    She has another article about spending $460 on a dinner. Does shilling for chain restaurants pay that well?

      A filet mignon is one of my 13-year-old daughter's favorite dinners, so she was thrilled to find one on the menu.

      At $58, it was about the same price as my steak entrée. She ate nearly all of it, only taking a little home as leftovers.

      The price of one of her kid's meals costs more than an average restaurant meal for my family che-laughgui-better

        You could buy the filet from a grocery store, grill it at home, and feed the whole family for that same price PLUS there's a very good chance it'll taste better.

      That shit doesn't even look good. $460 could literally get you a Michelin star tasting menu dinner for two.

        I once went on a date to a place that had a Michelin star and it wasn't that expensive. I think I made it out under $70.

          That's why I specified the tasting menu part. With those you're essentially getting a show for two plus hours and like a dozen different small plates of the best food you've ever had.
