Anyone ever been taken out to a nice fancy restaurant and when they bring out your $100+ entrée, all you can think to yourself is that you would trade it for an In-and-Out Burger in an instant?

(still, does a meal costing a hundred bucks taste THAT much better than one costing a half or a third of it?)
We're fans of the good-meal-delivered-home route. No annoying people around, no snootiness, no fancy-pants. Hell we can just do NO pants from home!
Anyone who wouldn't trade that for a slice of hand tossed pizza?
I found out I don't know which fork is which. (but they did know how to cook salmon properly)

I wasn't :oops:
That's okay...went to a Social D show with VIP tix @ the Showbox, and the appetizers they had were 'higher end'...I had no idea what the brown stuff in the bowl was, it had a black jelly like stuff on top. Duck Liver Pate.
it was really good.

GUH!!!!
Yes Ruth Chris Steakhouse. Most overpriced place I have ever been and the steak sucked I can run circles around them cooking steak. Waste of time and money will never ever go again next time I will fire up the grill and buy a good steak and make it my way.
Had dinner at the Anaheim White House once and topped it off with vintage Grand Marnier. Best dinner ever. Business dinner
Thank you
That reminds me...
I have smoked alaskan salmon in the kitchen... thank ya
I don't go out to the expensive places often but i really do enjoy them when i do. Sometimes i whiff on the resturant i try but for the most part i enjoy it.
My work gives out $50 gift cards to the resturant of your choice when you are the "employee of the quarter" I've gotten that a few times and that makes things a little easier to try some of these places.

I hate it when I'm reading a menu and have never heard of 75% of the foods listed. :fp:
Later that night, we were trying to find some place that was open to get something to eat. We found a restaurant in the directory that was open and was less than two blocks away from the hotel. It was ‘something Grille and Bar” so we figured it would be a nice casual place to eat and drink.
Apparently, there is a big difference between "Bar and Grille", and "Grille and Bar"
When we walked in there, the place was basically empty but we soon realized it was a much higher end restaurant that we anticipated. And of course, we weren’t really dressed for the place, but they let us stay anyway. I remember being mortified at how under dressed we were.
My friend had lobster (at market price, whatever it was that day) and I had filet mignon. We figured, what the hell, we’re here, we might as well go all in. We drank expensive wine, and the bill was outrageous but we had a great time.
We knew we were way out of our league when the waiter came over and "combed" away the crumbs from the bread they served.
We then saw a sign posted, $25 per person, per hour, no matter what!!! Being an hour early for the game, plus most games were 3 hours = 4.5 hours. I guess its so you don’t sit there all game long??? Anyway, 5 hours at $25 = $125 a person. I don’t think either one of us can eat or drink that much in that time frame. So we got water and when the waiter went to get it, we got the heck out of there.
We got some bagels and beverages for about $6 and sat in some sports hall with every NFL game on for free with the Bears vs Vikings game the featured game with sound. The Vikings lost, but we saved $244!!!!
I was in one of these fancy pants places with my aunt and uncle once when I was about 16-17. They tried to get me to eat garlic snails or some shit... So I caved and said I'd try it. But i'll be damned if I'm not gonna smell it before I eat it. apparently that's bad manners. My aunt slapped me. I think the slap was worse manners than smelling the garlic snails. I'll likely never go back to these type places.
