and the long waiting lines outside some of the restaurants it makes you wonder what conditions will be like at the peak of the summer rush One writer noted that the he varinn Restaurant was quite costly while other eating places ran out of food and were forced to turn customers away The in timate restaurant in the Ontario pavilion however was one of the few that offered meal at rea sonable rate The menu posted outside the Ontario pavilion at the weekend billed lightlybrowned Brampton chicken at $345 There were plenty of seats available at this restaurant too where prices seem to be closer to lilontreal city rates While these stories about the high cost of cod are seemingly legitimate complaints one Ex po olttctal says that the situation no doubt stems from the fact that the people in these pavilions have to pay their costs meet their overhead and at least break even by the end of Expo Maurice Novek who supervis es Expo Restnuranis said that part of the trouble at opening weekend was that food services were not yet ready to meet the demand Like many people planning to visit Expo this summer had hoped to sample the special dishes of other countries during my travels But
