Culture is retarded and hypocritical in many ways, it isn't limited to food. The great thing is that you can accept or decline any social norm and, for example, just order whatever you like at a restaurant. In case anyone calls you out on that, tell them exactly what you just typed, in a friendly and non-condescending manner. Chances are you'll broaden people's horizons instead of snubbing them.

GUY FIERI HERE! Today we muff dive a shit hole thread created by OP. MEANWHILE, we contemplate why a cupcake costs less than a steak cut from an animal that took years to harvest, thousands of dollars to feed over several years and hundreds of dollars to transport while refrigerated.

More after the break on tripple D.

if you consider supply and demand of the example foods in your post, then the reasons why a steak would cost more and be more revered than a spag bol make more sense.

I recently bought a PSMO and trimmed it down with the intent of cutting some filets. Once I had the chain, silver skin, and fat off of the loin, I only was able to cut about 4 steaks. Think about that: with 2 tenderloins per cow, that means the cow I was cutting from only yielded 8 petit filets. That same cow probably produced an order of magnitude more ground beef by weight than it did high-quality steaks (T-bones & ribeyes) that people typically order at a restaurant.

Then you consider how readily available and cheap flour, eggs, oil, and produce are, and it becomes clear that the cost of the spag bol for the restaurant, even one where everything is made by hand, is well below the cost of securing quality, high-demand, low-supply cuts of meat. And if the restaurant (or purveyor) is aging that meat to enhance flavor, that will drive the cost up even more.

tl;dr even though spag bol takes more skill and labor to produce by hand, good steaks are low-supply, high-demand, making them more expensive and revered. That's Capitalism, baby!

In a way I kind of wish I was him. Not because of his tv show and money but because how oblivious he is to reality. He's like an adult 5 year old, doesn't realize how stupid he sounds and looks and is always laughing and stuffing his pudgy face. I don't want to know what horrors go on in his mind though.

The one on Carnival cruise ships is complete shit, but then most cruise ship food is dumpster worthy.

It's just a "make it yourself" burger joint.
