Posting this from Selkirk Shores... to be uploaded later... no

It seems to be some yuppyish sort of thing:
I saw them in a steakhouse where, because
they didn't sell as many desserts as they
wanted to, they started offering these little
bite-size things including cheesecake pops
for a buck. Even if you aren't going to spring
for a full slice at $4 or more, when they bring
out a tree of these things at a dollar each, many
people will say, oh, well, why not, it's only a
buck, and I wanted just a bite of something
sweet. The profit margin would be way more, bite
for bite, than a full serving would get for the
restaurant.

Even at 3 for a buck, the profit margin would be a lot greater... ;)

You're quite welcome. One of the things this
echo is good for is getting the skinny on
stuff you don't know about.

SOW, a friend saw a health alert about avoiding oysters because they now
harbor a flesh-eating bacteria/virus... do you know anything about
that...? She asked me, but that isn't anything I stay up on... so then
she suggested I ask my more informed friends in the Cooking Echo... ;)
