Paid $18 for a bowl of French onion soup
It was good, but we're talking French onion soup

That's not much of a Rant, you need to work on that.


Actually, been there - done that & agree.

I know. There's no proof the onions were from France. I bet they weren't imported.

You're focusing on the soup. Focus, instead, on the experience! The ambiance!

There! Feel better now? 😉

Was the price a top-secret before you ordered it?

It’s called gouging.Checking prices on the plantation there is a captive audience here. We make our own and I doubt they use Gruyère cheese

Never trust the French.
We in the UK have had problems with them for centuries.
Mind you, they do a very good croissant!

The credit card surcharge is 3.75 percent. So, with tax, credit card fee, and tip, the soup was about $24.

According to their online menu, the soup is made with Gruyere cheese, and the listed price for a bowl is $15.
