Wine by the glass

Ok - I'm going to play devils advocate here.

Hotwine wrote "That, after paying 3X average local retail price for the privilege of being served in a restaurant."

Innkeeper wrote "$15 dish (four meddalions of fillet cooked perfecty interspaced with mushrooms stuffed with Gorgonzola, with a bed of spinach in the middle with a parsley topped tomato on top."

Where do you think they made their money? Filet? Expensive. Gorgonzola? Expensive.

Would Innkeeper had ordered the same meal if it was $25.00? Probably not, and if so, he wouldn't have been as happy.

Restaurants do make as much money on food as you would think. We have a restaurant here in Chicago that only uses a 2x markup on wine. You will, however, order a $35.00 steak.
