Food & Beverage: The Aramark Era begins

Its the way its presented though! Like the breakfast in the pizza box, just no disguising how cheap it is compared to the price being paid. There are ways to make something that is cheap look more expensive than it is! If they had put it into a smaller white bowl to make it look more and stuck a sprig of something green on top which could easily be removed it would be something and hardly rocket science! It looks nothing more than a quid's worth in that picture!

If someone has ordered plain pasta, no sauce for a picky child I would definitely not expect a "sprig of something green on top" as that alone could be enough for the child to choose not to eat it.

$50 / £40ish for this? Absolutely disgusting prices. Brisket, fries, drink and cookie at Seaworld Orlando. That's if you don't have a dining package.

I mean, I know we slate Aramark (quite rightly at times), but at least they are a way off from this price point at the moment.

Amarark are way off the quality of that meat too!

This is a slightly unfair comparison, the price is slightly on the steep side yes, but it's not far off reality. Brisket has become more expensive recently.

I paid £26 for half a pound of proper brisket recently at a UK high street restaurant, another £4 for fries and £4 for a drink. We are already at £34 there. That photo looks like Universal are giving you around the same amount of meat weight wise. The cheapest ive found half a pound of proper slow cooked brisket on its own, is for around £22 in the UK.

So getting brisket of all meats, with fries, drink and a cookie for £40, in a themepark.....that's pretty good to be honest. Pretty good when compared to what we currently pay in UK high streets right now.

You want 'cheap', Go eat the highly processed burgers or nuggets. Proper, slow cooked brisket is costing much more recently all over the earth. A sad but true reality.

A fair point, quality I am yet to see however. Especially for the price point.

As expected the brisket at the smokehouse in Chessington, while cheaper, looks drier than the Sahara desert, going off Google photos posted by customers.

I mean the place also failed Food Hygiene when it was inspected so I doubt I'll be getting close to try it.
