4 pieces of bacon is almost the same price as a burger?
Sounds about tesla
No 69s or 420s.
“Excuse me waiter, from which minority do you source these meats?”
“all day breakfast” do you see that McDonald’s? Donyou see it? That’s how to do it.
I don’t know what’s wrong with the McDonald’s breakfast procedure, but McMuffins apparently takes a lot of time. I ordered 8 one time, to feed the family, and the teen went seriously? I can only make 4 at a time, so it’s going to take a while
I’ve heard that breakfast is kind of a loss leader for fast food chains. It’s cheaper than the lunch options and the point is just to get people in the door in the morning and they’ll hopefully come back later/another day for more profitable meals. Don’t know how true it is, but that would explain the limited hours and them giving you grief for trying to order a bunch.
Did you tell the teen “Then why the fuck are you talking to me? Get back there and start crackalackin!”
I know it’s a joke, but I’d slap a bitch if they said that during my shift at a minimum wage job.
I would never go because Elon is associated with it, but otherwise it’s kind of unremarkable. I’ve seen big chain restaurants with similar prices in the area. My biggest gripe is is that kid’s burger is the same price as the adult burger.
Same.
The prices seem reasonable albeit still a tad too expensive (my limit is 10€ for street food unless it’s something special).Oh, I’m with you. I just don’t pay $13 for a burger. Just because they’re unremarkable doesn’t mean they aren’t dumb.
The kids grilled cheese (which is literally just bread and American cheese) is also $13
Obviously the “just price everything at what we think people will pay” strategy.
Thats literally what every business everywhere does. It is basic economics. Prices are determined not by the cost to produce, but by what people are willing to pay.
I guess what I mean is that this place seems to be doing it at the aggregate level. Like someone decided that people going there would spend $13 for a meal, so everything is $13. Adult hamburger? $13. Kid’s hamburger? $13. Grilled cheese? $13.
Most places would say that people aren’t going to spend the same amount for a grilled cheese as for an adult burger, so they’d make the grilled cheese cheaper.
That’s a fair point.
The one good thing was the tallow fried french fries. Back in the 70s Mc Donald’s fried theirs in beef tallow and they were magical. What the heck is a “Snap O Razzo” hot dog? Nothing really interesting here. I’d rather go to an In and Out burger.
Makes you wonder if the ovens will explode like his cars and rockets
i want to go once to review it and compare it against other better diners i like in LA, but can i justify giving elon money directly instead of indirectly with my taxes
Mildly concerning.
The Boring Restaurant
I promise everything on that menu is like $10 overpriced.
$13 for a hot dog. Hot dog better be code for a fat blunt for $13
The hot dog is a little expensive but considering prices in LA these days, most of these prices are actually pretty reasonable. LA is a very high cost of living place now. Wages are far higher than almost anywhere else on the planet.
Can you still get a good $3 hot dog in NYC?
They should be fucking arrested for wasting Wagyu beef in a chili.
Why they fuck would you take one of the most expensive sources of beef (Wagyu) and make chili out of it?
Because it sounds nice? Literally, zero chance that is actually wagyu. It would be inedible due to the fat.
Wagyu is still just a type of cow and if you aren’t eating expensive graded cuts it’s not that much more expensive than angus. It’s still pointless to eat in a chili as the whole advantage of it is the marbling
I suppose you are correct. I took it to mean wagyu steak. They could just use the scraps from trimming the steaks they give to worthy people.
Also not all cows end up being graded super high so they have plenty of “low quality” Wagyu
Imagine living your entire life in prison and then you are murdered for your meat, only for some schlub with a neck beard to say, “eh… Kinda mid” about you.
Getting criticized in life for being too fat and in death for being too lean, just failing at everything
It’s likely American “wagyu” - i.e. unregulated “premium” beef
wow, 1/3 lb is small, I prefer to go to McDo they have the bigger 1/4lb burger!!
/s
Truly the American way.
Imagine being the richest person on earth and best you can come up with for a new restaurant is the most boring menu at ridiculous prices.
Edit: To be fair tho, gonna need a source on this. Since OP hasn’t provided a link or anything.
Ridiculous prices? This is pretty much normal in my area, which isn’t one of the most expensive places in the country. Boring ass menu though
I was about to say the same, but then realized that none of the entrees include fries. $14 for a burger and fries is not unexpected at your average sports bar, but without fries for a plain Jane burger? I don’t know what the market is like in LA …
But $12 for four strips of bacon is outrageous, and $5 for this cookie is a slap in the face
LA varies widely in food prices (I visit 2-3x a year). The overall vibe I can distill it down to is that these are competitive with small restaurants with no big name recognition or premium ingredients. UOVO pasta? 30-40$/serving. Some no name poke restaurant next to a Ralph’s? 15$ for a whole ass bowl of raw fish fresh from the fish market.
LA is the land of Star fuckers, where name recognition and vanity are above all else. If you stay away from the star fuckers, food there is actually affordable compared to the cost of living.
The hot dog says “served with fried potatoes” at least. If the burger doesn’t come with fries that’s criminal. How can you serve a burger without fries
Damn. Poor USians. Y’all are getting scammed for shitty food 😭
Yes, we are.
This guy’s hot dogs probably aren’t even $13.
Yeah prices look normal to me expect for the children’s menu. The point of a kid’s menu is that it is cheaper because the portions are smaller. I don’t understand what they are smoking with the identical prices to the adult menu.
It’s because fries are extra on the adult menu
Yeah, most hipster burger places charge more, TBH. In Austin the standard price for a burger is now $16 without sides.
Casino el Camino was like $20 for a burger and fries without tip. It was good, but that’s ridiculously expensive. I can get a Sweet & Spicy Bacon Burger at Whataburger for half the price and it’s just as filling (double patty and bacon).
The Jackalope actually has reasonable burger prices if you’re downtown. Like $5-6 for the basic ones
Fuck they’ve actually created a Nazi Cyberpunk Diner.
The reviews are surprisingly good on Google Maps. For now.
I mean, if you’re enough of a fanboy to still fw Tesla of course you’ll give his shitty diner a good review.
How many do you think he has bought?
For most people that is morally corrupt. Elmo just calls it a good business decision.
God that’s the most boring hamburger I’ve ever seen in my life. I was expecting boring, but that’s really not any more than Wendy’s, if Wendy’s smashed the burgers (for the people who don’t cook, smashing the burgers is not some incredibly expensive secret technique)
Thank you! Got down this far and don’t see anyone mentioning the fact that this menu feels like they just did word salad on a denny’s menu.
You could, I don’t know, google it:
Yalls care too much about billionaires. This is entirely irrelevant to me. Who cares?
Buddy the community is called mildly interesting. As in not very interesting. The point is they don’t really care about it.
