a discount, i would be a little annoyed. i don't like the idea at all. >> i agree. it is not seem to make sense. it is tough enough to get people back into the theater, so why this unlevel playing field? larry: maybe if this was pre-pandemic and they thought, we can work some deals. but i don't get it. they might as well be paying us to go watch the movie as opposed to dynamically pricing them. kristen: from a consumer standpoint, i don't like it. but if i were operating a chain of theaters and i figure this will sell out anyway and i have been hurting and i want to make a little more -- dan: i think it is going to hurt them. i will give you $12, i'm not giving you $13. larry: dan draws the line at a dozen. kristen: i just realized i'm too much of a capitalist. larry: that is all right. spencer: don't defend them.

if i knew it would be this kind of show, i would have some jokes written. we are excited, this is our first restaurant outside of san francisco in our first new restaurant in almost three years. we have been a little tied up these last two years for obvious reasons. excited to be getting back to opening restaurants. the big thing on the move to marin, we are doing this via zoom, so many people are not getting back to the office yet and a lot of our clientele were about to celebrate our eighth anniversary, but a lot of people lived in marin and used to commute to the city and had souvla for lunches, so we saw this as an opportunity. kristen: can you explain what fast fine means? charles: we were at the forefront in terms of creating this genre of restaurant.

it is not your contemporary fast, casual, like you see in other places where the food is made in front of you and you get to select the things you want or don't want. it is also not a full-service restaurant. but we act in a middle ground. you place your order at the counter, that is where it drops off from a quick service restaurant because the rest of it looks, acts, and feels like a full-service restaurant. your food is brought to your table, your table is best. there are candles on the table, everyone is drinking wine. it acts like a full-service restaurant and it has that flexibility where you can order online for pickup, you can order for delivery. it is also nice enough that you can bring a date too. larry: i've got the chicken sandwich. what is the best item under menu

for people that want to order or drop in? charles: it is a simple menu. sandwiches, salads, these are curated dishes. the lamb sandwich is the signature. then on the salad side -- when a view actually has -- we just rolled this out a few months back, we where the lunch charter for a local company and we have rolled out of the country's first plant-based lamb. one of you has a lamb sandwich that is actually not made from lamb. kristen: i don't think that is me but that sounds amazing. i have never had such great tasting tomatoes and pickled red onions. spencer: i have to endorse your fries, they are delicious. if they are that good after having been delivered, i cannot imagine what they are like when

they are fresh. dan: they are delicious. charles: always specified out of the kitchen for sure. larry: charles from souvla, congratulations not only on the new restaurant, but you managed to make it through this segment pretty much unscathed. spencer: you have not known larry long enough. maybe this is long enough.
