Would you pay $17 for this?

i bet gordon ramsey would throw it straight into the trash can

Maybe $10, but $17 is ridiculous.

But what if it tastes good? Really good? What then?

>dumbass hipster shit. Don't fuck with the beauty of well done korean BBQ or mexican street food.
As someone who leans traditionalist part of me agrees. Shit becomes popular because it's good, and why fuck with what's already good. But in the case of Mexican street food it's all fusion anyways, so part of being overly trad about things is saying "NO FUN ALLOWED", which is silly. Hipster is eagerly overpaying for the novelty. But Korean Mexican fusion is hardly a new thing. The Kogi Truck was a national sensation like eight years ago. (And part of the team is a chef who was a CIA valedictorian). This isn't some new flavor of the month thing. Not worth $17 a plate IMO, but if you were starved for novelty I could see it.
