Overpriced half pound places kill my wallet. I am definitely in the 1 to 1 1/2 pound range when i get lunch at Dishes. I try to kid myself and limit it to one pound (never bone in meat, salads or rice or potatoes) but its HARD. And i eat it all because i feel guilty throwing away food that expensive.

I’m confused. What is the point of a “no pumpkin” pumpkin pie? Last time I checked pumpkin was both vegetarian and vegan friendly. Are pumpkin allergies on the rise?

Free Foods is good–and the people who work there are very nice, but SO FREAKIN EXPENSIVE! I have to eat a bowl of cereal to complete my lunch–not sure how the value equation works out then.

I still smell an orgy of shill.

It sounds crazy, but I can vouch that I’m a jaded midtown eater and I love Freefoods. I don’t think this is a shill! I guiltily sneak to Freefoods and buy highly-priced sandwiches, filet mignon and soups. The food IS fantastic. Fantastic at a high price, but I keep going back. Plus they give away freebies all the time. I tasted a brownie sample the other day for free and now I feel the urge to buy them.

Holy shit, people.

I just went down there, to sample this “Best Pumpkin Pie EVAR!” You know, to confirm or deny the orgasmic pie-rumors.

The thing is SEVEN FUCKING DOLLARS. For ONE (1) PIECE OF PIE! Not a whole pie. A single piece. It’s not even a substantial piece, either. More a “oh, just give me a sliver I’m watching my waistline” piece.

Needless to say, I did not indulge.

God, I had such high hopes for that space after Crapfudt folded. Now I’m going to wait for this place to collapse under the weight of its own overpriced garbage to get another decent lunch option on the Eastern Frontier.
