WITCHCRAFT posted:Yes, things like steak or lobster cost more per pound. You pay even more for them at the restaurant, because you want a person who cooks for a living to prepare your expensive meat the right way. Building a hamburger monstrosity the size of a small dog that took the better part of the day to assemble for $50/lb: how dare they E. I want to make it clear I am making fun of your original focus on the $ per weight of this stupid thing when the obvious point is it's a small dog of mixed and jumbled flavors that I don't understand why it exists. zedprime has a new favorite as of 14:03 on Aug 21, 2020 |

I'm more irritated that those two people clearly weren't even going to eat more than a bite or two of the thing. They weren't even hungry

WITCHCRAFT posted:There is no reason for this to cost $2000. It is big hamburger pizza. It has no special ingredients, they don't have to use a special oven it just barely fits into the regular pizza oven. Congrats on the restaurant for pulling one over on wealthy idiots I guess?? The price is for labor and the fact that the restaurant generally doesn't want to do it a lot. It is absolutely no different from charging a hundred bucks for a burger because you put $5 worth of gold leaf in it. You can charge what you want for your ridiculous big ticket items. It's not like it's price-gouging something that people need. augias posted:Did u know truffle oil is a synthetic flavor discovered at some chemical corporation's RnD department and its just vegetable oil + artificial flavor marked up to hell? The only real stuff would be truffles preserved in oil so buyers be aware. I wonder if there's a way to get the artificial flavoring for cheap if you genuinely want the flavor. Often truffle flavor is just one of those things thrown in to justify jacking up the price for no real reasons. Kinda like how natural diamonds are artificially expensive when really the quality of being a really shiny rock should be the only thing that matters.

I used to be able to get these white truffle potato chips, which did not include any actual truffle flavour in them, just artificial flavouring and generic mushroom extract, but I loved them so much. Limited time offer from a grocery store brand, unfortunately.

I assume the 2000$ pizza burger people have to basically shut down the rest of their kitchen operation to work on that thing too.

Something similar happened with that NYC restaurant that made the watermelon ham that went viral. It's fine if you're only serving one or two a day at most, because it takes 4 days of brining and then it has to cook for the entire day starting in the early morning to be ready by dinner service. Then it goes viral and now every table every day is trying to buy one.

ZombieCrew posted:Not that its an excuse, but they did use Kobe beef for the burger patty. Only to hide it in that pile of garbage. are you pulling my leg why it is cafeteria tier bland food (the reason is that a handful of people will still buy it and they make a profit) SlothfulCobra posted:The price is for labor and the fact that the restaurant generally doesn't want to do it a lot.

It's not like it's price-gouging something that people need. It is not plated with gold leaf. It's hamburger pizza. Yes, a big one. There is no way labor would even cut into a tenth of the actual cost if it was just burger pizza. Now that I know it is made with ground wagyu beef I am no less puzzled, but my blame is shifted entirely onto the consumer why would you pay that much to have someone ruin a pristine pricey piece of meat (the reason is that a handful of people will still buy it and they make a profit)

The rest of the layers are romain lettuce, tomato, onion, ground chunks of meat?, ketchup, mozerella, and slices of american cheese. Nothing gets my appetite goin like hot soggy lettuce.

very AFP post here, but I've heated up so many leftovers over the years that I've actually gotten a taste for cooked lettuce (and sour cream, but not avocado) I'm also someone who likes when nachos get all soggy so I may be an outlier.

It has a superb crunch. Just needs to be with things that have flavors. E: Huh, this uses iceberg. https://thewoksoflife.com/stir-fried-lettuce/ Woks of Life is hit or miss but I'd try this one. Looks similar to basic shredded cabbage stir fries.

There was this weird cooked salad Gordon Ramsey lost his mind over in an early episode of Kitchen Nightmares that somehow became an actual thing several years after the episode came out. e: it's in the post above yours I somehow glossed over.

Brawnfire posted:Who are these psychos that cook lettuce In the kitchen I'm currently working in, the head cook is an older British lady, and invariably the solution to a vegetable being on the turn is to boil it and freeze for later use. It's a charity kitchen and so it's important to make as much use of food as possible. I've never actually seen what happens to the boiled, frozen lettuce mush and I've worked there for about 6 months now. I'm guessing the answer is soup, somehow, but we can't serve soup at the moment because of COVID (bagged lunches) so maybe it will reveal itself in a year or so.

Google brings up recipes for icicle and iceberg pickles and they all sound awful and take multiple days to make with numerous boilings and strainings and food coloring and 1/2 cup of sugar per cucumber.quote:Ingredients: Why?
