"We get asked 'but how much does a packet of pasta really cost?', but it's the delivery driver who brings it in, it's the chef who made it, the electricity and gas that goes into cooking it, powering the dishwasher that cleans it, the waiter who serves you, the lights in the restaurant while you eat it - there's a lot that goes into getting that meal on your plate, that people are just not aware of." "It's interesting when you compare the demographics between Western Sydney and the Inner West with property prices and expenses and a registered club is charging $35 - it puts things into perspective," Moio said. "There's registered clubs charging $35 for the same sized schnitzel so is a $28 schnitzel served with baked vegetables really that expensive?" The restaurant is located in Sydney's Inner West and the schnitzel in question is 400g. "It's an a la carte restaurant and we are priced at where we need to be to provide value," Moio said. If this isn't a sign of how bad Australia's economy is getting, a Sydney bowls club is charging $35 for a humble chicken schnitzel and chips.
