a large drink.

I don't eat at Panera or Starbucks because their food seems a tad expensive.

UrokeJoe · Oct 20, 2014

Slayven · Oct 20, 2014

Unless that soup is in a 24 ounce cup, you got ripped off.

Cuphead · Oct 20, 2014

For 8.50 I get a beautiful Cuban sandwich, a cup of soup, and some tasty red rice with beans.

Jimmy Lunch?
Jimmy Chips?
Jimmy Pickles?
What?

BobTheFork · Oct 20, 2014

It depends around here (Denver). There are some places where that picture would cost $8 but that's deep downtown where you don't have lots of time to try and eat and they know people on lunch will pay for it. What I like is that most grocery stores here have expanded deli sections where you can get something hot or cold that ws made that day for a good price. Near my house I can get a really tasty foot long roastbeef sandwich, drink and chips for ~8$. It's not subway either, it's a decent deli sandwich with provolone, sundried tomatoes and pesto (which is much better than I thought it would be)

Zoon · Oct 20, 2014

Going to order something to eat soon.Will post pics and price.
