1st point: How does “popup” imply “cheap street food”? Quite the opposite in the Mission – for one thing, “popup” doesn’t happen on the street, it happens in established restaurants that want to create an advantageous “buzz” by doing something a little different. The permit process is way too expensive for “popup” street carts to make a real impression in the Mission dining scene.

2nd point: Yes! Please! Quit whining, people! If you’re too lazy to learn how to cook something simple for your friends, then shut up and pay the bill for someone else to cook for you and your friends. UMC people are pretty much everywhere in America, including here, and they can afford to pay for what they want to eat, and all your complaining just makes you kids look silly and ignorant about the facts of life.

And, BTW, I retract my comment up above this — go to it, if you can afford it! I’ve seen at least one dude involved with Commonwealth drive a motherfucking Lotus out of their parking lot several times.

It’s all about the money here on MoneyMoney

At $80/each, “underground restaurant” seems like a more appropriate label than “popup” (which implies cheap street food, IMHO). For an 8-course meal, that seems comparable to other underground restaurants in SF.

But can we declare a moratorium on MM comments complaining about the price of food? No one’s forcing you to go out to eat. If you want to save money, go to the farmer’s market/Safeway and cook up your own vegetarian eats, or stop at one of 800 taquerias around here that serve amazing burritos for cheap. If you want to spend $15 on a Mission Bowling burger, do it. Places selling food that’s priced higher than people are willing to pay will go out of business or rethink their pricing. Whining about it here doesn’t affect much.

They use other people’s places and the staff are volunteers.

operating a small food business is expensive (especially in san francisco) and extremely labor-intensive. $80 is a fair price for this kind of meal.

don’t walk around with your “local food” tote bag and then talk shit when a food business is actually making it.

Are these 8 courses on tiny plates? I’m guessing that that’s what people are assuming. Because most people wouldn’t even be able to finish 8 courses on normal plates. And $80 is a lot for a meal you can’t finish — especially if you have to bring your own drink.

$80/head for a dinner sounds like a lot, but when have any of you paid that LITTLE for an 8-course meal? Doesn’t seem that unreasonable.

Are you seriously posting an eighty dollar/person popup? Wow, this has got to be some kind of douche fest. This is sad, ridiculous and outrageous. How about posting about a reasonably priced popup, instead of being a douche bag?
