A ride to a less shitty restaurant.

>>7519755
Tfw I haven't seen those kinds of prices for over a decade.

>>7519755
>prices exclude tax
dropped

>>7519755
Are you sure you're not a time traveler from the 1990's?

Double cheeseburger, large zippyfries. Cheap as fuck so you might as well eat big.

>>7519755
Pancakes with coffee and a quart of Rice pudding.
That has a nicer menu than most shitty diners in the town centre

Also what is the meat side order?

In what alternate universe do you live in where the breakfast items cost more than lunch/dinner?

At those prices I'd get a world famous hot dog, a couple deluxe zippyburgers, and a large zippy fries, and just take home whatever I couldn't finish for the same price as a happy meal.

>>7519774

>what is the meat side order

Presumably means a side order of either ham, sausage, or bacon...

>>7519782
That makes sense. Still, the idea of a mystery meat side order amuses me.

Famous Lunch in Troy.

how many RPI studs have you banged, OP, you slut.

>two eggs scrambled
>rye toast
>extra cooked sausage
>slice pie

>and a 5 mile jog

>>7519755

Found it. Zippy Burger.

571 Melville Ave, University City, MO 63130

En route to grape OP. I'll just target most obese person in restaurant.

>>7519755
I got a ride out of the 1990s.
>>7519779
The breakfast items are a meal and come with a drink and sometimes a side whereas the lunch and dinner items do not.

>>7519822
Tell that to the fat guy I just raped. The deed is done.

>>7519755
There used to be joint like this in Lodi, NJ. The burgers weren't half bad, I'll take 2 hamburgers.

>>7519832

Don't dis Borneo's favorite childhood food without trying it.

>>7519832
Hey, don't talk shit about hotdogs and eggs. motherfucking breakfast/lunch/dinner of champions right there.

>>7519822
OP is scared as fuck

Two breakfast sandwiches w/ egg, both with cheese, one with sausage and other with bacon

>>7519755
Well since the price is cheap, ... double cheeseburger with bacon and a fried egg or a BLT chicken sandwich. dunno what zippyfries are I guess i'll try it. Slice of pie for dessert. Oh and its to go.

>>7519755
I'd get a world famous hotdog. It must be pretty good to be so famous.

>>7519762
>le hot new see kay may may

Hot ham and cheese with a medium coffee.

>>7519755

Glitch in Matrix?

>>7519793
>>7519844
actually, >>7519786 is right.

>>7519755
for breakfast i'd get a sausage and bacon sandwich or meat and cheese omelette with homefries

for lunch i'd get a chicken sandwich and fries

for dinner i'd probably get a double cheeseburger and zippyfries

>vegetarian omelette
>side meat
>quart of rice pudding

>>7519755
Those prices look like NYC mid '80s diner level, wtf you trying to pull here? Do you notice anything funny with the staff maybe? Like the grill man has his ankle chained up somewhere behind the counter and the wait staff look defeated or like they're wearing or tagged in the ankle with some tracking device and what not?

>>7519786

I used to drive across the country and plan out where I was sleeping each night. Troy seemed like a logical option a few times, but then I looked it up and it sounded like a fucking ghetto I wouldn't want to spend 6 hours at in a cheap motel with all my shit parked outside.

>>7519755
>World Famous Hot Dog
>60¢

Western omelette. Jesus christ those prices are fucking fantastic. I would kill to find somewhere around me with those prices. That's literally 1/2 the price of IHOP and all of those other breakfast chains. Even WaHo seems to be more expensive after a meal than it used to be.

>>7520085
Been doing this for the past year. Been on the road a while. It's amazing how many shit towns are in random, bumfuck areas of the country. TripAdvisor is a godsend. When I'm getting tired and want a place to crash, I just look up hotels near by. If they all seem like total shitholes, I just drive to the nearest national forest and camp. You can usually find decent places within an hour of you anywhere in the country though. Except maybe way the fuck out in nowhere TX or Montana or something. Even then I usually had good luck. Just stopped my traveling... I've gotta get back to a normal, adult life unfortunately. But, brand new state and city so it should be fun.

>>7520043
Enjoying Shirley Ann fucking you in the ass?

Western breakfast sandwich with a side of home fries.

>>7520128

She's fucked me plenty but if you knew what she had planned for the next decade you'd understand why I'm happy that my ass only has a few fissures.:^)

Unless there's a revolution I don't think this place will exist in 20 years.

>>7520082

Honestly, I don't know how they do it either. As best as I can figure, they have a legion of blue collar customers from the area. The place could make a killing catering to drunks, as it's within 5 blocks of a couple good bars in a college town, but they close at 10 pm. I assume they've had some bad experiences.

>>7520152
Well fuck us then, huh? I wonder how much our degrees will be worth when that happens.

The right answer to your question from the start is a stack of hot dogs with the sauce and then drive up the hill to Muza's. You'll have to shell out more, but it's worth it. I miss that place a bunch and I request to go there when I drive up to see friends. Also good is the Flying Chicken. The Brown Bag can go fuck itself.

Enjoy Troy while you can. I lived in a bunch of places after I graduated, but I still miss Troy a little. The Farmer's Market was always a pick me up.

No need to jog after you eat. With those prices, the tapeworm will help you work off those extra calories in no time.

>>7519755
Ham and cheese breakfast sandwich (assuming it's toasted), and a cup of tea.

Or just tea and toast.

>>7519755

They're mini-dogs.

What's a Western Omelette supposed to be?

>>7522041
probably cheese+peppers

>>7522041

ham, bell pepper and onion all cut to the same small dice

>>7522048
>>7522056
Sounds good enough. I'd take that as a breakfast with tea instead of coffee.

>>7522056

that's a denver omelet

>>7522077
>denver omelet

>>7519755

How the fuck does this place stay in business?

>>7522079

oh you're an idiot

my mistake.

>>7522077
It's two names for the same thing.

>>7522092

100 yr lease for ultra cheap rent, cost control, and volume.

do the math. even buying retail groceries, 2 eggs, 2 slice of toast with butter and coffee is about $0.45. They get volume discounts which push the capex for that cover down to probably $0.30

they charge $2.25 for it and it probably takes around 1-2 minutes actual labor to produce. If base costs(real estate, power, water, sewer) are low, they clean up. Maybe not get rich, but enough to be solidly middle class.

this is how all immigrant restaurants function, it's capitalism 101. the fuck ups and flame outs happen when the base costs are too high and the margins aren't there.

I'll bet money this place closes when a)the original lease is up b)the elders die and the youngers try to up the take c)the city or state fucks them on utility costs somehow

Chicken sandwich, coffee, and a doughnut for dessert.

>>7519762
no tax on food, at least in Maryland. Dunno where OP is.

>>7520043

Whaaaat the fuuuuuuuck?

Honestly, it all looks awful.

>>7523756
Bravo. You're ready for your McKinsey interview.

>>7523783
This.

>>7523772

they are mini dogs, you can eat them in one bite, it's a regional thing brah

>not getting the world famous hot dog

>>7523783
>>7523786

I don't understand the reference.

>>7523796
>>7523783
Hear that? He doesn't even understand the reference.

>>7523796
Google "McKinsey interview"

I would order 2 muffins and home fries

>>7523803
>>7523796
Google it. You'll get it then.

>>7523801
>McKinsey interview
>a company unrelated to food
>>7523803
>>7523806

I still don't understand the reference. This is basic restaurant math, if you can't understand this, you should not be a businessperson.

>>7523812
It's just a basic test to determine whether your AI is communist.

>>7523812
Like many nitwits you are fucking uppity. The point is that your original post demonstrated the types of answers that would get you hired at a top consulting firm. Too bad about your subsequent posts...

>>7523815
>>7523817
This.

Breakfast Special #4 with bacon.

MAXIMUM COMFY

>>7519755
yeah i will have the french toast w homefries and a cheese omelette

>>7523765

Do you even understand what tax is you retard?

>>7519755
>Is the full menu available all day? Gimme French toast ... with sausage for the side ... and, uhhhhhhhh ... a grilled cheese sandwich.

>>7523828
Yeah. There's still no sales tax on food in Maryland. If you go to a restaurant and the menu says 3.99, you pay 3.99 and not a penny more.

>>7523817

>Doing retard level math gets you hired at a top consulting firm

>>7519755
two whole fried chickens, and a coke

>>7523847
>implying no tip

>>7523850
And what method would you use to eat said chickens?

>>7523850
and some dry white toast

>>7523847

>>7523815
>>7523817
>>7523821


If you cannot understand what i posted you should ask for clarification, but it is elemental math, and you should not be involved in the food industry if anything i wrote seems opaque.

i still do not understand the reference at all, McKinsey appears to be an IT staffing firm, nothing to do with food. My post was specifically about food and food costs in reply to someone that wondered how it could be so cheap at this restaurant.

>>7523863
/thread

what's the difference between standard burgers/fries and their zippy variants?

>>7519755
I'd get two hotdogs, two double cheeseburgers, a chicken sandwich, two orders of chips, two slices of pie and a jumbo chocolate milk

>>7519755
i'll have the #4 pancakes with bacon and coffee and #3 two eggs, with sausage and toast & coffee

>>7523869
