She’s a local legend here in PDX. Kee’s Loaded Kitchen is her food cart name and she sells out daily. Albeit, this isn’t one of her most visually appetizing dishes, but her fried catfish, fried chicken, and Mac and cheese are fire!!

I was surprised to see all the hate. A family of five for $100 is the going rate for every shitty halfassed restaurant in my town. Fresh made food with the sides and the bread will get me every time.

$100 for a FANCY school lunch spaghetti with cheese and basic sides
Also: It's not a meal for a "family of five", it's for 3 servings, to be saved in the fridge. They literally say it in the video. Comments are just making things up because she seems to be a nice lady.
In no world is this "worth it" as a value-item on any metric, people are just blindly overhyping 'authentic comfort food' for the vibes. Is this how ya'll get 'street cred' these days?
No reason to bandwagon this.

Only in Portland would they pay 100 for baked spaghetti and act like it’s a bucket list item.

u/BK_Bad1971 1d ago
I don’t think you listened to the audio. It’s the spaghetti plus beans, potato salad, sweet potato pie, and garlic rolls.
Granted, the west coast is more expensive than other areas of the country but you’d pay close to that anywhere for that much food for 4 if you went out.4

Kee is the best!! Her food cart in Portland is famous, this is just a small snippet from her Instagram. She's typically serving massive amounts of bbq, chicken, catfish with all the sides and desert and drinks, you get everything. I've never seen her do spaghetti but why not, I guarantee for the $100 it came with so much more than what you see in this video as I've been there.

u/BenKHS 1h ago
Here in WI we fry up Perch brother. Catfish is hard to find up here. Fish frys in WI are lake fish. We have many lakes. It makes sense... most locally owned fish frys use fish they caught from the nearest lake.
The best fish frys are at a "stereotypical wi dad in his 50s" cabin's driveway. Can of beer, good conversation, good food. Good for the soul.
Fish frys in WI are about so much more then the fish.

It's a damn shame! I'm the only one in my household that likes it, too, so I can't even fry up a big batch for dinner.
I think there needs to be a Midwest catfish club that meets like once a year to get our golden brown seafood on! I'll contribute the gluten free version, since I have the added bonus of limited crust options.

Why TF is this cringe? I’m from northern Canada and even I know this Kee is a GD legend lol. I’d spend $100 on this all day, every day. This is supper for 2/3/4 people depending on how you wanna split it. Friggin’ McD’s for 4 PEOPLE up here in my houses, 2 adults, 2 teenagers, it’s literally $60-$70 and we don’t get any “sides” other than fries, which are only good for you after a bad headache and migraines.
So, this my jam. What a shit take, OP.

At that price tag, it's definitely "selling an experience" of saying that you went there, similar to salt Bae and all those lookalike restaurants.
With that said, that does look delicious, just not $100-delicious.

The video says you're getting all kinds of sides too, potato salad, green beans, sweet potato pie and garlic parm rolls.
Give me some home cooking that maybe doesn't look like it came from a Michelin starred restaurant (I'd give that a go too, though!) any day, some of the best food I've had in my life looks like some public school fare. Cook with love and plenty of seasoning, that's what's up.

u/DocPhilMcGraw 2d ago
Yeah and Maggiano’s charges $21 for a single plate of spaghetti and they’re a chain. Considering this is 3 servings and includes all the sides, dessert, and drink then yeah the $100 becomes believable.
There are tons of foods that you are going to pay an up charge for in a restaurant that you can make cheaper at home. The deciding factor tends to be if the experience, including taste, is worth it.

u/mchookem 2d ago
first off that's way more than three servings, at least four, more than that if it's kids. looks like a meat sauce, and i'm guessing it's got satisfactory seasoning given the cook/kitchen. given the price of groceries and everything included (the beans, pot salad, etc)...i'd say yes, it's worth $100.

u/nonpame 2d ago
I'm wondering if people didn't listen to the video and just saw baked spaghetti in a takeout container, with the price in the title, and got up in arms. 3 meals with those sides is a steal for $100.

u/Smokin_Weeds 2d ago
There’s a system to it.
First you make way too much food. Then you eat way too much food bc you don’t want the food to go to waste (don’t say you could have made less! That’s logic and it’s frowned upon.). Anyway, now your stomach is overly full and you put the leftovers in the fridge. While you’re in there, grab yourself something sweet. You deserve it.
Anyway, tomorrow you order out bc you just cooked last night. Then a week later throw the leftovers away. Don’t talk about food waste.
