Why tf Oxtails costing more and more everyday?

[Devil Plisken…CMS]

Weirdly enough, around here in NYC, you get more value (more actual tails and cheaper) from the Dominican spots. But they only have them on certain days

Noticed that years back. I never tasted theirs but I know they let it go for like 7 or 8 dollars. I wonder what's the science behind it

Oxtails got gentrified.

It's expensive and takes hours to cook

Slow cooking oxtail stew all day...

Having the smell just absorb into your home.

Gentrification breh, cacs starting to find out about it, just like chicken feet, intestines etc. What was once considered a poor man's meal (just like lobster was) is now a delicacy.

same thing with anything from carribbean and latin communities...it gets mainstream

Look what they did to chicken feet, Collard greens, plantains, avocados, kale, quinoa, yams, ackee, bok choy, etc...

ALSO...Whole Foods had a HUGE hand to play in this.

It’s the same science on why Dominican barbers are $25 when the black barbers are all celebrities charging $40 and better.

Oxtails got gentrified.

We gotta move past this thinking where everything is black/white. Oxtail is a common dish in Asia, South America, Africa, the Caribbean, and parts of Europe (specifically Spain). Why would I be shocked that the price is rising in such a diverse country as America?
