Just took a lady out on a date, I order my meal for $45 and get this. I don't even know what this is. Is this what fine dining in America is now? 45 dollars!

45 bucks for a soggy piece of pork rind and collard greens? Complete bullshit
>>
You could have you know, googled it. I mean you're taking a lady into some restaurant apparently fancy enough on the outside or by reputation for you to imagine it's going to have "American fine dining" with zero research. You're lucky you weren't all eating African food with your fingers out of a bowl or something crazy, you idiot. Google.

No you didn't. A simple search by image shows that's from some Yelp page from 2014.
>>
It sounds like you had your first experience dining at a luxury restaurant.

You don't pay more for high quality, innovative food, or even the good service.

You pay more simply for the fact that you know only the upper crust of society will be eating there (aside from the occasional person such as yourself), and not associating with people who care about getting good food for good money is considered a positive trait among the stupidly rich.

>>7496277
dude that's BS. I'd suck down some of them 150 dollar bottles of wine first and go back there and get in the chef's face. really raise your voice and dump the shit over his head and tell him that you wouldn't feed this shit to a starving little ooga booga in buttfuggistan. beat your hand on the table and really make him feel like an animal. lol. and when the bill comes just throw the money at them and tell them to keep the change u filthy animal ok. that's really what they do in them fansy restaurants ok.

if you're very very insecure about your money, maybe.

I'm not really sure what point you're making.

"Luxury" is a concept that's been around for centuries, and just means it's a place where the prices are inflated simple so that poor people wont eat there.

These days it's usually outdated, mediocre spa cuisine.
>>
>>7496770

it's obviously supposed to mean a quality of service that fosters total relaxation and unfettered enjoyment of the service. that may mean excluding the hoi polloi when it's a public service, but it's not the entire basis of the classification.

i learned a word today, and i don't learn words on 4chan very often, thanks anon
>>
>>7496783

There is definitely an established use of the term luxury that refers to to exclusivity.

You can eat at everything between your corner diner and three Michelin star restaurants, which you might spend months getting a reservation at, but you're never going to run into Trump at any of those places, because he pays for the privilege to eat a mediocre, $200, well done steak at the top of a skyscraper just as a status symbol, and so that someone with his kind of money knows he wont have to be in the same room with anyone who isn't a millionaire while he's eating.

That looks like something a flyover version of a hipster would serve at a farm-to-table gastropub next to the only espresso shop in town that isn't starbucks. I don't believe it was $45 though. Maybe $17. Which seems like a lot until you consider that those leaves aren't iceberg lettuce or even any known form of spinach. Because heirloom vegetables are all the rage now, my uncle reads Midwest Living and they had an article all about it.

No doubt they proudly serve West Babyjesusville Brewing's Hop Carpet Bomb DIPA, and Cleetus B. Hayseed's At Least We're Not the South Imperial Stout on tap, and they offer provocatively hip desserts such as cupcakes (just like New York!), and edgy starters like a spicy spanish soup called gazprom or something (it's cold?!? those gourmet hipster foodies have gone too far this time!)

Also, in a dangerously pretentious nod to the foodie trends of Shitcago, all menu items would be priced in whole numbers with a dash next to them. This would show that they are about the food, and not about nickel-and-diming the customers.

Some of the more well travelled regulars may get into the habit of tipping a generous 15% if the service is excellent. Which, of course, it would be, at all times, as befits the finest gastropub in all of {insert flyover state here}.

before i address this, can i just ask: have you eaten at a lot of fine dining restaurants? do you feel like you have access to these places, or are you speaking as an impoverished outsider?
>>
>>7496864

I grew up in an affluent jewish family, so yes, I'm speaking from experience.

I'm currently posting on 4chan, so obviously didn't live up to the expectations placed on me, and have actually worked in the kitchens of the kind of places I was referring to.

Gazpacho is vile though.

Trump eats at both but always sells at the luxury one

Is there a reason you mentioned Chicago specifically? Or was it just that it's the cultural center that smaller Midwestern cities would look to ape for foodie-cred?
