Chicken Piccata?!
Chicken Piccata?
I went to dinner at the Broadmoor (the rich part of Colorado Springs) and paid nearly $25 for Chicken Piccata with a side of rice and vegetables. I can make Chicken Piccata at home, along with rice and veggies, but is it reasonable to pay that price for something that I could make just as well?
Answers:
Well, the Broadmoor is very expensive (depends on which of their many restaurants you go to, but ...). I still think $25 for chicken piccata is REALLY high - it's CHICKEN, not veal! If you can make it at home, don't order it out unless you want to see how someone else makes it : ).
For fabulous Italian in the Springs, go to Biaggis at the shops at Briargate on Briagate Pkwy. They have yummy food and it's pretty reasonable for a white tablecloth kind of restaurant (no, I don't work for them I just really like their food!)

Absolutely NOT. I love to cook. When I go out to eat I usually order something that I wouldn't cook at home. I could see if you had a great piece of fish, or something that was really time consuming to prepare, but not chicken. You got hosed!
well that is expensive...for me it would have to be a special occasion. if not i would make it myself...
