I doubt I've been to anywhere fancier than The Keg. Maybe the Boathouse. Meh, fancy restaurants are for people with too much money.

the keg is pretty good, but you probably didnt appreciate it cause of goon

I had an 11-course meal at Uchi for my friend's 30th birthday, that was pretty awesome. Been to a few really nice places in France and Germany too but gently caress if I can remember the names, I know a few of them had at least one or two Michelin stars.

New Orleans loving owns foodwise. Willie Mae's is a trip, Cochon is fantastic, basically everywhere as long as it's not on Bourbon St is fantastic. Last time my friends and I went we got into town on a Thursday and got to hang out and have Chris McMillian serve us drinks for a few hours without any other people at the bar.

Uchi is the poo poo, all jokes aside it is the best fancy restaurant in Texas hands down, imo. I somehow dropped 200 sitting at the bar with a date didn't even order any alcohol, was still very satisfied.

My girlfriend and I went to a fancy sushi place that ended up costing me $120 (with no drinks). To be fair it was fantastic sushi, but I'm not sure that it was $120-worth of enjoyment.

I went to a new pizza place here that was next to somewhere with valet parking. Also it was like a month and a half after it opened and the wait was still over two hours long and I'm pretty sure wait times directly correlate to fanciness.

I turned around and left and got a burger instead because gently caress that.

my kitchen :smug:

not sure actually. probably some ultra expensive steak house or seafood restaurant. there are lots of nice restaurants where i live though that dont necessarily cost a fortune. i dont really like going to the super fancy expensive places and not only because i can't afford to. waiters stay all over you doing dumb bullshit like clearing crumbs with that little tool and trying to direct your meal and doing all these extra wine rituals. i dont need all that going on.

the one thing i do like about the really fancy places is when you order coffee for dessert they will often bring you a personal press.

Reporting for shovel mission Sir.

I used to work for the largest money manager in the world and in a high position and as such I went to many fancy dinners far, far, far beyond my own price range.


They all looked like this. $100 a plate for some squiggles and squirts. I once spent like 100$ on a glass of scotch on top of a loving terrible meal that likely cost like $300.


Rich people!
