A true communist would never eat 2 dollars of gold leaf on an over priced stake while a Turkish man makes hand gestures at you like a wizard, he should have bought gotten a prepackaged sandwich at the Tesco and ate it on a bus station bench.
Just googled the price of leaf gold: 100 leafs are around 60 bucks on amazon. Really ripping a hole into Das Kapital.
Honestly, didn't expect it to be that cheap
That's the price of the leafs. The big talentless grifter in that restaurant (Salt Bae - vids of his "cooking" are genuinely disgusting, see this example - that's butter he's pouring all over this abomination) sell each of those golden steak for about 1700€ (~2000 USD). Not that it's relevant here as the twitter thread explains.
Why is his shit so expensive? Because he's a meme?
Literally yes. He's a talentless hack of a restauranteur who can't actually even cook himself. The entire point is that it's a (poorly) curated experience only for wealthy people who want to go somewhere and say "Well, that was different!" rather than caring if it was actually a good experience. You can easily get better food just about anywhere for 1/20th the price.
This is just something "unique" that is also unattainable for the poor, making it exclusive. It's the same novelty as going to a "put chocolate on your hands so u can feel like a baby again" type r/wewantplates pretentious experience, but you also don't have to sit next to the middle class while you're there.
Yeah. And once you have a few million dollars there's literally nothing to spend all your money on except yachts and houses. Someone also pointed out that a 2k price tag keeps the riff raff and press out of the establishment, while still being chump change for rich people. You're paying 1960$ for privacy.
Ugh, now I feel sorry for the guy for eating that steak. It did look a little dry in the picture.
Also, it looks suspiciously like meat. :im-vegan: btw
Gold leaf is so thin you can almost see through it. It's a vanishingly small amount of gold.
A true communist would have cleaned out the bar on the French dime, though.
Eating and drinking as many expensive treats as you can and making the French colonists pay for it is praxis.

2 dollars of gold leaf is so much gold leaf. You can get like a hundred six inch square sheets for ten bucks.
