Batali you fat cunt. Being Italian you should know that if someone throws hot Risotto on you, you quickly begin to kick the living shit out of them.

Mario Batali is a miserable wretch.

@alin1975 Lol, genius you have Alin1975 as your sign. Humm, I am a guessing that is the year you were born. Just so you know, there are other people older than you in this world haha. If I was born before 1975 doesn't that make me older than you? I want you to think about that one lol Now lets focus and get back on point. Are there people willing to pay $100 for a simple McDs meal? Now think about this question. Do people in Russia save all year to eat one meal at McDs? This is a test.

I think you are confusing accounts. You were older than me on the other two :P

I looked up TGI (we dont have them here), and I saw a menu with items from 6 - 16$. Are you kidding me with "high prices"? Its even defined as "casual dining". Why can you not comprehend that there are multiple driving forces in the consumer purchase decision?

Now let me ask you this, how much do you think McDonalds would sell if the price of a Big Mac meal + a desert was 100$? Try to be honest plz...

@alin1975 Ok, lets stay on topic. Now back to the debate young one. TGI Friday's and Longhorns are American chain restaurants that have slammed many high end restaurants. These restaurants charge fairly high prices, so explain their success over high end ones? Try to keep your paranoia to a minimum and focus. Let me give you a hint, think "process development". I should be charging you for this lesson.

@TheSeer101

The fact that you do not understand my explanation says something about you, not about my explanation.

And yes genius, I must be getting very "angery" lol :D

I know, what about making a fourth account and pretending to back yourself up? It might work this time...

@alin1975 I never said you owned a fancy restaurant. What you are not understanding is the love people have for their burgers. You are lost in a very first year understanding of marketing. You have to learn more about the complexities of consumers. I think this is where you are getting confused and then angery. Again you are lost in explaining your position.

Branding, pricing, convenience, etc.

A 100 dollar meal limits your potential clients, particularly in poor economic times.

I always said McDonalds has a great business model, but somehow your little brain can't wrap itself around the notion of there being multiple factors at play, rather than just taste. Its astounding that after all we discussed you could post something like this.

And by the way, I own no fancy restaurants :)

@theeaglequest Did you know Camden Pierce Hughes? I saw your tribute, it was really sad what happened to that little angel.
