Neiman Marcus Holiday Meals $$$$

sidsmom — Thu, 03 Nov 2016 01:43:49 GMT

Since we can't add links, Google 'Neiman Marcus Gourmet Food'

for their holiday prepared meals.

Oh.

My.

Goodness..$$$$$$

Here are a couple samples of their choices.

$85 Vegetarian Cornbread Dressing &

$66 Collard Greens.

I know Neiman Marcus definitely has a particular demographic

but with all the 5-star restaurants in a large city, I would

order/cater through them versus Neiman's.

I'm sure it's tasty, but the $$$$ is so....'Neiman Marcus!!!'

I'm not tempted at all. I don't like cornbread dressing, and collards are easy to make. Dressing isn't hard either. It probably doesn't taste any better than something you make yourself

Ack! $66 for collard greens. There are perhaps $5 worth of ingredients in this dish.

Just wanted to add that last month, I had to throw together a lunch in an area I was traveling to. I went online to Whole Foods (and I see there is a thread about them on this board)...and was able to preorder a selection of catered foods for 10 people for about $150 The food was ready when I arrived and the quality was very good.

That's almost $17 a serving for cornbread dressing Lol

I'm sure a local restaurant would have something just as good.

I don't get why people post about prepared dishes they don't want at prices they can't afford?

Everyone has a different budget. NM prices aren't much higher than WS.

Obviously, it sells enough and is profitable enough that it's offered year after year.

No mashed potatoes?

Re: Neiman Marcus Holiday Meals $$$$

cherry — Thu, 03 Nov 2016 02:34:18 GMT

I guess they think another side of potatoes is overkill

Re: Neiman Marcus Holiday Meals $$$$
