Have any restaurant showed their costs in the last 2 years? I’m curious to see what a typical place in LA costs to run. Especially would love to see how much it’s changed in the last 3 years

So sad!! I was a Burrito Break customer through the Pandemic and even now. They were a true gem and tried to talk them up as much as I could, but a lot of folks, even living Downtown didn’t even know where St. Vincent Court was!!
It’s tough out there even in places with a lot of foot traffic, I wish them all nothing but the best. <3

Another victim of rising food prices. I don’t envy any restaurant owner right now — either your customers foot the bill (and complain at you about $$ instead of the real villains) or you eat the cost yourself and hope you can wait it out until prices go back down… IF they ever go back down.

Egg prices are normal again

It’d be cool if the government actually exerted any of its authority to punish these corporations for blatant gouging and colluding to set new price floors in the aftermath of the pandemic instead of, you know, doing nothing about that & attacking people who got $300 a week a few times when they shouldn’t have.

I feel they could make it work better using a food truck(s).

Literally reading this having my last lunch at BB in St. Vincent. This sucks.

This sucks, really liked this place. One of the only places anywhere you could get lunch under $10 downtown that wasn’t a chain fast food place

I frequented this business when I worked nearby. Always good people and food at a reasonable price. Sad to see them go.

Egg prices are not tripling. Workers aren’t returning anywhere because they work remote. You can’t have it both ways.
