Okay, hear me out, I have an idea for a mexican restaurant that only sells tortilla chips. We got fancy salsas of course, but no fajitas or burritos or any of that poo poo. Just chips.

jigglemaster7 posted:the toast looked mad thick and had some kind of cream cheese on it, basically the same as ordering a bagle and cream cheese from panera except higher quality. whats the problem? Bagels are more labor intensive to make. You have to boil them before baking to get em right. If you do enough that means you need a big fuckoff special kitchen vat in addition to your big fuckoff oven to make them. So with extra labor and equipment it makes sense to charge more for a bagel than a slice of bread. If it makes you feel better they probably won't charge you five bux to toast your bagel!

Making good bread takes at least 2 hours to make. In the OP vid they say it takes 36. IDGI! Are they cultivating their own artisan yeast? But I would try the $4 toast. Especially if it had a nice piece of fish and schmear on it. But being a professional baker means I can afford it because I'm rolling in dough

Of course I'm talking about reel m inn, I left the name out because it's basically implied. I never went there regularly enough to get name-basis with anybody because I have to walk all the way through ladds and some to get there, don't know if I met Gina or not. I distinctly remember some cola-for-color, basically transparent whiskey cokes about five years ago, an I on the right track here?

That's not exciting either oh hell yeah im not going out for toast either. nobodys going out for toast after the initial novelty. im thinking it isnt an unreasonable item to offer at like an established bakery or coffee shop or something where a different product is the main focus. im all for hating yuppies but i genuinely dont understand why people care about this.

The local hole in the wall place near me sells a meat cheese and egg breakfast bagel for $3. I think maybe you guys are the ones that need to get out a bit more. e: Also bagels have to be boiled before they are baked so there's an extra step compared to bread, plus bagel shops have like 12-15 different kinds to choose from. And cheese is an expensive ingredient. Only in CA would people pay $4 for buttered toast and then vehemently defend it. Roylicious fucked around with this message at 18:37 on Sep 19, 2016 |

sudonim posted:If there's any real annoyance here I think its that there's motherfuckers in SF stupid enough to pay 4, 5 or even 6 bux (seriously check out the menu) for goddamn toast. The proprietor is making some nice loot at their expense. This is the real issue. People with no concept of the actual value of money saying "yup sure" when offered these outrageous prices. It drives up the prices for the rest of us. It's what drives up the housing market like a bad sketch comedy bit where a guy bids against himself in an auction. I think the more  thing on that menu is $20 for a 12 oz cup of "gourmet" coffee.
