Can I get a $5,000 plate? A $5,000 plate? Yeah, how much is it? It's free.
It's free? So, how many meals can I get for $5,000? A lot more than this. What does it cost you to make?
Per plate, probably 50 cents. So, how many meals would $5,000 cover? A lot. And who do the meals go to?
Anyone. Anyone? What if I don't have any money? It's free, so it's okay.
Who makes all the food? My kids and I usually do. And how many do you usually make? Usually around 50, sometimes more.
Do you think you can make $5,000 worth of food? I can certainly try. How long do you think it would take you? Many hours.
Many hours? So, you said you wanted to open up your own cafe so you could do this on a bigger scale, right? That's the dream? That's the dream.
So, if somebody really paid $5,000 for a plate, what would you do first? Cry. Why would you cry? Because that would go so far.
So, Shana, you packed meals for everybody else, right? And the people who saw this video packed you a lunch, and they wanted to give you something, and I want you to do me a favor and open this.
