FINALLY figured out how to upload pictures from camera onto computer! Here is a picture of the ten dollar sandwich menu.
May all the rich people head to Colorado and support this dude’s business.

What, just “brisket”? “Chicken”? No goat cheese/portabella mushroom/arugula pesto?

Food is such a class issue and we never discuss it that way. What we eat is as much as an issue of likes and dislikes, as it is about what our wallets can afford. When we entered into our most recent depression, sales of spam immediately spiked; in fact grocery stores were having trouble keeping it on the shelves. This was not because people suddenly “rediscovered” it, but because it functions as a cheap form of meat to include in meals.
In the western world we have become accustomed to eating meat on a daily basis and therefore we do not see it as the luxury that it really is. In many poorer nations meat when consumed at all can be restricted to as little as once a month. It is my firm belief that though we are reluctant to discuss class, we must enter the debate if we are to have a true understanding of nutrition and what constitutes subsistence.

I think I’m more offended by $10 for a quart of beans/coleslaw. What the fuck goes in coleslaw (or beans for that matter) to make it worth $10?

you know, i did find it vastly amusing that not only are they charging this insane price but they only accept cash, LOL. i mean, bring your fam in, right? it’s a minimum $50 bill, but you have to pay in cash? plus, i think it’s really funny that at those prices they have horrible grammar (see “sandwicheS comeS with one side of beans”) AND don’t know that it’s “coleslaw”, NOT “COLD slaw” though i suppose that could be a regional difference, LOL.

$10?! Good lord.
July 11th, 2009 at 4:43 pm #
But they come with a side of BEEEEEEEANS! That makes it totally reasonable!!!
I’m assuming that a side of beans = a quart of beans.

Renee, I don’t know who the “we” is that is not discussing food and class and poverty and money, but the “we” I know, does, every day, as women of color, mamis of color, as vegans, as community members, as chicana/os, as working class barely making it, as I wish I still was able to get food stamps kinda way.
Aaminah-maybe it’s something else, some sort of slaw thats cold instead of warm?? and is the bbq sauce $8 a quart? must be some special sauce.
Emily-i’m pretty sure it’s a single. bfp-did you snap up any pics of the outside? (woah i’m nosey)

noemi, i dunno… because in both the north and the south, i’ve never ever heard of a warm slaw.
do they make it warm in tx? but like i said, i guess it could be a regional difference.
and yeah, thank you for that other response. the “we” i know, sometimes it seems like that’s an awful lot of what “we” talk about, out of pure necessity…

@noemi
funny that you mention food stamps. ive been having half-thoughts on food stamps. well, really (and i know this is a bit off topic) but how i sometimes feel resentful when college students can qualify for food stamps but i cant. and ok, im married. but why cant a new mommy and baby and papa who is working a basic job (day care) and we cant get food stamps or health insurance or a bunch of shit…but my friend who is a grad student can? or this other friend of mine who gets food stamps even though her family RICH. she is a trust fund kid. she is single, has no kids, no debt, barely any bills, lives off her trust fund and govt assistance…
i mean maybe if i could have gotten food stamps i could have had much more what i wanted to eat…
like when did food stamps start to feel like a privilege to me?
i know that they are not a privilege on most levels. and yet. i (the black girl) gets treated like she is some welfare queen/stealing money from hard working tax payers…but i never hear anyone talking about college kids on food stamps…and what that means…in terms of who gets supported in this society by this govt and who is expected to just fend on their own…i dont know…

@noemi the “we” means the larger conversation but good that you can take the time to make it all about you. Until everyone starts talking about food in a meaningful way the waste will continue. BTW you damn well knew what I meant in my initial post but glad I’m glad that you had fun with snark.

Hey, I’ve seen £15 sandwiches. That’s about $20, I think. No photos, though.
