What? $15 for pancakes is a lot?
Strips like today's strip annoy me because my general reaction to them is "Duh." It's so common there's no point in complaining. And if this scenario surprises you at all, you're an idiot. Of course the prices at the hotel restaurant are going to be higher! Duh! There's a convenience factor and a quality factor. Restaurants in hotels are generally somewhat fancy. They're going to be expensive. This is why I only eat at them when I'm on a business trip and therefore not spending my own money. Even so, $2.99 seems fairly cheap for a breakfast special.
The moral of today's story? You're an idiot if you think you're getting a good deal eating in the hotel at which you're staying. If you want to eat cheaply, walk around the neighborhood a bit. But then, that would require actually seeing the town you're visiting. Heaven forbid.

$2.99 wasn't cheap for a breakfast special in 1967, when Scaduto last thought about it.
Besides, the TDIET crowd doesn't stay in hotels with restaurants. It's Confort Inns all the way.
Glad to have you back - I didn't read TDIET for 2 weeks w/o you!
The location of the idea person, New Orleans, makes me think it was sent in a bit differently than how it appeared.
"People come here for Mardi Gras, eat expensive food at their hotel, then complain about how expensive and fancy it was, how they wanted a real cajun meal, when they wouldn't even dream of stepping outside their hotel to find a good, inexpensive local restaurant."
Somehow I see that turning into the crap printed.
And it's nice to see New Orleans is back on its feet, its citizens ready to send in idea to TDIET.
Brownie did a heckuva job, he did.
Oh-h-h-h yeah.
