capers, preserved lemon, potato, hard-boiled egg, onion, tomato, and spicy harissa sauce on a demi-baguette

I like everything on that list.  I probably would like the sauce.  I'll give it a whirl maybe someday, but it's pricey.

I have, no doubt, but it wasn't sandwiches.  The most expensive one I had, probably, had menus without prices on it for everyone except our friend (who is a really good friend).  He told me later it was over a thousand euros, for four.

When I was paying, just the two of us, we hit some in the hundreds range a few times.  They were memorable.

Heck, these days a BBQ lunch for two with tea or soft drinks can hit $80 pretty quick.

Fox Bros, would be maybe $50 if we had beer.  Now I'm hungry, though that cheesesteak is still present.

They get you on the combos. Start adding extra meats, sides, a little banana pudding and it hits you. 

Key is to split the big platters between 2 or 3. There’s the money. (Assuming they do platters and not just by the pound. Then they got all your money)

lunches have been expensive IMO for a while.

I skipped a lot of lunches back when I was hourly and working plenty of overtime
the past 20 years I many times had microwave popcorn and a coke in the breakroom for about a dollar

I've saved enough on lunches to be able to retire at 59 1/2

We don't go out too often, but when we do, it's generally for lunch at a place we can get to by boat.
Hurricane Ian cut the options in half, essentially.

We don't eat after 4PM anymore.

I try not to eat after 7pm, but it happens

I skip breakfast and lunch, eat one meal about 5:50-6:30pm

2 cups of coffee in the morning and then water until 5:30.

if I'm golfing I have a few beers and if I'm golfing late, it could be 8 or 9 before I eat.

I find we sleep better when we don't eat later.

I actually much prefer buying by the pound.  On the platter they might be providing more variety but they're invariably providing less food per $. That's an ages-old restaurant trick, we did the same thing at our restaurant 30 years ago.

The real problem is that brisket at a decent place is now $30-$34 per pound and one beef rib tips in at almost $40.

A heavy meal later is not usually a good idea.  Fairly often we have a nice lunch a bit late and then salad for dinner, maybe with some bread and soft cheese.

Jesus. I guess that's why it's smart to just do it at home lol...

Brisket taquitos on the menu tonight.
