Guests of the Department of Justice snacked on muffins that cost $16 apiece, according to a new report. You may be wondering how this is possible. Two words: Tin service. In case you haven’t heard, that’s bottle service for muffins – a piping hot new trend among Washington power brokers.
Here’s how it works: An attractive server brings a steaming tray of muffins to your table, while your guests relax in an exclusive semi-private banquette.
Guests serve themselves and may use knives to customize their breakfast pastries with butter, jam, and non-dairy spread, all of which are included in the price of $192 per dozen.
Each muffin contains less than 16 cents worth of ingredients, but that’s all part of the mystique.
Know before you go: Most tin service establishments have a 2-tray minimum for a party of four. Peanut butter and cream cheese surcharges apply.
