Haven't been to Zingerman's Roadhouse myself, but another stagehand reported
some serious sticker shock. "$20 for a chicken dinner!"

A workmate went, said that there was an hour and a half wait for a table, and
that it was $17.50 for gravy and biscuits and $11.50 for mac and cheese. I
think I'd definitely never eat there.

I'd expect the wait times to drop as they get fully staffed, but I can't
imagine the prices going down.

Places usually have long wait times when they first open, due to
staffing issues and higher traffic. Sounds way too rich for my blood,
though.

We had a team lunch there today, it was pricey, the service was pretty good
considering it's the first week, but my food was disapointing. I (in
hindsight foolishly) paid $11.50 for the mac and cheese. My other team
members liked their food, but we all commented that the prices were too steep.
Maybe it's because it had the ghost of Bill Knapp....;-)

Sorry I missed everyone at Roadrunner Diner today. Either I was
too late or too early; I was there from 12:40 to 1:10.

I think Zingermans is just to full of themselves.

kaplan, ross, mutsie, barney, aruba, and Carol walked today. We started
pretty late and finished later, and apparently missed Ken at the Road
Runner. (We got there about 1:15.) It was a beautiful day for a walk.

Zingerman's has generally found that customers will line up outside
their door & down the street no matter how high their prices are.
They've reacted to this like rational business people, and are very
generous with local charity.

Hey, lining up for food is part of the Deli Experience. People have
come to expect it. :)

Sorry about that, Ken. Not only did I arrive late, but I was unable to
park the car right away because a tow truck was blocking the driveway as
it was working to get a car out of a parking space.
With Ross in the backpack and Mark and Carol helping with the dog
leashes, much of the walk proceeded at a normal pace. But I turned Ross
lose a copule of times and he had a lot of exploring to do! ;-)

I've been to Zingerman's Roadhouse too. The crab cakes were great, their
bread is as good as you expect, and while $11 for a burger is insane, $22 for
a big sirloin steak doesn't seem quite as wacky. Neither did $17 for their
smoked beef brisket, which rules.
