A couple of thoughts while I've never been a Hash House fan its certainly a quality restaurant
In San Diego on weekends lines form to get a table.I've taken friends form Australia and elsewhere
there and most love it
Typically these days I'm into healthier eating so its just not my thing biscuits fried chicken etc
I had the pleasure of meeting Johnny Rivera the owner in San Diego many years ago when the Tractor Room was still open.
He impressed me with his desire to put it out a quality product and deliver high standards of guest service which was admirable
Tractor Room was the place to be seen if young & attractive.They had good personable service.Sadly it closed.
Liked that better than Hash House

Breakfast generally doesn't cost a lot to put out eggs, toast,cereal, fruit etc despite the menu prices being high
However rent costs,labor energy thats where all the overhead starts to heat things up and keep the prices high
