So what's the deal on a dozen ershtas on half shell: $14 or $8? Is a special price ever in effect?

$8 last weekend

8 buck when we were there

It was a special when we were there. I don't know if it is for a limited time or not. My wife said they were excellent.

$8 a dozen when I went

$8 per dozen and were huge

$8 a dozen is what we paid. That is lower than anywhere I have eaten coast to coast.
