I live in DTLA now. I just spent less than $15 on a burger and a blueberry cider at Glory Burgers.

I swear people have terrible financial skills.

    because that's not a restaurant, it's fast food.

    Pretty sure it's a restaurant. But I guess it depends on your definition. And also, most fast food won't take 10+ minutes between when you order and when you receive your freshly cooked food, while letting you sit at their al fresco tables drinking a cider enjoying the nighttime weather.

    People are bad with their money.

    Soooo you're comparing a burger and beer place to somewhere you'd get appetizers at.

    I'm not talking about influencer type places to hang out at like Sur, I'm talking like fucking Wood Ranch, dude.

    Chain restaurant, a steak, an appetizer, and 2 beers is like 75 bucks, man. For a fucking chain restaurant.
