I'm certainly no restaurateur, but when you purchase a burger at a restaurant the cost goes far beyond hamburger meat. You're paying for the bun, ground beef, cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion, condiments, fries, side pickle, the host/hostess who sat you, the waiter/waitress who brought it to you, the cook who prepared it, the bus boy who took it away, and the dishwasher who cleaned it up. Businesses also have to keep the lights on, pay workers comp, pay insurance, pay taxes, heat the building, maintain their equipment, along with numerous other expenses, plus have to make a profit to make it all worth while. To say that a restaurant shouldn't charge $16 for a burger because hamburger meat isn't that expensive is oversimplifying the issue to the highest degree.

The Village Kitchen must have all those requirements to run their restaurant and they only charge $6.75 for a delicious burger.
I guess most people who go to these high priced restaurants don't look at the cost anyway.

I am gonna HATE myself for jumping into this mess …….. but was it perhaps a KOBE or Piedmont burger ?


In any event, we'll give it a week or two to work out the kinks and then go by and check it out on (a soon to come) Friday evening ….. keep ya'll informed.

I have a hard time justifying the use of either of those in a burger other than when salvaging the leftovers from dressing a loin. KOBE is sought after because it's extremely tender as a steak. Hamburger can be delicious and tender when tougher meat is ground up and mixed with the right amount of fat.

So far, 42 posts on a thread devoted to a newly opened restaurant, and not one actual review. We've been waiting for a year. Time for somebody (local) to actually eat there and let us know.

I noticed the same thing wvhich is why I started a new thread with their actual name. This one obviously has moved toward the burger.

Jeez, if everyone started a new thread about the same subject because they didn't like the way it was going there would be double the amount of threads in this forum. Most thread subjects go off on a tangent, it just seems to go that way.
The new thread won't be any different.

Be that as it may, I actually started a new thread to give the restaurant a fair chance to establish one with their actual name.
