As an aside, that steak looks tough and overcooked, doesn’t it?
Anyone shocked at this news?
NO, REALLY?
It only happens EVERY TIME you hike the minimum wage for your socialist schemes.
But THIS time would be different because the right people were in charge, RIGHT?!

In cook terms, grey-ish.
I am not a cook but I am a NUT for cooking shows like Chopped, Top Chef, etc. And of course the greatest competition show ever, Cutthroat Kitchen.
I don’t know why I love them. I think it is the depth of knowledge of how so many complex things work together to create a new something.
And I have been able to apply some of what I learned. My knife skills are pretty impressive just from “follow the leader.”
LOL
The cost of labor is about 25% of the cost of eating out, not counting the tip. So if the 25% labor increases 15% then the OVERALL cost of dining out goes up 3.75% ( = .15 x .25 ). Wow we are all going to die!!! I had to pay 4 cents more per dollar spent!!! OUTRAGEOUS!!! /sarc
Not good news when it puts their employers out of business, and them out of a job.
Bet the New York commies didn't think of that, did they?
For a business to stay in business all expenses must be passed on to the customer including the government’s and other criminals take.
But, but... leftards feel so good inside after passing minimum wage laws. Isn’t that all that matters?
Have to wonder if these “minimum wage” dictates affect events. Last night there was a huge fire that destroyed a huge paper recycling plant in New Jersey. This plant employed hundreds of low paid, immigrant mill workers who were very loyal, good workers who were gratified to receive a regular paycheck. Today the minimum wage in NJ rose to $15/hour. Now the mill no longer exists. May have been time to collect the insurance and sell the land.
It is New York, if you want it to taste good and be edible that is going to COST you.
Mrs. Chandler loves to watch cooking shows. When we were first married her specialty was Kraft Macaroni and Cheese with hot dogs. Now her skills are off the charts. When I have a question about cooking I turn to her first.
It’s a ratchet with no reverse. Raise labor cost, product costs rise, labor is back where it started from or worse, unemployed.
No surprise here. I can well remember, back in the 1970 and 1980s, when I was stationed in Germany, that every time we got a pay raise, the PX and commissary both raised their prices the exact amount of the pay raise that the fools in Congress gave us. Every year, every time, they went up. I assume they still do.
And unseasoned.
Tipping will go way down to compensate.

They are really good on those shows of explaining what it what. It is an “inside baseball” sort of thing. Like NEVER rinse your pasta. I never knew that before watching those shows.
Oh one of the biggest lessons: No matter how avante garde you think of yourself as a chef, watermelon and goat cheese do NOT go together.
Lesson learned since that was indeed my plan.
