    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?

    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.

    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 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.

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

          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.

      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.

    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.

    Is the 1/3 lb burger a reference to that time when people misunderstood fractions?

      Not everything is a reference. I think they are indeed serving a burger that contains 1/3 lb of beef.

      One day very soon she is going to be wrong, but only because that price is too low.
