Freaking 30 !!!

But that's the problem! You knowingly paid $30.

People here will grumble and get on and still pay up so why not rinse out Trinis. Once they want something they can't/won't stop themselves. They have to have it.

Once this food crisis that is worldwide is over, you think anything will go back in relation? No.

Pizza Lab started as a home operation for pickup only.He is closed these days, as he is building a proper shop.I wish him all the best in his endeavors as he is a really good person that I have known for a long time.
He supposed to be doing a proper opening when he is done.Will let you guys know.This dude is going to blow up quickly if he keeps up his quality.

Not that I aware of.He wasn't in the food industry up to the beginning of covid.This was a career change opportunity.No rolling pin involved.Hand stretched stuff.Guy really enjoys making pizza as far as I can see
Not bigging up the guy because I know him.The product speaks for itself.I know you in the food biz Pug, so you'll have more targetted questions and whatnot.When he opens the shop, I'll let you know

If you support the 1% then you support sustainable jobs ( Yes and with NIS ) .

Pizza shouldn't be a frequent thing anyway. You eat it like once a month or so. It's better to spend a little more and get a quality pizza instead of the regular ones.

Also places that use a proper pizza oven like La Cantina, El Portico produce a better end product than Pizza Hut/Dominos/Papa Johns/Marios/Little Caesars/Pizza Boys/Joe's.

As far as food prices are concerned, it will be interesting to be informed about what percentage of cost of items is accounted for in duties and taxes.
In fact it is useful to note that the state may be earning significantly more at citizens expense without bring any real value added to the table.

more likely a shortage because wealthier countries will buy out all available stock

and local groceries don't want to get blamed or have stock spoil because customers can't pay the new global price

i donno what to describe what coming. not a recession, since we in recession already.. maybe a crash? we might not even know when it happens, given the free fall we already in lol
