Good hot dogs (and it was only a food truck for a year while they expanded their restaurant location) can be found at an establishment in Houston (that has no webpage other than facebook, but plenty of hipster attitude about those complaining about the service, prices, wait times upwards of an hour, etc.). They are made from duck, rabbit, bison, hog, lamb, etc.

When they reopened the price went up about a buck fifty.

$7 hot dogs are a premium pricing. What was good at $5.50 doesn’t offer the same enjoyment at $7 (when it takes 2 to fill up). I can go to a real restaurant for $14 a meal.

Economics 101 teaches this. As price increases, demand declines (even among those who love the product).

This article was aimed at marketeers with the implication that “hip” (their word) millenials are not as affected by price hikes. They buy into branding.

The Democrats push this same thinking. Pay more (for healthcare, taxes, etc.) get less and LOVE the Party for it.

I am out of my element.

I’m talking about food, and the unique flavors some of the local food trucks are putting out there. I find the value they provide good and the quality even better. Especially given the lack of frequency at which I am able to eat at them.

You are talking about hipsters, economics, and Democrats. They don’t serve them at the food trucks I go to.
