X<\/a>.<\/p>\nAussies were outraged by the pricey staple, branding the pricing “criminal”.<\/p>\n
“Does that say $24 dollars for a b****y meat pie?! Somebody notify the Prime Minister,” one joked.<\/p>\n
“Those prices are f***ing outrageous,” another said while a third added: “Better be the diameter of an F1 tire for that price.”<\/p>\n
“Sounds like the mafia is still running Vegas. That is absolutely criminal,” another added.<\/p>\n
One Las Vegas Grand Prix attended shared a photo of the pie and its ingredients to the Australian Meat Pie Society on Facebook.<\/p>\n
The pie contained ground beef and mushrooms, and is served with a fris\u00e9e, watercress and citrus vinaigrette salad.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Australian classic dish also appeared to be one of the most expensive offerings available at the Formula 1 event.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Other pricey options included fish and chips, which would set attendees back $US24, and a halal chicken rice bowl, priced at $US22.<\/p>\n
This was not the first time the pricing of food served at Formula 1 events in the US has come under fire.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Last year, fans could not believe the premium prices Miami Grand Prix attendees were paying for food and drink at Hard Rock’s Beach Club Desk.<\/p>\n
The club prided itself on having trackside viewing, multiple bars, a pool and performances from big stars such as Ed Sheeran.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Fans could treat themselves to a selection of chilled \u201cbites\u201d, which included lobster rolls for $US190 ($290), yellowfin tuna poke for $US170 ($260),\u00a0 and a fruit plate with pink pineapple, watermelon, stone fruit, rambutan, kiwi and coconut granita for $US190 ($290).<\/p>\n
In the “warmed” section on the Hard Rock menu, guests could order a coconut chicken and angus garlic beef empanada duo for $US170 ($260), steamed buns with Korean BBQ shiitake and pickled vegetables for $US120 ($180), nachos for $US180 ($280) and a crispy wing board for $US190 ($290).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The “absolutely criminal” prices of food being served at Formula 1 events in the US has gone viral…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":311840,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[572],"tags":[64,63,2610,817,2623,41955,176676,806,805,803,804,85],"class_list":["post-311839","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-motosport","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-cost-of-living","tag-f1","tag-las-vegas","tag-las-vegas-grand-prix","tag-meat-pie","tag-motor","tag-motor-sports","tag-motosport","tag-motosports","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/311839","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=311839"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/311839\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/311840"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=311839"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=311839"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=311839"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
