I doubt he ordered dry pasta. Most likely he ordered 10 or so of every pasta dish on the menu.

What restaurants let you order dry pasta beside the ones in food halls?

Home Room in Oakland is delivering TP and dry pasta with delivery orders right now.

I predict we'll see a lot more of that kind of thing with reduced occupancy at restaurants. Come in for a meal, leave with a week's groceries.

Shrimp scampi at the deli by me is like $16. Ordering for a family of 4 with just 2-3 meals a week would easily cost $5k+

shrimps are way more costly than pasta

And even eating shrimps 3 times a week, with 5,000$ of shrimps a family of 4 could eat shrimps for a year.
