CNN just had a story about a $19 hot dog. It’s 12 ounces and made at the restaurant of Kobe beef. The same restaurant has a $41 Kobe beef hamburger.
IMO, these people are out of control. I don’t care if the cows were beer-fed and massaged. We’re talking about a hot dog, m’kay?
I feel the same way about ridiculously expensive bottles of wine.
It’s just rotten grapes, people.
Once the wine gets above about $40 or so I can no longer tell the difference. But that’s probably because at that point I’m drunk.
Maybe the problem is that it’s called a “hot dog”. If I were selling it for that price, I would call it:
**Saucisse de francfort au boeuf Kobé on a bed of onions sauté, nestled in a baguette doux, enlivened with jus des tomates and an éclair de moutarde Américaine. **
Now $19 sounds quite reasonable.
Cha-ching!
Actually, it’s served on a large bun.
They do recommend eating it with “truffle-infused mustard” though.
Proof that some people have too much cash and need to be separated from it. Luckily, those people are often pretentious enough to think forking over $19 for a brat makes them cool and erudite.
I need to find these people who pay $41 for a hamburger, and $19 for a hot dog. It shouldn’t be that difficult to get them to pay me $15 for the privelige of mowing my lawn, and another $5 to rake it.
They aren’t rotten grapes. Heathen.
So Kobe and Shaq lose their playoff series and you make hot dogs outta him? Cut that guy some slack!
Hey, we don’t tolerate failure on the courts in LA very well. We’d make something out of the Clippers, but we don’t want to get contaminated with any, ah, “illegal substances” they may have consumed recently.
