Looks like a mouth crunching one of the “crumbs” from Long John Silver’s.  Ummm fried fish.

You can think of it as an artisanal, locally made danish with hand made pastry surrounding locally made jam and topped with home made icing.

The youths are soft. Back in my day, we drank colloidal silver, and we liked it!

LOL. And we know dogs, the more rot, the more they roll.

Irrelevant to the current discussion, I thought the pic was from Chicago (which we walked through the other day on our way back from lunch and bought a (delicious) $4 pop tart in for breakfast the next day) before I looked at the caption. I didn’t know Time Out Food Halls was a chain until then.

It was still overpriced and not impressive.

I mean, don’t eat there? I’m only half serious, but there are lots of restaurants at different price points depending on what kind of experience you are looking for. You can buy $5 cup cakes in every city in America now, or you can still buy a pack of 12 for about $3 at the local grocery store. Street festivals have…

Given the “nature” of the food shown in that still life and the time required for the level of artistry, I hope NO ONE ATE THAT FOOD.

There is a difference though.... simply walking into a bar doesn’t magically pay for the band... which is why you have a cover.

I don’t care about the hot dogs, I’m going to miss shaving years off of my life with a Chicken Bake: basically a massive hot pocket filled with chicken, bacon, cheese... and ranch dressing.

The $1.50 Costco Polish dog was a thing of beauty. The $1.50 Costco hot dog can can fuck right off.

They have those at Costco? Never mind, I’d have to buy at least a dozen of each.....

I’ll keep my $60 and make my own hot dogs.

I don’t have a problem with the fancy food hall as a concept; there are some that I really enjoy. I just think many of them are set up and organized in an extremely lazy fashion by operators who just want to cram as many booths and tables as humanly possible into their space. There’s no thought put into the diversity o…

My ex was a property appraiser and she would correct me when I called one of these developments that are like malls but they have apartments and all the store entrances are outside. Those are “lifestyle centers.”

So it’s the food court minus the mall?

I love food halls. They’re the only place where I get to combine my love of paying way too much for way too little food with my passion for sitting in cramped, noisy environments.

My friend and I were in Philly a couple weekends ago and were staying right by the Bourse:

So it’s the food court minus the mall?

Ok, I’m really going to need more on the correlation on bananas, gum and theft. Not necessarily doubting you, I just am dying to know the reasoning. Or is it just pure statistics at this point? I’m curious about the part behind the stats, really.
