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.

The kids grilled cheese (which is literally just bread and American cheese) is also $13

[–] spongebue@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

The adult grilled cheese is cheaper!

Obviously the "just price everything at what we think people will pay" strategy.

Same.
The prices seem reasonable albeit still a tad too expensive (my limit is 10€ for street food unless it's something special).

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.

[–] 11111one11111@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

Its a diner menu. He opened a Friendly's. The menu is standard diner options. Prices are also standard market prices.

[–] kogasa@programming.dev 54 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (7 children)

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

[–] MyTurtleSwimsUpsideDown@fedia.io 17 points 5 days ago (2 children)

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

Why they fuck would you take one of the most expensive sources of beef (Wagyu) and make chili out of it?

[–] HasturInYellow@lemmy.world 28 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Because it sounds nice? Literally, zero chance that is actually wagyu. It would be inedible due to the fat.

[–] BussyCat@lemmy.world 16 points 5 days ago (4 children)

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

"Excuse me waiter, from which minority do you source these meats?"

[–] Carrolade@lemmy.world 18 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Surprisingly reasonable for a slightly upscale LA joint. Only issue is ... who the fuck in their right mind would waste actual Wagyu beef in some chili? You can put almost any beef in chili, nobody will notice because it's fully submersed in a stew that tastes like chili. So why use the most expensive beef on the planet for it? Unless it's just fake Wagyu, which tbf, I guess it probably is at that price point. Still a dumb marketing gimmick to anyone that knows anything about beef.

[–] comador@lemmy.world 9 points 5 days ago (4 children)

Restaurants, industry wide have done what Weinerschnitzel has done for decades:

Take the unused/unpurchased cooked meats and put them into a container in the refrigerator. The next day, grind them up and put them in those stews and chillis.

It saves money actually.

Insipid menu.

Not a lot of things here I don't already make at home.

Making chili out of premium beef seems a waste.

Anyone with 2 kids would buy an adult burger and fries and split it between the kids.

[–] PP_BOY_@lemmy.world 22 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Making chili out of premium beef seems a waste.

Indeed. 99% of the point of chili is that you can use the lowest grade stuff and it doesn't matter because it just cooks down and gets loaded with spices. Not that I would expect a multicentibillionaire to care about food economy

[–] crunchy@lemmy.dbzer0.com 15 points 6 days ago (1 children)

It still most likely is the lowest grade stuff, just with bits of leftover Wagyu tossed in just so they can call it Wagyu chili.

"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

It's weird seeing so many people defending these prices. Their arguments are all I'm getting scammed like this at other places so therefore it's not a scam here. Y'all paying $14 for a Smashburger with no sides y'all getting fucking scammed and shouldn't be paying for it anywhere.

[–] JasSmith@sh.itjust.works 8 points 5 days ago

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.
