Menu at Cowboys Stadium

[speedkilz88]

There all made of animal lips and ***es anyway. Cheap or not.

I think the Kosher ones aren't.

Paid about $12 tonight at Minute Maid for some peanuts and a beer.

you watch baseball? no knock on baseball, I love the game. I Just wouldn't have guessed you watched it.

The main difference between Kosher hotdogs and regular hotdogs is that they don't contain pork and the animals aren't stun before they are slaughtered. (Jewish stuff) All hotdogs claim to contain high quality meat. I guess lips and ***es are considered high quality meats.

This thread reminds me of my experience at the New Yankee stadium..My buddy purchased 2 orders of fries and 2 orders of chicken fingers, the total read on the register 2 orders of fries for nearly $28 bucks. My buddy tried to give the lady 3 $20s because he saw the chicken fingers were also 14bucks a pop, totaling something near 56bucks, but the lady returned 1 20 and gave him his change. I saw the whole transaction and haven't been able to figure out if the lady screwed up or not. I can't imagine an order of fries or chicken fingers are 14bucks a pop, are they?

A bit more than that. The animal is killed by hand by slitting the throat. The slaughterer is highly trained and there are various rituals around the sharpening of the knife. Kosher animals must also be free from disease. Many of the parts of the animal are not kosher -- generally much of the meat gets sold as non-kosher because of that. So the lips, etc. aren't in a kosher dog.

All this cuts against a factory farming approach which is why kosher meats end up more expensive -- but general way better quality. (Try an Empire Kosher Chicken if you doubt it)

No, I really don't like it either. Occasionally I get thrown some great seats for free, so it's fun to go hang out for a couple hours.

I live in NY, the only place more kosher is Israel. There is a kosher subway a block over from my work. I have this trader who ordered a sub from there with double meat and it cost him $21. I find it more of a racket than anything else.

The only thing Kosher we buy is salt. We prefer it to cook with. Not on the table though.

Anyone who can afford to go to that stadium, can afford to eat there.

If you cannot ..... then eat before or after.

I am glad the beer is expensive because the last thing I would want is a bunch of drunk dumb *** fans acting like philly losers.

Find me a "reasonably priced" vendor at any NFL, MLB, or NBA stadium outside of some promo night. I'll be here for a few years so you can be thorough.

I fail to see the responsiveness of your quote - I have disdain for captive pricing, and your response is to recommend a tour of venues with captive pricing?

Was this just a reflexive, knee-jerk response to defend the Cowboys menu? That captive pricing is okay because it's commonplace at arenas? Because pointing out to someone who doesn't like captive pricing places to go to see more captive pricing is like sending someone who doesn't like fish a list of fish recipes.

Thanks for telling me that sports arenas have confiscatory pricing, I hadn't factored that in to my original complaint... what an eye-opener!

 

[Venger]

It's hard to see on the pic, but there is actually some wording at the bottom that says financing is available.

I heartily approve of your humor and your avatar. Well played sir, on both accounts.

so your assumption is that anyone who drinks is a dumb *** drunk who can't otherwise have a good time without acting like a philly loser?

I think it is you who is the dumb***

Dude. This is a religious tradition. You just equated someone's tradition with being a racket. Think before you post crap like that.

But you are right that kosher salt is better.

While your post was directed toward captive pricing in general, it was in a thread that was directed at the Cowboys' pricing in particular. So the confusion, perhaps due to a lack of clarity in your post in regard to its general nature, is understandable.

Shrug, I'm not religious. I'm agnostic. Anyhow, I wasn't talking about kosher being an issue, I was talking about how they over charge for it. $20+ for a sub? I don't think so. It's amazing Jewish people even pay that much. Damn near everyone I know that is Jewish are extreme tight***es! :laugh2:

The pricing reflects the amount of work that goes into it -- you simply cannot follow the dietary laws and produce enough meat to make a low priced product. It probably takes about 10 times as much time and effort to slaughter and process a kosher animal. Simple economics.

 

[L-O-Jete]

It's mostly going to be corporate and expense accounts, so who gives a crap about the prices...

Wow, we agree on two things today!

Between the price of tickets and the price of food/beverages, and the high-class look of the new Jerry Dome, it sure seems to aim at a certain clientele.

I disagree. I've seen the procedures and the price doesn't match whats put into it. To me, it's just like the price of flowers on Valentine's day. There is more demand, so price does go up, but the price baloons out of control. If you just head to a grocery store that sells flowers, you will see just out bad the florist are screwing you.

but, I digress. This isn't football and has no point being discussed here.

Are you intentionally missing the lower supply aspect of this?
