The restaurant industry is the "new" Dot.com enterprise in the U.S. Fast
food is everywhere and on every block. Santa Barbara has $90 burgers. Las
Vegas $2.99 buffets are long gone in favor of popular chef's and expensive
dining. I about fell out of my chair at a local restaurant when I saw some
beef dinner for $139 (served 4 people though) printed first on their menu.
Then you have some remote "French Laundry" in Yountville, CA that charges a
flat rate of about $250 per person for lunch or dinner (less drinks).

And I thought $5 for a cup of coffee was bad. Even $1.50 for a bottle of
water seemed insane. Now we have $40 "Designer Water" in a bottle.

Aside, I recall McDonald's 15 cent hamburgers and 19 cent cheeseburgers when
they first started. I didn't notice that many overweight people back then
in the 60's when they began to branch out. However, when the Mexican fast
food entered the scene, it seemed American's weight began to climb. The guy
that weighed over 1250 pounds (he's since lost 750 pounds) in Mexico City
made me wonder if Mexican food is more fattening overall than either Chinese
or American FF (i.e. burgers and/or sandwiches).

If I had the money to burn I would buy that burger. Personally I like
mine on a toasted bagel.

"If," being the key word. Probelm is that you are nothing more than a
peasent. Maybe one day you will get to make the burger.

You are probably correct but if that day did come that I would make the
burger for someone who can afford it I would be doing doing so with
pride, much opposite of those who are full of class envy. You know
what they would be doing to that burger...

I think that would depend how much you were being paid to appease the rich.
You see, there is respect and dignity, and then there is straight up brown
nosing.

I don't mind there being someone who can afford or would buy a 175 dollar
burger. I do think the guy making it should recieve a reasonable and
respectable wage.

if I had money to burn I wouldn't spend it on food...I'd rather use it to
light a big Bambu =8-)
