Title: Appetizer Question Post by: dbacksfan 2.0 on May 15, 2014, 07:48:54 pm Just curious what you guys and girls would pay for an appetizer that is made from fresh local oyster, chopped and rolled up in panko with black and white pepper (little over an inch in diameter) lightly fried, served in a shell with cilantro and a mildly spicy fresh cocktail sauce? 6 per appetizer. New creation at my favorite pub here.

Title: Re: Appetizer Question Post by: dbacksfan 2.0 on May 15, 2014, 07:53:42 pm $8 to $10 I’m thinking. How close was that? That's higher than what they are thinking. They are thinking $7.50. Just looking for input, they are looking at the cost per oyster. 1 large oyster makes 6 servings. Have to say that with the spicy cocktail sauce, it goes well with something like Shock Top.

Ohhh....Shock Top. I have one left. Thanks, now I will have zero. Only InBev beverage I will buy (but buy at the liquor store since they started allowing Bud/InBev products above 3.2 there). But that appetizer looks good. I would have guessed right around where Conan was saying. Title: Re: Appetizer Question Post by: Red Arrow on May 15, 2014, 08:31:43 pm Ohhh....Shock Top.

But that's my personal taste. My standard answer to any appetizer question is Yes. Title: Re: Appetizer Question Post by: guido911 on May 15, 2014, 09:46:00 pm Compare with Bodeans menu...

Not that there is anything wrong with balls in your mouth.

Considering they are local, I could see how it could be $7.50, especially if they make it with the meat of one oyster. I’m good with anything that’s been rolled in panko and fried. Gas, isn’t rule of thumb in a restaurant three times the ingredient cost for setting your price point? Title: Re: Post by: Gaspar on May 16, 2014, 03:22:11 pm Keep in mind, he’s in Oregon.

Gas, isn’t rule of thumb in a restaurant three times the ingredient cost for setting your price point? That does sound about right at 3x cost for food. Yes there are local, usually they are farmed near Newport, and also they are fished/farmed in Charleston just south of Coos Bay. You can get oysters $40.00/bushel delivered. http://www.localoysters.com/ (http://www.localoysters.com/) Title: Re: Post by: Conan71 on May 16, 2014, 08:13:18 pm That does sound about right at 3x cost for food.

Title: Re: Appetizer Question Post by: dbacksfan 2.0 on May 18, 2014, 01:34:42 am So I talked with the owner of the pub today, and thanks to all for the advice on the 3x cost, they are going to do it as a off menu special the days that he runs the kitchen. It's one of the things that this place has going for it at lunch and dinner, is they allow the cooks, they have four, to do their own items. They are going to do it at $7.50 and if there is a change in the price of oysters adjust it slightly, but $7.50 seems to be the lowest price point. (It's actually cheaper than doing wings)
The woman working the kitchen today was working on a chili for Sunday, and gave me a test cup, and it was almost what I remember from Ike's Chili. I have to give the lady that owns the place credit, they just celebrated their 20 year anniversary in the same spot. http://www.kcby.com/news/local/Coney-turns-20-252068201.html (http://www.kcby.com/news/local/Coney-turns-20-252068201.html) |
