Truly the American way.
“Yo that’s $13 for a hot dog” - Macklemore
I’m confused on why the burger is only 50¢ more than the hot dog.
Go look at a picture of the burger. Enlightenment will follow
Tesla Burger and Epic Bacon. Very cool, Elon…
He really has the naming skills of an 8 year old.
Re𝕏taurant
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
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 adult grilled cheese is cheaper!
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 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.
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
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.
The Boring Restaurant
Remarkably unremarkable
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.
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.
They’re not serving Wagyu anywhere else on their menu, that I recall seeing anyway.
Which means that Chill and probably half that menu is catered by some Restaurant group daily.
Ghost kitchen.
Wendy’s uses grill scrapings and unsold patties in their chili. And it is the bomb!
He still doesn’t understand who his base is…
No one who wants organic food or can pay those prices likes Musk still
Does he even have a base anymore? Who hasn’t he pissed off?
And of course he’s got Martin’s on there. Fucking TACO lackey BS.

Sigh. I had a sinking feeling when it kept mentioning them. Another thing to go on the list to avoid buying
I’m seeing the parking lot as a cybertruck meetup, lol
Might be why he’s doing it. Those sad acts would go for this.
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.
4 strips of bacon for $12 is the really crazy one to me idk. It’s also weird asf that the burger doesn’t come with fries but the kids burger does.
He really doesn’t hire graphic designers, does he?
Even Grok could have done better than that.
Da fuck is New School American Cheese?
Neoliberal cheese. It takes all the milk from the cow and leaves nothing left.
