$30 per Dozen Donuts?

No wonder conventions are fleeing (or have fled) the city - did you catch these prices? Someone posted the McCormick Place Catering Menu in our comment section.
  • Quaker Chewy Granola Bars (10) - $18
  • Breakfast Bagels - $38.70 per dozen
  • Assorted Miniature Hershey Chocolates - $24 per pound
Even a half-pint of milk (tiny carton) is $2.25, which as a helpful reader pointed out, equals $36 per gallon.

And the truly amazing part? At the bottom of just about every page, those words that make you just want to run out and reserve next years convention spot far away from here:
  • Prices do not include 21% service charge and applicable sales taxes
21% plus something like an 11% sales tax. Someone better have plans for all that empty space.
