It's not going to matter if he's not making a profit on each sales as he's still got overheads to cover. He just needs to price the foods reasonably so he can still make a decent profit while keeping it relatively cheap. The way he's talking and also what he said his mom said, his foods are way too cheap.
@@AhzurrTheRapper If you're not making money, then your business isn't going to last as it's that simple. There's a fine line between being too cheap and way overpriced and he needs to find that balance. I sell my products for what it's worth I'm not undervaluing or trying to inflate prices. If it's worth $300, I'm selling it for $300, nothing more, nothing less. My family also runs several businesses and a friend of mine has over 600 employees working for him.
This place is SO GREAT. The owner seen here is the nicest dude, has hosted my band from out of state twice to play shows, (yeah they have a big stage in the back), has some of the BEST fried chicken of my entire life, and he’s a great drummer of another band too!!
The owners acting like charging $20 for that is doing his customers a favor is what’s wrong with the restaurant industry. That’s a basic flank steak with a reduced sauce over a handful of fries. Be better guys.
@HumbIee probably, but I don't think so, if you've worked in the industry, especially BoH that is someone who cares about the cooks, just look at the craft
@@alebsol yes I have worked in the industry and let me tell you, BoH/FoH staff curses the customers to hell. Only managers or new restaurants would talk like this. New restaurants also pay/give free food to influencers. They also pay teams of commenters to game the algorithm.
I think the opposite tbh. He was asked by his mum when was the last time he made any money and he then said that line. If your business isn't making any money and you're not bothered by it - that means you actually don't care about your business - because if you did, you would be concerned about how much money you're bringing in.
I love this because good chefs deserve to be in the spotlight. When we want to be because truly great chefs choose to go where there is no money and serve those in need and it looks like These guys are straight fire chefs and deserve all the love and attention they get😊 ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Steak frites with peppercorn sauce goes so hard when done right. I love that they didnt dress it up too much. I see that dish plated gormet style and it just seems wrong
I don’t like the look of that sauce , it’s got that corn starch sheen to it, it’s just sloppy presentation , the meat to me looked like it could be rubbery , the grain of beef doesn’t look rested or aged 😂
So blessed to work here with Sam, first bar/restaurant job i’ve ever had where I’m genuinely excited to go to work every single shift. Tuna is ok too i guess
Genuinely kind and caring people like the owner are a rare breed these days. The food looks delicious and I wish this place much success. Would’ve loved to go if I still lived in NY
I love the places you go to. It always about the community or the people they work with rather than the money. You can tell they mean it and love what they do

I used to work at a place just like this, dude was the best boss/person ive met. I still have no clue how he made profit most days. He was way older and unfortunately passed away, that place had the best food and thats not biased, he just had a magic touch. Miss that place every day

These are the places and people I WANT to support. It's not about stars, or tire buying guides telling you where's a good place to eat. It's absolutely about good people making good, FRESH, creative dishes that make you think, "oh I can't wait to see what they'll come up with next," once you're eaten one of the most satisfying meals of your life. That's where I WANT to spend my money.

Is 20$ really cheap for a medium to small portion of beef with fries and peppercorn sauce in the US? Legit question, cuz in France it would be a 300g steak and much more fries than this for the same price, so I'm just wondering.
That’s the kind of restaurant we need more of. People who are doing it for the love of making something and spreading joy to their community. It’s not about turning a profit it’s about being content in life. I do hope they aren’t struggling though. It’s one thing to be making enough to pay everyone and not expand… it’s another to be scraping by.
Holy shit that looks amazing and it really reflects in the owner. That man does it for the love of food and for the happiness it brings to people and that’s why his restaurant is still open and why his food looks so good
I was raised on Belgian frites with freshly made mayo and my good friend in Belgium owns a Friture for 45 years. We would have frites with des moules,steak or sausages. Looks so tasty!
That looks fucking delicious, and I love how you pin the addresses of all these restaurants on your page so people can visit if in the area. A lot of RUclipsrs do this 100% for the experience of eating good food and likes, and don’t even bother to drop the location of a place.
