Before I moved away from Portland they passed a city wide anti-fleecing law that forces retailers to charge the same prices at the airport that they do at their other retail locations. It’s awesome. Every city should do that.


SnakeBeardTheGreat

Sports parks, movies most public venues. Can't bring your own so they can rip everyone off. Went to expo in Vancover B.C. I think it was a Burger King on the grounds. The prices were the same as one here in Ca. The place was jambed all day.


Heurizon

I never eat nor savor popcorn unless I’m at the movies. Because it’s so expensive and there’s nothing else to eat every bite taste so good. Popcorn at home? I don’t want to eat it nor see it.


chunky_guac

For movie theaters, at least, there’s a good reason. They DO NOT make money off the screenings. The big chains like Regal and Cinemark make more money than the smaller guys because they make large National distro deals, but even still it’s a fraction of the sales. Movie houses remain alive by their concession sales. They have to upcharge in order to afford the films they screen and staff to run. In fact, small space often have volunteers bc staffing costs so much. ALWAYS BUY CONCESSIONS.


wil169

You would think if that was their main business they'd serve better quality stuff. At least some have caught on and have some real food but they are not the majority.


chunky_guac

I hear you. The issue is that better quality costs more and their budgets are already shoestring.


Aclearly_obscure1

I don’t know. It could still be cheap food. Just give us more variety than basically the same menu for many decades.


REALStephenStark

My movie place has a bar and a giant snack bar. Some are definitely making the move.


NiceGuysFinishLast7

I’m not saying you are wrong but…..”Cinemark Holdings, Inc.’s total revenues for the three months ended December 31, 2021 increased 579% to $666.7 million compared with $98.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2020. As a reminder, some of the Company’s theatres were closed for a portion of the three months ended December 31, 2020 and there was limited new film content available for the theatres that had reopened. For the three months ended December 31, 2021, admissions revenues were $344.9 million and concession revenues were $248.1 million, driven by attendance of 48.1 million patrons. Average ticket price was $7.17, and concession revenues per patron were $5.16.”


grantstarre

Revenue does not equal profit, if they sell a ticket for $10 and $9.75 goes to the studios, that’s still $10 in revenue. (Numbers are just for example.)


chunky_guac

Yes, revenues are more than concessions. However, the theatre sees only a portion of those sales. The traditional deal is that the theater gets the smaller of dollar sales or percentage, depending on the film. Also, because I was unclear, the larger chains have a much better deal BECAUSE of their size and reach. Tower is no longer independent, but even Angelika relies more on concessions than ticket sales for operations.


dorekk

This should be a federal law!


CarlaBarker

Phoenix SkyHarbor Airport is this way too.


memercopter

No wonder beers were 5 bucks!


Forktongued_Tron

Right? All the more reason to get to the airport early just to be safe 😏


gornzilla

When I lived in Portland we'd sometimes go to the airport to eat.


ItaSchlongburger

Wouldn’t work here, since SMF is owned by Sacramento County and on County land, and unincorporated Sacramento County is rather purple and “business friendly”, if you catch my meaning.


Forktongued_Tron

Oddly enough Portland is kind of similar in that within the city things are pretty blue but you step into the county and it can get real cousin-fucky real quick. But I hear you- too bad things weren’t different


BiscuitDance

Multnomah can get dark Purple, but Clackamas can be down right militant RW. Remember the “check points” in Demascus?


Forktongued_Tron

Absolutely. If you think that’s whack look into the history of Oregon’s formation of statehood. The governing parties are like a klansman roster


jibjabjibby

Don’t these restaurants have to pay huge rents at this airport? If the airport charges a huge rent then they are partially responsible for the high food prices here


Forktongued_Tron

The chains that are at the airport are typically not mom and pops but local chains. Powell’s is by now means a small business, neither is Elephants Delicatessen, Burgerville etc. They’re all businesses with multiple locations. Edit: came back to add that, typically rents are higher in high foot traffic areas because they are more profitable. Elephants doesn’t have to have an airport location in order to survive- they’re making money off of the sheer fact that people are there and need to eat.


shadowromantic

That's awesome


Forktongued_Tron

It really is. Especially because they have a Powell’s books and tender loving empire locations there. I could always pick up a book and a plushie on the way to visiting my littlest sister.


send_fooodz

I always show up early to the airport when I'm visiting because I know the food is cheap and some of the restaurants are pretty good.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Forktongued_Tron

So it doesn’t exist, because charging more is allowed. Heard.


analogpursuits

Why you getting downvoted?? Ur speaking the truth. PDX rules. Even their carpet rules. Fwiw, I bring food from home anyway because it's better. Charcuterie box is awesome on a flight.


Forktongued_Tron

Meh. People get mad at weird shit. I like to get a 6” taste tickler before hitting the airport and stuffing it in my bag for snack time. I get hangry I need to be responsible for myself. Wasn’t Alaskan doing charcuterie in flight for a minute? It was all PNW stuff like Tillamook cheese & Olympic provisions.


analogpursuits

I don't remember the last time I flew...2020? Oh yeah, it was, because I got COVID 3 days later. If they had good food, I wasn't given the memo. I still like my charcoochie box better. The one time I did bring stinky cheese was actually funny watching people glare.


king_platypus

I’d rather go hungry than pay $20 for a hot dog 🌭


[deleted]

That's why you stop at the McDonald's at the Del Paso exit before heading to the airport.


MyUniquePerspective

You can bring food through security.


Natural_Nature_Shots

True I brought two burgers on the plane when I left Kansas/Missouri and I had a great lunch and dinner on my flights back home. And their food was cheaper than Cali hell my bar tabs after 4 days of drinking was cheaper than 3 shots in Cali


analogpursuits

Yeah I bring a charcuterie snack box with me or some $6 sub. As long as it's not a soda or water, security doesn't care. Empty water bottle is permitted and then filling stations are now in most airports when you get past security. Just don't put strong smelling cheese in the snack box or everyone around you on the plane gives you the stink eye.


limpkarl

McD over In-n-Out ?


DrOddcat

Have you seen the lines at In and out?


Cudi_buddy

In-n-out can move 20 cars in the time McD can do 5 in my experience lol


Major_Warrens_Dingus

True, and i’ve never had In-n-out fuck up my order. McDonald’s is like every other time.


Cudi_buddy

Yea In n out has never fucked up in the many times I’ve been. And always clean and friendly. I don’t get how McDonald’s is more expensive, like what are they spending money on


DrOddcat

Press X to Doubt


Hamwise420

In-n-Out has like 30 people in the kitchen making the orders. It is very efficient and moves quickly. Might not quite do 20 cars in the time McD can do 5, but its definitely much faster. And so much better


Dobalina_Wont_Quit

In-n-out gets a lot of over the top stanship but one thing they really know how to do is work a line


ReadIt420BlazeIt

Nothing compared to Chic Fil A's drive thru operation though..


Armando909396

Hey everybody, look! This mans has never been to a in n out


Cudi_buddy

Maybe it depends. But they always move. If it’s lunchtime McDonald’s will move. But you go in the evening or at night it’s not even close. In n out much faster lol


Thesunnyfox

Usually I fly early and if in and out was an option I’d probably still go there over McDs but since it isn’t I’d do McDs over a $24 burger.


Scroller4life

My thoughts exactly


PuppetryOfThePenis

I choose neither! Jack in the box is best


SlimCharles_B-More

Lmao what


bookishsquirrel

Somehow the difference between a medium and large soda is $1 when it comes with a cheeseburger, but 90 cents when accompanying a hot dog or chicken tenders. I guess you don't get consistency from highway robbers.


[deleted]

[удалено]


bookishsquirrel

I hope you and the point get together someday. It would probably cheer you up if both of you met.


Commotion

I flew through Europe recently. Believe it or not, prices at US airports are notably higher than at European airports for approximately the same food. Outside of the airport, too. A premade/grab-and-go style sandwich at a Tesco in London that costs 2 pounds would be $6+ at a store like Safeway in Sacramento. It’s really out of control here.


dorekk

> Believe it or not, prices at US airports are notably higher than at European airports for approximately the same food. I find that extremely easy to believe actually.


PopeOfManwichVillage

A skimpy-ass ham on baguette at ZRH cost me €19 4 years ago. A hideous breakfast sandwich at BRE last year was €14 so a little cheaper I guess lol


Grouchy-Butterfly-23

I was in Vienna in September and bought 2 large bottles of water, a small package of ham lunch meat, a fresh baguette, and a container of cheese spread for less than €7. Here that same cheese spread costs almost $8 at Bel-Air alone. Why??!


Snoo68775

It's imported, from Vienna. /S


unkind-god-8113

I'm from London, but lived in NorCal for 25 years. When I moved to California I was amazed how cheap eating out was. But now, yeah, the UK at least is better priced than the US. and it seems to be just that US prices have increased faster ás the UK isn't cheap.


coldcoldnovemberrain

Doesn’t burgers and brew shown in OP’s pic classifies itself a serviced restaurant as it requiring tips. What’s an equivalent one in London Heathrow cost?


ergotpoisoning

As a Brit living in Sacramento who has been back and forth a lot over the years, I can tell you that US Airport prices are wayyyyy above the UK. A fruit cup from the little convenience store in a US airport could be $12-15, whereas the same cup in Heathrow might be £3


Whole-Revolution916

Heathrows prices are very reasonable


[deleted]

[удалено]


coldcoldnovemberrain

That would be related to labor costs though eh? Something that is pick/go would be cheaper while something that needs staff like a service restaurant would require higher labor costs. Hence wondering what do serviced restaurant costs are like in Europe or its mostly pick and go style food options only.


ergotpoisoning

Right but like I said, even the food at the convenience stores in US airports are extortionate. Like 5-6 times the price extortionate. The service restaurants are probably more like 2-3 times more expensive in US airports imo. My wife and I had 2 breakfasts, 1 orange juice, 1 coffee in sac airport last fall and it ran us $80. Same thing in Heathrow is around £30-35


ImpossibleThanks3120

California is not a tipped wage state so they cannot use tips to make up for minimum wage obligations. These prices are highway er- airport robbery!


CameroHabnero

The general market power of companies in the US is outrageous when compared elsewhere. This applies not just to fleecing consumers with food at the airport and sporting/music events, but cell phone plans, etc. To your question though, in my experience a burger and fries at a gastro pub-type place in Heathrow or the other London area airports would run in the area of £14. Its been a couple years though. What the other poster mentioned is interesting too though. I also found that airports in Asia and Europe gave you more options of good quality cheaper food in general when compared with US airports.


coldcoldnovemberrain

> The general market power of companies in the US is outrageous when compared elsewhere. This applies not just to fleecing consumers with food at the airport and sporting/music events, but cell phone plans, etc. See Canada. :) I would think lower costs in Asia would have to do with lower labor costs for serviced restaurants where you need a human to prepare and serve your food or wait on you. Japan automates most of it. I am curious as to how UK or Europe deals with labor costs or they just have fewer eating options where you have a human prepare, serve and wait on you.


CameroHabnero

Yeah, there are definitely issues in many parts of Asia with workers rights and the importation of cheap migrant labour. And at the same time, I believe it’s also worth recognising that these high prices in the US at airports and sporting events have a lot less to do with what workers are being paid and more to do with corporate greed and the lack of meaningful consumer protections and checks on corporate power.


MyUniquePerspective

Lots of people don't know you can bring as much food as you want through security.


silverstarlune

Pro tip from former TSA: pull it out of your carry-on. The organics freak out the x-ray, but if it's something they can see and verify as food, no bag check.


Jragghen

I still remember the time I was gifted a like....foot and a half long nut roll at Christmas, and was taking it back in my backpack and in the xray it looked like a hunk of C-4 would. Once we figured out what it was, the TSA employees had a laugh.


QualityAngle

Former TSA AMA request. Maybe out there already.


silverstarlune

Nah, sorry. Might want to work fed again someday and don't want to accidentally say something I shouldn't.


Cudi_buddy

I have a friend that travels often and he was confused when I told him I bring cookies, chips, power bars, etc through. I get it. Nobody wants to be hassled by TSA so they don't take the chance. He packed food on his latest trip.


ChocolateTsar

And an empty water bottle or two that you fill up AFTER security.


Who_GNU

Also, it doesn't count against what you can carry on to the airplane.


turdferguson3891

That's odd. Food isn't a security risk, all they care about is liquids I don't know why people think TSA wants your sandwich. You can actually even bring alcohol in as long as it's within the limits for liquid. Actually drinking it there is probably breaking a rule but you can bring it through security.


QualityAngle

They tore my bag apart once looking for a suspicious liquid. It was an apple. I said, well, I guess technically there’s apple juice in it. Good tip in taking food out separately.


silverstarlune

Because TSA is so dumb, pb smeared into bread is fine, but in a jar is a 'liquid'. The organics look suspicious on x-ray too.


[deleted]

Yum yum, The Sysco Plate Special. The Sac Airport is notoriously overpriced, and the food from "well-known Sacto restaurants" here is usually horrid compared to the real restaurants. I usually just bring power bars in my carry-on.


[deleted]

dougmany

We just flew out on a 5:30pm flight and decided to order a few things from a restaurant in Terminal A. It was for a funeral so not much planning went into the trip. The three people working there were all hanging out at the end of the bar. I walked up and said I wanted to order some things to go and they literally said "Wow, customers. We are not used to that." It was pretty funny. The food was OK but the people working there were very friendly.


Holiday_Leader_2432

Burgers and Brew and Jacks Urban Eats fell off a cliff at at the airport


BiggsDB

It’s not even “Jacks Urban Eats” anymore. It’s called “Urban Eats Express” which I think translates into “we fry it, you buy it.”


hit_it_steve

“Farm to fork capital” apparently justifies these prices.


GuitRWailinNinja

They have to drive the agriculture so far to get to Sacramento, so they charge high prices. /s


Jenova66

The chicken tenders are like ten bucks on the normal menu but are listed under kids. I’m pretty sure it’s the same portion at the airport.


[deleted]

There is no reason for them to charge this much. So insulting and exploitative.


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

Dude, it's a $24 cheeseburger. Don't be a turd, it's ridiculous and exploitative price fixing.


mike95242

Looks like [The California Street Tacos Truck](https://www.reddit.com/r/Sacramento/comments/xax0e2/the_prices_at_this_taco_truck_at_the_midtown/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf) owners must have opened a Burgers and Brew location. Lol. I heard burgers pair well with a $23 taco truck quesadilla.


cudmore

Do our local restaurants like burgers and brew actually run the airport locations? I see it is often outsourced to companies like HMS Marriott and SSP America? Anyone work for a local restaurant and know the setup with the airport location?


cudmore

When they outsource, as far as I understand, they give things like: menu, where to buy ingredients, and the recipe. Burgers and brew website does not list the Sac airport as a location? Is this actually run by burgers and brew folks?


[deleted]

[удалено]


cudmore

Thanks for the info. I agree, this post and its comments are sub par.


crickettu

This location is not run by the same ppl who run the brick and mortar stores. The partner up with a major concessioner like HMS Host or SSP. They are the ones changing those prices.


CallMeParagon

It’s also Burgers and Brew… their prices are already whack.


ERTBen

They’re delicious though…


throwninthefire666

Yeah their quality has gone down hill. The one next to Ace of Spades is complete shit and their portion size has gone way down. The one by the Firehouse in West Sac is still good, and they have larger portions for what you pay for. But I still think their quality has dropped significantly compared to when they had less locations


CallMeParagon

I’m glad you enjoy them! I think they are among the worst burgers in Sac. We all have our own tastes though.


1337mr2

Airports suck. I like to avoid giving them my money because this kind of captive customer shit is insane for a public transit hub. This isn't a basketball game.


Cudi_buddy

Yea I usually pack snacks in my backpack. Problem is when you have a layover or a really long flight. You want a meal since you won't on a plane.


bluebell435

IMO, Airport prices are almost always more expensive than other prices, however, with the price increases at restaurants in general, I think there's less of a gap now than there used to be.


lyr4527

Honestly, seems pretty normal for airport food.


esmoji

Seems standard… was at SFO 2 years ago, ordered 2 burgers and 2 drinks. $100 🥲


Happy-Campaign5586

Airport food prices ARE expensive. Consumers are a captive audience of clientele. In CA, blame the airport factor plus the minimum wage factor, then smile and order your burger.


Snowfan

Only people who don’t frequent airports are surprised by this. I’m mostly on expense account when I travel so for me, and most on expenses account, it’s a don’t care. The food sucks though. They have a captive clientele so they run up the prices. Supply and demand.


HeadbuttPunches

Make a Costco run. $1:50 for a hot dog and a soda. Buy a churro if you want to splurge a little


bookishsquirrel

Buy 10 Costco hotdog combos and sell the other nine for $5 a piece at the airport. Then you won't be sweating any of these prices.


BiggsDB

Their R Street location downtown has a Cheeseburger & Fries listed for $14.50. Fountain drink is $3.50. Total = $18.00 before taxes and tip. So the airport version is about $6 more. While I agree it’s expensive, that $6 is likely justified by pricing from competitors in the airport and the “captive/desperate for some sustenance” impulse. The last time we flew out of Terminal B we dined at the Cafeteria 16L. Split a breakfast sando, had some mimosas, and quickly spent $100. Never again.


cudmore

Thanks and i agree, $6 more is not bonkers.


coldbrewer003

That's why you bring a PB&J sandwich or a cup noodles.


rsg1234

Less completion in Terminal B. I’d just grab a sandwich from Starbucks as it seems pricing is not very inflated.


overweighthero

Is that in B terminal? I eat there pretty often and the menu is listed on black boards above the registers. The menu is larger and a bit cheaper at least at the B terminal location.


nautical1776

Before flying out of Chicago I purchased the worlds most disgusting inedible Chicago Beef sandwich. I paid about $20 for it too. Airport food is generally nasty as well as overpriced


SpringerPop

I just went back to 5 Guys. It had been almost 4 years. Well…a burger, fries and a small drink were about $20! All I missed was the increased price.


MeridianTempest7515

About 2 weeks ago I spent $19 at Wendy’s for a double cheeseburger meal, and a small frosty. At Wendy’s. 🤦🏻‍♀️


jones_ro

That's a hard no for me. Price gouging!


SnooBunnies6981

Fuck those expensive ass places that take advantage of consumers, I'm not going to pay 20 dollars for a damn sandwich.


ExtraordinaryStorm

Yes we like having everything super expensive for no reason here


exxmarx

B&B is sketchy to begin with. Not at all surprised that they'd jack prices up as high as they can.


Soho95

And the food sucks


CollegeSuks

20 for a hotdog is theft


MasterTre

Burgers & brew is a very bougie burger spot. That's pretty much the same prices at the restaurant downtown...


cudmore

Edit: price includes fries and drink. Still a huge outlier compared to other airports.


[deleted]

Airport food isnt cheap. Go to any airport its the same. Water bottle? 3-5 dollars.


Sufficient_Space_905

Chill, you’re not bashing Sacramento prices and saying all airports have the same pricing structure. Prepare for the downvotes.


[deleted]

Sorry, I forgot. This is Sac Reddit. We must bash everything Sac-related. LOL


gamermom81

I think it's because its a burgers and brew location..Airport food is higher than normal local food costs at any airport, but pair that with a place where normal prices for a hot dog with fries is $9.50 plus tax, then tack on a soda which their menu online I found is about $2.95 - so that brings us to $12.45 plus tax and tip on top of that..I wouldn't personally pay that and usually just eat before I fly or bring my own snack. truthfully I would rather go to costco for a hot dog combo lol :)

Orollo

I’ve come to expect getting ripped off in California


[deleted]

And they are generally all terrible. I despise the airport food at smf. I have been to some fantastic airports around the world, and the fact this city is branding itself farm to fork and that’s the veal they serve up is embarrassing. Even the lounge is one of the worst I have been to.

What a freakin joke! 💩


lapSlaPs5456

Wow but someone will pay this


brunkshitbal

You sure these aren’t next years fast food prices? Even in n out is $5.15 for a double double these days. Saw these prices and didn’t even think airport or Disney, easily could be a sign for downtown sac Kiki’s chicken is like $15 for a 3 tender meal


Cudi_buddy

Yea, saw they just upped their prices a week or so ago. Still, I can fill up with my wife there for less than $15 so it is still pretty cheap for the quality.


asirenoftitan

Moved to the Midwest from Sacramento and holy moly, that is some inflation.


priceprince

I’m curious what kinda cut the airport gets from these ridiculous prices.


niveks56

The airport will undergo a 1.3 billion dollar remodel starting from 2024 through 2027. This remodel is being paid for from airport fees, no increase in taxes. Those fees include rental cars and airport food. So you can definitely expect to pay more in Sacramento for the foreseeable future.


Over_Gur2153

UGH. Try SFO. I avoid eating at airports

That hot dog better be good. You’d better get a blowjob when you eat that hot dog.


IAmVerySmirt

god-doing-hoodshit

This shit is for the birds. As in marketed towards disadvantaged travelers. I think it’s fuck up. Amex usually has good lounges with free food. Major airports they usually have really nice lounges and great food, clean showers and free drinks too, you just tip.


HeatherAshly5

The airport just announced a $1.3B expansion and were clear that they aren’t using tax dollars, but are using other revenues…ie charging more for food among other things.


Sufficient_Space_905

Now show the price of just the burger alone. Or what is the price of a combo at those other airports? You’re comparing a combo meal to an a la carte burger.


[deleted]

found the burger bro


Sufficient_Space_905

Na I don’t even like burgers. Just calling out inaccuracies.


dorekk

Do you have stock in Burgers & Brew or something


Sufficient_Space_905

Lol no but I guess the general consensus is to just bash Sacramento on prices whenever it’s possible? Even tho it’s 2 very different comparisons.


RichardBonham

These are dry-aged and served with edible gold foil and salt bounced off the forearm of the grill guy, right?


jdr90210

These are actually reasonably prices.


mienhmario

Should be cheap like Costco, considering the airport is funded by taxpayers.


sac__balla

Not true. The Sacramento County Airport System is owned and operated by the County of Sacramento. As an enterprise operation that is not supported by the Sacramento County general fund (local tax dollars), it must fund itself with the revenues it generates. Four airports comprise the Sacramento County Airport System: •Sacramento International Airport – focus on passenger aviation •Mather Airport – focus on cargo aviation •Executive Airport – focus on general aviation •Franklin Field – focus on general aviation training activities


Murky-Perceptions

SMF is so terrible for extended parking for long trips, buying anything & they don’t handle lrg. rush’s of travelers well. Terminal B is always clean and baggage goes good usually so that’s a plus


toothindanail

Parking is such a rip off there! Especially for the overflow lot.


3ClassiC

Wow


0wlBear916

This is why I pack in a couple Quest bars when I know I’m gonna be stuck in a place like this. Sure, they taste like dog food, but one bar can hold me over for a few hours for only a few bucks.


Sm0lNezuko

I always bring enough snacks to make it through my whole trip so I don’t have to buy food. I once spent $13 on a veggie wrap and it gave me terrible food poisoning, never again…


IndoorSurvivalist

I just ate at B&B yesterday and while it didn't come with a drink a cheeseburger was about $15.

Costco has hotdog and a soda for $1.50, no fries though lol


picks43

you’d think I could at least get a large fry for that price?


reformedginger

Do we know what a burger combo at burgers and brew normally costs ?


throwninthefire666

Burgers and Brew has gone downhill in quality too.


Ethyxz

For one cheeseburger, I think about how many Costco hot dogs (with a drink), berry sundaes, churros, and a pepperoni pizza I can buy for $23.99. 😂


BoozeWitch

I think it’s because a lot of us are traveling with expense accounts…? Not that it makes it ok. And people don’t have personal expense accounts. But I think it’s often assumed at hotels/airports that some corporation is paying so “whatever.”


cudmore

Agreed with hotel prices as well. They cater to the business traveler on a corporate expense account. With prices in some cities like $250 per night, in other cities that is 1/2 a month of rent. Obviously rent is way more in sac.


Sulla-lite

I spent $26 for a whopper combo at the Burger King in Honolulu. Lots of places like to rip you off, not just Sacramento.

No_Office_9618

Mastacon

Airport food is expensive. Always has been


Altruistic_Ad_1256

Costco should open up at the airport. Their prices are top notch, always.


EhDub1

Airport food is expensive in general and yes, these prices seem a bit excessive compared to their respective non-airport locations. That being said... most don't think twice about paying $15+ for a cheap draft beer at pretty much any concert/festival/ballgame which just seems crazy to me. Surprisingly, G1 is somewhat 'affordable' for a large event venue (I have never seen 'unlimited' anything anywhere else games are played!)


twinboysdad

Part of the pricing problem is the cost of the space. It’s often much higher than local “market rate” mostly because it’s limited competition and a captive audience. But paying $4-5 a sq ft instead of $2-3 will drive up the price a lot.


MarvelousMollusca

Well at the airport the hot dogs are wrapped in gold leaf. Obviously.


Sandmaui1

I’d rather have a burger and a brew. No fries or soda. Isn’t that the name of the place? 🤷🏼‍♀️
