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”.
