Those crab legs are around $40 a package...you used to spend $80 on burgers at a restaurant.
Please explain how pb & j ever ended up on a buffet table (with or without crusts). Especially a thanksgiving buffet. Who does that?? Chuck E Cheese?
pb&j is served at a glencoe country club. Oh wait - it’s served at Sunday buffet as part of the kids section. They made it for our child by request on thanksgiving. Membership has its privileges. Mind you we haven’t been there since 2019 due to pandemic (they’re closed in winter). Those days are over. Sad!
I’ve already mentioned how a barneys burger meal comes to $80 for a meal for 3 - on average $16/burger (or chicken breast), two different fries dishes, two $6-7 milkshakes, iced tea, 9% sf tax, 4% sf health, 20-30% tip... somehow it’s like $80. Or more. Those days are fully over.
saving money like that makes it easier to buy the red king crab legs, which we like more than Dungeness crab.

wow! Thank you. Sounds yummy.
I don’t know oyster liquor. I’ll google it.
