Incredibly Expensive Takeout Food

[Dead2009]

What's the most expensive you've ever paid for fast food/takeout? I was with my best friend yesterday at an air show for fleet week (military thing) and she paid 16 dollars for a crab cake. 16 DOLLARS.

That crab better have walked in from the ocean.




As for the OP, I've spent over $24 for a large pizza with 3 toppings on it. The pizza was meh and I only did it the one time.
Also, food prices at sporting events are ridiculous.

It's funny thinking that's "expensive" when it's technically just menu price. But we've come to only accept buying pizzas at the discount price because a $25 pizza isn't worth it.

But there's always people who will pay so why change? One time a group of people were ordering pizza for all of us, I offered to help with the ordering, they said no, paid $100 for like 4 pizzas then complained about how much it cost and I'm like "you know you could get an XL with 4 toppings for $15 from this exact same place."

And someone ordered a specialty pizza, removed toppings, added on toppings, and it came out to over $20 for a small pizza. Had they even just built the pizza from scratch even without a discount it would've cost less than whatever they did.

The most expensive takeout to go order I get, $50 worth of Hooters hot wings on Saturdays or Sundays in the fall, for football day.

I'll pay $120-ish for 3 pizzas from my favorite deep dish place, but that's a once or twice a year thing. Definitely couldn't justify spending that much on pizza regularly.

I'd love some fresh Lou Malnati's. I've had the frozen ones and they're good but not nearly as good as in-restaurant.

Yep, I was talking about Lou's. It's always my recommendation for anyone visiting from out of town who wants deep dish. Other places pile on too much sauce or overload on cheese (probably just for the visual of the cheese stretching) but Lou's has a great balance of everything.
