What would you expect from a 44 dollar breakfast?

[jman46241]

I doubt I've ever had a breakfast that cost over 15.. There was bacon, eggs, ham, steak, waffles, syrup, coffee, toast, napkins. Anyway, I seen this video and I began to wonder.

This is just the tip of the iceberg. The government is well known for being extremely wasteful with their money. They spend considerably more than they should for just about everything they do.

I don't really understand the $44 breakfast though. Generally government employees get a fixed per diem when they travel. It's quite generous. To my knowledge it's not broken down by lodging, meals, etc. It's just a total fixed amount.

I have not worked for the government, nor gotten government per diem. But I've spent many months getting per diem in the private sector, which goes by the government rate and rules. Maybe this breakfast is some sort of "official" meeting, that is paid for by the agency rather than individuals. In that case it seems like it should be deducted from the individual's per diem since that's supposed to cover meals. Otherwise they'd be double dipping. Regardless of how it's charged, the price is outrageous.

But really, this is nothing in the big picture. The waste in government is widespread across every agency. We need to bring back the Golden Fleece Award and give it the same kind of attention that Grammys, Oscars and all the other worthless awards get. But people are more interested in celebrity awards than the government wasting billions of dollars of taxpayers money.

Yeah, I've never had a $44 breakfast, but I can almost imagine it. It would probably be the steak and egg dish at a very high-end place. Other than that, breakfast items are always pretty cheap and thus in my experience, even at the nicest places, breakfast tops out at around $30. Like I'm pretty sure I had a $27 omelette at the Viceroy in Santa Monica and breakfast was about that much at Redd in Napa. But even if you got an omelette that was topped with truffles or caviar and creme fraiche, I don't think it would hit $44.

You know, the post from @cheapshotbob made me consider a possibility. While it's not really "breakfast", high tea at the Peninsula in Los Angeles is $65. I mean, that's kind of like breakfast, right? Maybe not...

[cheapshotbob]

it could be , i never had that myself but thats high fr a tea you cna make yourself. but i always make my own things. but if its a aplce i have never been i guess you get your moneys worth if you have never been on a palce like that befre/

you know your paying for the experience more than the food like how some places charge 80 dollars for a simple cheese burger fries and coke at a dance hall your paying for the entertainment more than you are the food.

[RandomPandaz]

44 dollars for a breakfast wow I would expect full service refilling and the food has to be really good
I really dont know what to expect from a breakfast that costs that much

[RandomPandaz]

Thanks for picking me as most helpful :)

[Topaz171]

My table better be covered with pancakes, hasbrowns, bacon, eggs, sausage, biscuits, and a steak. And it better be free refills😂

[Paris13]

Hey, @coolbreeze Freeze, you left out the Waffles and the 3 glasses of OJ and also the Hot Cocoa with whipped top that flop. x

[whattothink]

It better be organic, local, and cater to my food sensitivities for that price.

[cheapshotbob]

thats nothing i was at a fancy restaurant once it was my first time seeing how the other half enjoyed dinner i got 1 steak and some fries with a tea it was around 5 bucks and it also included a salad bar. it was good but i thought to myself i could cook this at home for like 12 bucks lol.

but for the 44 dollar breakfast i would expect the service to be really good where you dont need to ask for anything. like refilling your cup of tea or bringing you a basket of biscuits when you get low and food that is filling and satisfying. so you dont go hungry later thats just what i see for an expensive breakfast.

[cheapshotbob]

i meant 50 bucks not 5 sorry for the typo lol

While staying in Vegas, I walked into an all night bar. The sign on the wall said breakfast $44 and below that it said Handjobs $44. I asked the attractive girl behind the bar if she was the one who gave the handjobs and she said that she did. I said, well wash your hands and make me some breakfast

[SuccessfulHornDog]

Great, now I want breakfast AND a handjob. I need to borrow another $50

[jman46241]

50 for a handjob? Worse deal than the breakfast!

[SuccessfulHornDog]

Ho much should I pay?

[jman46241]

Shit if I know! I'm on some 5 dolla sucky sucky or a Hardee's 5 dollar breakfast combo. The latter will only bring a day of worry..

[SuccessfulHornDog]

Both of them will give you diarrhea

[jman46241]

No, the first will give you gonorrhea too.

[SuccessfulHornDog]

Thats not a very good breakfast then

[Bananaman177]

My breakfast costs 99 cents.

[jman46241]

That makes about as much sense as this

[Bananaman177]

No, dude, you need to try that shit. It's called a "Canada Cake" okay? You need to understand this on such a fundamental level with me right now. You make oatmeal, like Quaker oats? But you cook the oatmeal with Canadian whiskey (they make this kind called Fireball with cinnamon, that's the shit, fool.) and maple syrup.

You can change the balance of this magical concoction to suit your tastes, I actually put very little syrup, like maybe a tablespoon or two.

Dude, just listen to me right now, okay listen for a second, okay man, are you listening? I need you to make sure that you understand that this CAKE. . . which you can DRINK. . . also DRUNKENS you. . . Okay, just make sure you are picking this part up, it is kind of like the most important part, if you will.

You basically have to understand that this Revolution will be leaving the station soon whether you are on board or not. I am telling you this as a friend. TOP MEN are going to be doing BIG THINGS soon.

[jman46241]

TOP GUN? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=siwpn14IE7E

[Bananaman177]

It's even Top Gunnier than that.

[BertMacklinFBI]

$44? hmm... for breakfast

10 eggs, 12 strips of bacon, 8 sausage links, 6 slices of toast, oatmeal, pancakes, waffles, hashbrowns, cheese omelet, country fried steak, and a fruit cup.

[coolbreeze]

Steak, eggs, pancakes and something fancy like some violins playing and a piano and some fancy desert.

[behappybabe]

I'd expect pancakes, bacon, eggs, sausage, muffins, the whole nine yards. For $44 it better have shaved gold on it lol

[coachTanthony]

Love this guy... he is always right in my opinion. Govt is definitely out of control with stupid spending.

[JimRSmith]

Thanks for posting this - hopefully this guy is going places.

I've heard of Trey Gowdy before, but going to look him up now I've seen this.

[JimRSmith]

But back to your original question - $44 breakfast. I think I'd expect some kind of enormous self service buffet, with stuff like lobster Thermidor, kidneys Tobago and other stuff that you never really eat for breakfast.

[dolemite68]

there better be veal, filet mignon and some expensive liquor to go with my eggs

[legalboxers]

$44 breakfast? was there a mimosa included in that?

[meatballs21]

I'd want a magnum of mimosa.

[Joonam]

A lot of food. I am thinking of buffet.

[OlderAndWiser]

Trey Gowdy for President!

[tickledpuppy]

For a $44 breakfast, I'd expect $30 in change!

[bloodmountain1990]

Best Fucking breakfast ever

[superdouch]

Gold plated napkins and a freaking. blowjob lolol

[TonyRyanAgain]

For it to fuckin cook itself, damn that's spendy.

[MadBoy]

... Why the f*ck am I alive again?

[Reach500]

I'd want everything to be organic

[COCOCHANEL]

steak and... berries
