One serves booze, the other doesn't. I don't know exactly what you mean about increased average check based on the menu. The non booze is also cash only, I don't think the menu prices are very high for what you get like some places, I think it is very reasonable for the location too. The other place is probably doing a lot better because of the alcohol for sure, but the restaurant also does very well on it's own, I frequent it a lot and sometimes I have to park on a side street just to get my take-out.
I am not saying all restaurants are very profitable, I am just saying they can be. CB is probably very season able, profit wise, since it is a destination place, but it doesn't necessarily operate in the red during the off season, I don't know.

Man, why do you guys have to bring up HI. Ouch.
Yeah, their food wasn't the best, but it was still pretty good and not a Chili's/TGI Fridays/etc food factory.
