My wife and I took our newborn and toddler to Off-the-Grid last night in downtown Pleasant Hill. Off-the-Grid is a bi-weekly summer event with food trucks and live music. Basically, it's an opportunity for the community to gather together have an outdoor picnic and let our kids roll around in the grass. As we walked the food truck line trying to decide what to what to eat, my eyes were drawn to the Lobster Roll truck. I have a weakness for anything seafood, especially if bread is involved. As I stood in line waiting to place my order, doubt began to seep in. The price for a lobster roll was $6. At first, I thought ok, that seems reasonable; but as I the line shrunk and I got closer to the ordering window, the price point started to bother me. I’d walked by the Burger truck and they were charging $14 a burger. I’d walked by the Kalua BBQ truck and they were charging $13 for a bowl of rice and chicken. I’d walked by the Grilled Cheese truck and they were charging $13 for a grilled cheese sandwich. $6 really seemed on the cheap side. I get the fact the $14 for a burger and $13 for a grilled cheese sandwich is robbery; but I live in the Bay Area and I understand that over paying for everything is just part of living here. As I got closer and closer to the ordering window, the $6 started to bother me more and more. Why only $6? What’s wrong with it? Is it not real lobster? Why is the damn lobster so goddamn cheap? The fog of doubt got so thick that I actually got out of line and ordered Kahlua chicken and rice from a different truck. I then sat there on the grass, playing with my children, eating chicken and rice, pissed off because I didn’t order the lobster roll. Damn that Lobster Roll truck. If only they’d over priced their food like everybody else I wouldn't have had to overpay for chicken and rice.
