It could also be considered fancy dining. I mean part of the advertisement even says 'Jellied Eels, (Fresh, not canned!)' as if that somehow makes them better... and thus more valuable/expensive.

I mean really, you don't know anyone who ever got their paycheck, went out the first or second night someplace really nice... and then eats left-overs or p&j sandwiches for like the next ten days? LOL

Plus there were dogs fights (and presumably gambling) at this place. The prices could more than likely be 1.5, 2, or even 3 times normal price.
