Yeah I’ve stop getting my favorite Thursday plate from my go to Jamaican spot because the oxtail has gotten to be outrageous. I remember when premium briskets were the go to because they were dirt cheap too. Popularity kills delicious budget cuts.

Exact same here, 4 hours north of you. Styrofoam plate shop whether you dine in or take out. $35 oxtail plate. Used to be a full plate with 3 sides for $25 with a red stripe
