Eating when traveling

Y'all must be rich to be paying those kind of prices for food.

A steak house we eat at sometimes in Scottsdale has raised their prices to $40.00 a once for steaks, I am not paying those prices, plus the sides and drink lol a side of Mac and cheese cost $15.00 now

  Now you know why I chose a Mexican resteraunt yesterday Clifford, they got the best burgers by the way lol!

I am not eating there lol prices weren't bad a year ago  even the salad was included not now ,all the steakhouses in Scottsdale are into the Wagyu or Italian yuppie beef fad now. Paying someone 20 bucks a hour to bus tables is crazy that doesn't help with prices, There is just too much money in Scottsdale I never did like living there because of the HOA's.Fuel prices are always at least $.50 a gal more than Phoenix @ the same owner places,Scottsdale is a good place to make money on real-estate if you can keep up with taxes and put up with the BS,there is no land left in Scottsdale it has reached it's limit and vacant land selling for 20 + bucks a square ft is a little pricey to me

I like Olive garden here. Unlimited salad and after meal can get a takeout spaghetti and meat sauce for each guest for 6 bucks each. We always get one for each in party, even if they don't  want one. When we get home, put them in freezer. One portion will take care of both of us now, since we don't  eat as much. Great spaghetti, btw.

Cooking is above my pay grade, it makes it tough cooking food from all fresh ingredients Sonja eats, grilling I can do but steaming veggies doesn't work out I do slip some Bob Evans packaged food past her every now and then, next you have to clean the mess up. I am going to be honest about the cooking deal I don't know how Sonja kept the job for almost 50 years cooking is a lot of work, gone are my days of walking in and asking what we are having for dinner, you better hug that cook things can change

Heck, any of you Poor Downtrodden Bus owners get Central Texas way (78639)  , Wife and I will feed you for a day or two.  Even let you hook up to 50 amp electric juice..

I feel really bad that Clifford is whining about a 10 oz steak costing 400 bucks. I'm in line with Chessie at the garden. lol

[chessie4905]

Don't  worry Cliff. Cat food tins have peel off tops like beer cans. Lots of variety. Salmon, turkey, chicken, etc, there are even some tasty blends. A nice salad and you've got a nice meal. Remember to nuke the cat food for a tastier result.

"Eating when traveling" more specifically eating when driving, yes at the wheel reaching for the snack stash when driving solo. Within an armsreach - mixed nuts, granola bars, dried fruit, fresh fruit, jerky, and the list goes on. When traveling with my soul mate - anything in the fridge and pantry but prefer to stop and sit in the dining nook for a walk & relief (release)

I am not paying $40.00 a once for a steak or $25.00 for a baked potato, it is a good steak marinated in buttermilk and cooked at 1000 degrees for a couple of minutes. The last time I ate at the place they were $10.00 a ounce. It was my friend Bruce Halle (RIP) favorite place lol he always picked up the tab it was pocket change for him and a write off he owned Discount Tire. There is no steak worth $40.00 a ounce to me. I like Olive Garden too, but I don't care for Red Lobster from the same owners as Olive Garden

I am happy with my Goldfish crackers when driving

I liked Red Lobster years ago when seafood restaurants were rare here. Avoid anymore for several years. Only thing good is those Cheddar bay biscuits. Now Walmart sells them frozen in a bag. Have them, but haven't  tried yet. Last year they offered them in a dry mix, which you had to add the other ingredients. They turned out awful. Our local firehall used to have an oyster fry years ago. Ate them till stuffed with side of cocktail sauce. Not offered anymore, too expensive. 14 bucks per ticket. Most women there ate the ham and beans.lol 14 bucks for that.

What a waste to fry oysters ,split the shell and eat those suckers a local Mexican restaurant serves oysters on the 1/2 shell, they went from 50 cents ea up to 4 bucks now, so I only eat a couple now not a dozen any longer

[chessie4905]

Oyster stew, scaloped oysters, and fried oysters. No oysters on a half shell. I've tried them, but don't care for them.

I like the Rockefeller style oysters is that what you are calling scalloped oysters?. I miss that part about Texas we never had to buy oysters or shrimp you took your buddy and boat to the bays and load up on all the oysters you could eat in a few minutes. LOL it was a coin flip to see which one got in the cold water when you found a bed of oysters.Shrimp was easy you netted those then the work began removing the heads and the veins
