The general pricing thing with the bacon is an extreme version of what all restaurants do to a point, but they went too far and made it obvious. Drinks are always a huge huge margin, especially if its not booze, fries and bread are like maybe a bit over a quarter in food cost per portion. You use the high value stuff to bring em in so they buy the low value stuff for a lot while you got em. But you gotta balance it right so you don't give the game away so blatantly.
Im trying to go meat eater brain regarding that chilli, if I recall waygu beef has a really high fat content. That is gonna split so hard in tomato sauce that it may even float to the top and harden overnight in the fridge. There is a reason even top tier places don't grind up prime cuts to make s burger, its fucking pointless or detrimental to the final product.

I get that markups exist and the whole menu is an ecosystem of interacting costs (gotta make the money to pay the people who add value via labor), but this menu is priced in a batshit manner.
And your meat-brain attempt is spot on, everything I searched to make sure I wasn’t showing my ass indicated chili is best at an 80/20 ratio. Wagyu starts above that and is typically closer to 30.
Thars what i was saying. Theyre giving the game away and making it too obvious.
And bwef wise, if theyre holding it at serving temp its gonna be like 3 inches of fat with chilli underneath
Thanks for the follow-up, I got too deep in trying to figure out how a quarter of the carb cost made sense to see the point that it’s not meant to make sense it’s to obfuscate the various mark-ups so the customer is cool with it… I think, if I’m getting it now at least.
Maybe they realize they don’t need to? A cyber-uck that realizes the inflated price probably has the money and chalks it off to “the mega-screen amenity surcharge”, the “charging station premium”, and/or the “retro-futurist diner experience”.
