Well, if it isn't my favorite chef: the Trader Joe's frozen aisle.
People Are Losing It After Finding Out A Hotel Marked Up A Grocery Store Dinner By $16 On Its"Chef-Driven" MenuHotel food markups probably come as a surprise to no one — room service and a few minibar snacks can quickly run you dry. For hotel guest Elle McLemore , that high markup rang in at about $16 when she discovered that her hotel seemingly passed off a $3.79 frozen bag of Trader Joe's cacio e pepe pasta as a luxurious $20 meal.
Elle admitted that had she not found out about the behind-the-scenes details of the meal, she probably wouldn't have guessed that the pasta was frozen; she mentioned that cacio e pepe was her favorite dish when she traveled to Italy."If you have had pasta in Italy, you might agree that the pasta tastes simpler and less salty there than in America. So when I tasted this one, I thought the slight blandness was possibly due to being authentic," she explained.
She was also"thrilled" with the presentation but noted that the other meals they had, a vegetable flatbread and a lava cake, were"worse than the pasta." She also noticed the high price of the snacks in the room, which she described as"just a couple tiny generic grocery store–brand items." While the staff didn't explicitly talk about their"chef-driven" menu with their guests, Elle said that it was clear that the food and overall"wellness" experience was something the hotel was proud of."They definitely take pride in it, saying they have food that nourishes the body and soul, which is so funny to us now," she mentioned. She also told BuzzFeed that they didn't bring up their surprising discovery to any of the staff.
