Columbus Zoo: Food, Food Everywhere But Not A Bite To Eat

[The Interpreter]

A plaint about fast food and boring choices at high prices:

...Of course the food will be overpriced: they have you and they're going to squeeze some extra money out of you while you're there. Hey, it's capitalism…the American way. And I'm all for it. I knew we'd pay a little more, but I didn't want the hassle of hitting a local grocery, packing up and dragging a cooler around.

I kept my eyes open, looking for something interesting to eat....

There was really no need to snap photos of the food since it was the same stuff you could buy out of the frozen section of Sam's. I thought the flamingos would be much more interesting.

My meal was alright – I was too hungry at this point to be very discerning and I still had enough cash leftover to buy a new pair of shoes at Easton. But if I come to the Zoo again, I think I'll go ahead and pack that cooler!

Note two things:

* the comments after the article.

* the relatively lower prices cited compared to somewhere this forum is largely about.

When I go to a themepark I want to be able to get something nice to eat. I know its going to be overpriced but that is just the way it is.

Huh?

but there are like 2 or 3 festhaus like areas

The writer's complaint is not quite that literal...but rather that there is no interesting food...only chain stuff and things that appear to be warmed up from Sam's Club.
