~100-120 per person

 

About that much...little more depending on your tipping style

100% worth it too!

 

He does that to advertise his skill and his main business. He takes a huge loss on every meal he serves.

 

Care to be more specific on this???

 

Simple...he keeps open an entire establishment just for one table. Between food costs, operating costs, and staff costs, he loses money on the meals. Restaurants have so much overhead, that you would never buy it back with one table. However, he is not serving those meals to make money. It is simply to draw attention to the main business.

 

Yes and No actually.

His main business is the market - that does VERY well - but his passion is cooking so i think he does it for fun mostly. With that said, at the rates he charges i think he actually does make some decent money doing the "one table thing"......

But i see the point you are making - and the dinner DEFINATELY makes you want to come back and shop in the little market.

BTW, he will also let repeat customers sit in the kitchen during the meal and watch him work/eat right from the stove type of thing! That is next on my list

 

Sounds like an awesome place.

I wanna see you do the dishes

 

Pat, the place was awesome....and ill do the dishes if you pay the tab

 

As promised, here is a pic of the table.....

 

are your brother in laws both wearing the same sweater but in different colors how cute

 

hahahahaa...prally were. My sisters prally went shopping for them together!

 

Sounds pretty cool actually. Not too horrible of a price at all for being the best food you ever ate!

 

Thanks for the link, Jon. I may get some friends together and see if I can do this sometime.

 

$100 - $120 per person is not a lot for a chefs table, high quality food prep, approximately one staff member per person and no wine mark up. He's probably breaking even to probably losing a little. Love chefs tables!

Glad you enjoyed!

 

Give me $120 a person ill cook you the meal of your life! Depending on the area $120 a person he is making a mint.

Simple math:

120 a person 4 tables a day say 5 days a week

Thats about 10k a month plus grat. and beer wine..

He isnt making a killing but sure is making money. And the fact that he is sold out for the year..

It all boils down to what he serves I guess..
