This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

"Yo that's $13 for a hot dog" - Macklemore
I'm confused on why the burger is only 50¢ more than the hot dog.
Go look at a picture of the burger. Enlightenment will follow
Tesla Burger and Epic Bacon. Very cool, Elon...
He really has the naming skills of an 8 year old.

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 kids grilled cheese (which is literally just bread and American cheese) is also $13
Obviously the "just price everything at what we think people will pay" strategy.

Why they fuck would you take one of the most expensive sources of beef (Wagyu) and make chili out of it?
Because it sounds nice? Literally, zero chance that is actually wagyu. It would be inedible due to the fat.
Wagyu is still just a type of cow and if you aren’t eating expensive graded cuts it’s not that much more expensive than angus. It’s still pointless to eat in a chili as the whole advantage of it is the marbling
I suppose you are correct. I took it to mean wagyu steak. They could just use the scraps from trimming the steaks they give to worthy people.

It's likely American "wagyu" - i.e. unregulated "premium" beef
Yalls care too much about billionaires. This is entirely irrelevant to me. Who cares?
Buddy the community is called mildly interesting. As in not very interesting. The point is they don't really care about it.
The Boring Restaurant
Insipid menu.
Not a lot of things here I don't already make at home.
Making chili out of premium beef seems a waste.
Anyone with 2 kids would buy an adult burger and fries and split it between the kids.
Making chili out of premium beef seems a waste.
Indeed. 99% of the point of chili is that you can use the lowest grade stuff and it doesn't matter because it just cooks down and gets loaded with spices. Not that I would expect a multicentibillionaire to care about food economy
It still most likely is the lowest grade stuff, just with bits of leftover Wagyu tossed in just so they can call it Wagyu chili.

Remarkably unremarkable
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.

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?
And of course he's got Martin's on there. Fucking TACO lackey BS.

Sigh. I had a sinking feeling when it kept mentioning them. Another thing to go on the list to avoid buying
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.
I'm seeing the parking lot as a cybertruck meetup, lol
Might be why he’s doing it. Those sad acts would go for this.
They should be fucking arrested for wasting Wagyu beef in a chili.
Why is the kid's grilled cheese $4 more than the adult one? Just because they cut the crust?
Served with a side of fries
Maybe?
Da fuck is New School American Cheese?
Neoliberal cheese. It takes all the milk from the cow and leaves nothing left.
Makes you wonder if the ovens will explode like his cars and rockets
You have to be dumber than a bag of rocks to be a fanboy of a corporate douche. They're mostly tolerable at best.
"Excuse me waiter, from which minority do you source these meats?"
"all day breakfast" do you see that McDonald's? Donyou see it? That's how to do it.
I don't know what's wrong with the McDonald's breakfast procedure, but McMuffins apparently takes a lot of time. I ordered 8 one time, to feed the family, and the teen went seriously? I can only make 4 at a time, so it's going to take a while

How long till it burns down?
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.
