    Where I’m at, our most expensive fine dining restaurant is like $120 a person if you wanted to get appetizers, an expensive entree, dessert, and good wine. I’ve only been once, not on my dime, and it was far from the best meal I’ve ever had, regardless of price.

    Meanwhile, I used to work in the kitchen at another fine dining place where the head chef said his secret was stealing the most popular dish from every restaurant he’s ever worked at. I got like a 50% discount at that place on days that I worked, so I’d work a lunch and then take my partner to dinner and have the bougiest food you’ve ever eaten at Applebee’s prices.
