Why are all the coffee shops in LA starting burger programs? Here’s a nice Anaerobic processed Colombia with notes of lime and bergamot, and we’re gonna pair that WITH OUR VERSION OF THE BACONATOR WITH CHEESE!!!

Aren’t we supposed to be good with pairings? What happened to BeInG LIke tHe wINe InDuStRy!? Am I being snobby right now? Because I hope I am.

Imagine this being a barista comp routine. Thank you judges for being here, in front of you there is a baconator. Please smell the baconator and take a bite when I instruct you to. After that we will dive into this shot of Carbonic Macerated Gesha. Please stir it 3 times.

Y’all am I talking craziness here!? Why are we doing this? What customer came into your shop a said “I’d like a vanilla latte and a burger please”. Who is this monster of a person!? What happened to our great bread menus? Did manufactory closing scare everyone from doing bread!?

The only thing manufactory did was scare me from taking huge investments I can’t pay back. GIVE ME MY FRESH SOURDOUGH OR RYE WITH JAM AND RICOTTA! PCP has their menu on lock! Triniti (RIP) on lock! Now my choices are croissants or a burger!? What is this!?

All jokes aside. This is most likely due to the pandemic and I understand the survival mindset of offering something to create more margins. I’m excited to see what food programs look like in LA coffee in a year. Burgers are an easy stepping stone into a better food program.

Great. Now I want a burger.
