for under $65. 150 people shouldn’t be more than $125, considering economies of scale. Also, eliminating the herring (except on special occasions) means that people eat more of the meal at home, which causes fewer sholom...

Pot, Loteria, or Banana Leaf. Tosca just got a rave review from a CH’er so I want to check that out, too. A little bit higher up on the economy scale are Cobras and Matadors as well as BLD on Beverly, though really at that...

costs for a large producer compared to a small farm—factoring in economies of scale, it does.

for rice and lentil, unless if I really wanted to challenge myself and stuff myself till i start getting some economies of scale. Guess it’s back to the Lasalle Vichy for me

Here’s a link to Smith & Wollensky’s menu. Their steaks are in the $50 range and their sides are $11 each (even for carrots). And they’re a chain, so they have economies of scale that Prime Grill can only...

I think you’re better off getting full bottles and a vacu-vin kit. You’ll end up benefiting from economies of scale (375s cost more per ounce), and small bottles have a greater negative environmental impact than...

I wouldn’t think so, no. I think it’s more a factor of economy of scale. I’ve generally found “ethnic” food items are a lot more expensive when purchased in non-ethnic markets. The same bag of panko...

It’s a premium specialty product and the first to go in a down economy. If it was selling well they’d keep it going, but they aren’t cut out for boutique products.

When I saw that the 8th St & University Pl. Starbuck’s had closed, it was such a revelation. Could the evil empire finally be scaling down? Was our economy finally taking this kind of effect even on the giant faceless...

). It’s a small farm so they have no economy of scale. I’m always surprised to see it here on Long Island (and also Ronnybrook which is made near there also), so for you to get it on the West Coast is sort of cool. I...

receiving. it’s much more efficient to buy a case of hellman’s mayo (or brand “x” if you’re really cheaping out) rather than having a prep guy make mayonaise every day. economies of scale matter. if a...

, all the “deep fried stuff” - and the price is $5.99 – good for those times when you want a little variety – not the best representation of Thai food (very poor in fact) but hey it’s 6 bucks........

surprised, the prices are really good, and the service, though slow, is adequate. The food is well worth the price, and some of it is indeed excellent. Please remember, economies of scale, you don’t get Dom Perignon for...

I’ve found that to be true on some items where they are much more expensive at my regular grocery store than at Whole Foods. I think economies of scale are at work here, as well. Whole Foods probably sells a lot more of a...

I agree. The amount of new burger places in San Diego is getting beyond ridiculous. It is kind of like during the "up economy" when every steak joint made a full scale invasion of san diego. There will probably be a fallout from all
