It's true tho lol like there is fancy restaurants which suck because they are super expensive BUT you eat something special that you can't eat everywhere and it can be cool as a ceremonial thing or whatever, and then there is this kind of shit which is nothing special, it's just expensive and a scam.

the bourgeois shit is amplified when it's literally just branding plus price, and not like, really good food that is also hard to make. there's still such a thing as a special occasion, this is kind of the opposite of that, just selling its own price as socially perceived value

I'm so working class I'm homeless lol. I still appriciate a good meal and there is definitely such a thing as real fanciness. Is it usually worth it? Probably not, you can eat out well for much cheaper most places, but its still a real thing, sorry that we live in a society
