Reminds me of something they do at Vegas pool parties where people pay thousands so they can get sprayed down with champagne bottles by waitresses. You have to be such an abhorrent person to choose to piss away money on something like that.

I’m wondering if he got away with this shit in New York, cuz I don’t see this place surviving down here

Gotta buy some gold leaf online for under 10$ and glam up those tacos!

The NY financial sector bonus and expense accounts must help fill his place in NYC. In LA that’s going to be harder to do… I agree with you and am curious to see how it plays out

Oh, no, anything else from Jack!!! Tried the tacos once a few yrs ago, and, while they were a guilty pleasure, I would’ve been fine w/, like, half of one. And I like grease.

We/eater LA are clearly not their target audience. It’s the people who go to Catch, Tao, etc and those places are still filled to the brim.

The place is packed with a huge crowd every night, just drive by it and yo’ll see the amount of people waiting outside - and there’s not a single reservation available up to their July availability. The location is perfect for the clientele that would go.

I saw a friend (of my spouse’s) went to this joint over the weekend for Mother’s Day. I promptly turned around and told my spouse that he’s not allowed to make any plans for us to go here ever.

The photo of the wedge salad - for $30 - drowned in ā€œroasted garlic mayo dressingā€ is rather off-putting.

ETA: the vagueness of the ā€œMeat Sushi Rollā€ is puzzling.

And I so very much want to edit this disclaimer:

So … I have managed to live my life without ever seeing a video of Salt Bae, until now. I am without words and kinda wish I hadn’t watched that.
