The restaurant in Ferris Bueller’s Day Off was Chez Quis.

I was in Iceland at “The Chuck Norris Grill”.
It’s essentially a bar, with bar food.
I got a cheeseburger with fries.
I did the conversion...$42 for a cheeseburger at a bar.
SF and Hawaii have nothing on Reykjavik.

$4.95.

I’m frankly not sure what point this guy is trying to make.

So there’s an expensive restaurant that serves a comically overpriced hamburger. This is not new.

What is relatively new is the smell of feces and urine and general decay that permeates the entire city. That might be a bigger existential problem than a snooty restaurant, which SF has had for centuries.

The burger’s OK but a cone of fries will cost you twenty buckaroos. It’s the truffles that make them expensive. My local MickeyD’s offered to put some fungus on my fries for free but I turned them down...

CUSTOMER: This burger tastes like Sh*t!

WAITSTAFF: Sir, this IS San Francisco. We have to work with what we have, and we have lots of that. And it IS near at hand, too.

“It disheartens me that corporate and tech money is winning.” So crime and feces is less of a concern to him?

You don’t walk into a restaurant in SF and expect to pay any less…unless it’s Macdonalds
