Since we're talkin' about food....
I've got a question for you guys/want your take on way expensive restaurants. Especially these 3 star rated Michelin places etc.
I'm a guy who'lll eat just about anything ....and enjoy it each and every time no matter what. In my life time I have eaten at some pretty down market places as well at quite a few "fancy places with fancy prices" .... and enjoyed it all. Fancy places, not only when I get "treated" by some one else, but also, too many times I've gone just to enjoy myself.
But thinking about it rationally - how do I justify paying say over US$1,000 for ONE meal...when I could feed myself 3 square meals a day for practically a whole month for that! I mean, did I REALLY enjoy myself THAT much eating that meal? And usually accompanied by some fancy wines....which I don't even know how to appreciate properly, coz I just ain't a wine connoisseur and drink only to get tipsy/high - that's all!
How about you guys? I mean there soooooo many of these fancy places all over the world and they all seem to be enjoying good patronage etc. Yeah Yeah Yeah, expensive is only relative etc etc blah blah blah - but to me thinking rationally, a US$1,000 meal just cannot be justified....even without pontificating about how many starving children could be fed etc etc.
Just curious as to others' take on this subject.
