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
