Why is it that every restaurant I go to has cheese sticks as an appetizer, but they cost like $8.00 or something, this is ridiculous.

Obviously they make a lot of money on appetizers.

Everything in restaurants is more due to they want to make big profits and cheese in general is expensive! Here's a good one: I go to Bob Evans from time to time and for whatever reason, I love their kids' macaroni and cheese! Well, it is just Kraft brand mac and cheese, but the way it's made there is really good! So, as you know, you can get a box of Kraft macaroni and cheese in the grocery store for like 99 cents!
That box makes quite a bit too, like quite a few cups! So, anyway, when I go to Bob Evans, I get an order of the macaroni and cheese and the dish they bring holds maybe and I mean, maybe, a cup of mac and cheese! That is being generous! So, anyway, I get that with a side salad and 1 roll and a piece of cocnut cream pie and a soda and they charge $1.99 just for the mac and cheese! INSANE! So, that is just how a lot of restaurants are! But, if you really like the cheese sticks, then go for it once in awhile and treat yourself!

Cheese takes a lot of milk to make and a long time to mature. Storing it while it "ripens" is just one of the problems a manufacturer faces. Spending that kind of money on a cheese appy however is a waste unless it's just a nibbly you are looking for. On top of a meal that is going to make your bill very high.
