Market price lobster is usually 25%+ more than crab in my experience, at least in Chicago. I always cry when I see 2lb whole lobster at places in the Northeast for like 19.99 when that shit would cost $80 in Chicago probably.

It all evens out though, because us lucky bastards here in the midwest have cheaper steak than the coasts. I love seafood, but I eat steak/beef a hell of a lot more often than I eat seafood(although maybe I wouldn't if I lived elsewhere, who knows)

Although the best deal I ever saw was when I went to visit some friends in Mobile Alabama about 10-15 years ago(this was pre-Katrina and pre-BP oil spill), For dinner one night we ran over to this boat dock area in a shady looking part of mobile, and this dude was selling fresh shrimp off his shrimpboat for like $3 a lb. We bought 20 lbs of shrimp and ate like kings. It was the best goddamned shrimp I've ever had, and it was about 1/5 the cost of buying shrimp here in the midwest. If I lived there I'd be eating that shit every damned day.

Lobster can't possibly be that expensive in Chicago. Even Alaskan King Crab legs would be cheaper than that.

$40/lb for lobster? Nobody would ever buy that shit.

in NH right now theyre i think 8.99/lb on sale at Market Basket. I guess that'd be as-of Saturday when I was there last.

Exactly how exaggerated is this? That can't be right.
Huge exaggeration. That shit is around 10 bucks a pound cost to stores and markets in Chicago and usually gets a nice mark up to around 20 bucks a pound max. Unless you shop at some faggot yuppy place that likes to pretend they have fresher lobsters then the rest of the stores that all get their shit from the same places.

I can believe the price in Chicago; the entire place makes no sense. There's nothing I like better than putting some ketchup on a good Chicago-style hotdog just to set them straight.

I doubt I've ever had a really good lobster but the ones I have had would have been nothing without coating them in butter, and what's not good slathered in butter? When I'm at a restaurant I can never convince myself that a giant bug would be better than a delicious steak that I can have for $5-10 less than the lobster.

The best lobster I have ever had was one I grilled myself. Every time I have gotten it in a restaurant it has been meh, but I have never been to one of these super fancy places.

Panera Bread went full retard and got rid of the BBQ Chopped Chicken Salad. Bullshit. Now they've got a laundry list of froofy salads filled with apples and faggoty berries and shit.

Man, say it ain't so, fuckin' froofy salads. I remember when wendy's had good salads, now its all froofy salads and fucking lemon ceasar dressing. Also pretty rustled chikfila doesn't offer ceasar dressing anymore.

Yeah chik-fil-a went full retard with their salads as well. I tend to get the nugget combo with a side salad now and italian dressing, that is good. But their menu salads are not great.

I have to say this.

If you're going to a fast food place and getting a salad you are indeed a faggot. Even more so if you get one with faggotty berries on it.

Whatever man, you don't know what you're talking about. The old Wendy's Taco Salad was a manly fucking meal, until they changed it and pussified it.
