Funny!
I thought he was responding to you but he replied to @aaqjr. 
Yeah, Sysco doesnât seem superior.
$9.50 / lb. in 2013. I believe they buy from a handful of similarish independent SoCal ranches.

Definitely not sysco prices.
Thanks for the source! Iâd love to do a side by side with other brands (although $9.50/lb in 2013 prices gives me pause).
So 80ish food cost assuming pork butt is ~8 lbs before adding in the cost of the other ingredients and labor cost. Iâm not saying itâs good but you can see why its expensive.
Letâs assume Majordomo is using this pork. I can tell you that theyâre not paying anywhere near $10/lb for it.
Even at 50% off its still more than twice as expensive as commodity pork. I doubt they are getting that big a break but who knows
I can say from experience that restaurants donât get a very big break when buying from farms, ranches, and fishermen that sell only at top-tier farmers markets and direct to restaurants. Thereâs no middleman to cut out.
OhâŠthat soccarat/tahdig!

Had duck crispy rice last night, it was perfect. As has been said before, the duck was tender the truffle flavor was not overpowering at all. We paired it with Grange Des Peres Rouge and it was magic.

Do you guys have a favorite area for dining?
Counter? Patio? Dining room?
FYI this dinner will be with a bro not a woman so I donât care about lighting, mood, etc. Wouldnât mind the counter if itâs a open kitchen and we can watch and ham it up a little with the cooks. Yes I do plan on getting those ribs!!! I guess a few of the bings as wellâŠ
it is an open kitchen but the cooks arenât really anywhere close to the counter. also, if youâre getting them ribs, you really should get a 4 top since the ribs and condiments take up the whole dang table.

Iâve been seated at the bar, the dining room, and the patio. I like them all. @moonboy403 is rightâŠif you need table space, then the bar/counter seats may not have enough space.

If it isnât too cold, the patio is so nice,

Iâm also not sure if the bar offers that menu. i remember there being a different menu for the bar and the rest of the restaurant. i think they exclude the big main dish items.
not sure if this is still true
You could be rightâŠwe only had snacks at the bar with drinks while waiting for a friend who was late.
The couple of times I ate at the bar (not chefâs counter), everything but the large-format dishes was available.
