I’ll say this....if you are a cocktail person, you are probably worse off than the beer guy....so far on inflation.
Proving David Brooks IS one of the bad guys . . . right David?
Just like you wrote yourself
cheeseburger, fries for $12 doesn’t seem all that unreasonable these days
Brooks. Gets. Owned.
A$$hole elitist. If a cheeseburger and fries were $78 they’d be out of business. Simple math says he had a minimum of 6 beers. Big ones
Drunk, stupid and leftist is no way to go through life, Brooks.
Hey limousine socialist media, you voted for it!
Funny how shortly after he wrote that book, somebody outed him as a homosexual, and he's been a committed Lefty ever since.
I guess he thought everything should be free (including drinks) in the socialist paradise. Especially for someone as important as a journalist.
I’m wondering if Mr. Brooks has an expense account, and if so, did he use it to pay for lunch. His boss might not like that 80% of the bill was alcohol.
Maybe that’s why he wrote about the bill publicly, not expecting the restaurant to defend itself.
More dishonest journalism, regardless.
Thanks for fighting back, Airport Restaurant.
On the other hand, a Newark restaurant probably thinks D. Brooks really is a Conservative, so their motive might have been politically evil.
Entitlement mentality is infesting and infecting our nation far too much.
What this country needs is a time of serious, real life hardship to get people focused back on what is really important, sad to say. The soft, pampered life only leads to whiny crybabies who think everyone owes them everything they want.
I think we all can pretty much assume he did NOT vote for Trump. Everything was much more reasonable under PDJT. And he has the nerve to whine about prices under Bidenomics.
No tip. Typical liberal/elitist.
I had an awesome steak at Capital Grill the other day. With iced tea.
My total was probably not much more than $78
He’s not wrong, though.
The price of eating out has gone absolutely goofy.
The “99-cent menu” at McDonald’s is now called the “$1-$2-$3” menu, but most of the items on it are more than $3. Whoppers at Burger King cost what sit-down restaurants charged before coronavirus. $8 sit-down meals now cost $20.
Nice to see a leftist who probably voted for Cho Bi-Dung getting hammered by BiDungNomics. Enjoy the suck on your wallet, a$$whole.
Unfortunately we are all hearing that sucking noise from our wallet. I usually get a What-A-Burger about once a week and have noticed that the price for my typical order has literally doubled in the last 2 years.
The $66 is probably for 3 double cocktails. A double is usually about $20.
“at Newark Airport”
lol - you’ll pay $12 for a ham sandwich at an airport. Good luck getting a descent burger, fries, and a beer for under $25. Add a few more $12 drinks, plus tax...sure $70+.
Moral of the story, try not to buy food & drinks at the airport. If you must, by a sandwich and stay away from alcohol.
