There was a conversation in my office today about this restaurant in Northern California. Seems it is one of 'the' restaurants one should go to if one is anyone.
I looked up the place on their website. Seems you can only book reservations no more than two months out. When you get there you will have your choice of two 8-course menus, each costing around $270.00 - per person!! Yes, I wrote $270.00 per person. How insane is that? And, that's before the beverages (usually wine) are included.
Can you imagine an intimate dinner for two costing around $600.00? Me, either. Seems to me that people who insist they have to eat at someplace like that have no sense of priority in their life.
I know we all have our own personal hobbies and obsessions. What makes us individuals is the different likes and dislikes we all have. But, really, what kind of food is worth almost $300.00 per person per meal? Me, I'd prefer a really good burger and fries. A meal I can usually get for around $10.00.
Let your mind wander today to those things you prefer to spend your time and money on. Anything similar to eating in 5-star restaurants and overpaying for food?
