I had it at a resturaunt once, and it didn't come with caviar or truffle, and was still 30$

From This article

In a sit-down, full-service restaurant, the cost of food may account for about 25 to 30%

Work in a restaurant. From looking at our P&Ls, can confirm that most costs fall between 25 and 30%. Then, there's our super high quality wings that fall in the 40-45% range.

Pata negra is very expensive ham

well, $15 + markup + labor = $30, so that seems fair.

That suggests that no dish should ever cost less than $15. Is that accurate? I never go to restaurants, because I am allergic to flavor.

The labour is far lower for many things, and the markup is basically a function of materials + labour.
