Bodybuilder's breakfast RIP
« on: January 02, 2015, 12:05:46 PM »
The base price at The Firehouse for the bodybuilder's breakfast with chicken breast, without tax or a drink, was $16 bucks!  Bodybuilders ain't got that kind of money, even living in their cars outside Golds to save on rent.  They've been priced out by the hipsters of Venice.

With added bananas in the buckwheat pancakes and the drink and tax the total was $21 for a single meal.

The cars in the Golds lot and across the street are a lot nicer than they used to be also.  I guess some are for that apartment complex they put up, but even still, very few beaters.  The heyday has apparently come and gone and Living The Dream is an idea whose time has passed.

Focus on business the same way you focus on your workout, and you got both, money AND the physique to go with it 8)

Nostalgia.  I remember Arnold sitting next to Dean Tornabene at the counter, able to look over Dean and comment how big you are and asking where you train (as if somehow the answer was not always Gold's Gym, Venice).

The business most in Golds seemed focused on was personal training.  Literally the exact same guys as ten and even twenty years ago.  Hope it is lucrative for them.

I have clear memories of the Bodybuilder Breakfast at $4.95 + $1.00 for a chicken breast.  Bodybuilder breakfast and a pitcher of ice tea + tip was under $10.

Summer 1990.

I was there several times in the mid-90's prices were similar.  Prices started to get silly in the mid-00's.  The owners are greedy fuckers.

I'll say it again... fuck them!

Since the last few "PIP" threads have featured a final pic of the deceased sitting down to one of these epic breakfasts, perhaps it's for the best that the average $5/hour BB/personal trainer can't afford to eat there.
