People complain about Asian food being "expensive" at $16.50 for a large bowl of pho or $18 for a plate of high quality seafood fried rice that can feed 2 people, but they praise the burger place down the street that charges $20 for a burger.
Can we talk about why so many people see Asian food as needing to be cheap?
