Why Restaurants Are Charging $12 for Fancy Butter | Bon Appétit
"Inside Dedalus, a wine market and restaurant in Burlington, Vermont, I sat puzzled. Bread and butter were on the menu for $12, priced the same as a tempting chicken liver mousse. Unconvinced that the age-old duo should carry such a cost, I went with the cow itself: beef tartare dotted with caviar and shavings of horseradish. Still, the waiter returned to push the bread and butter. And in the end, curiosity won out; I caved." - ByNoah Lederman
