Additional cost is probably true. But sometimes I get the feeling that these businesses think we Villagers have money and want to part with it. That is far from the truth. With more reasonable prices I think they would get more repeat business.

I decided to try Bob Evans the other day for breakfast. $7.59 for am omelet? Damn! But almost all of their egg platters were in the $7.xx range. Since I was there I tried it. I like the western omelet with the onions, peppers and ham cooked into the eggs. That is the way they do it. Most of the restaurants put the onions, peppers and ham in the middle. It was good but not $7.59 good. The grits were good but too big a bowl and the home fries were still on the al dente side - not cooked.

And to think I could have gone to Glenview for $5.99.

And another thing - at the prices they are charging - when I ask some one how was the food at (insert name) and the answer is good or okay instead of "great!! can't wait to go back" - I think there are better places to spend my eating allowance.
