Quick poll:

Is Chloe Kim a hot piece of ass?

If she sat on a fire. Sure.

$50 per person is a pretty decent dinner for your average night out.

If you're going to places where an entre is over $100 per person that's getting up there. A Michelin 3 star restaurant is usually $200+
Lol $50 ain’t even close to the ceiling in Boston... as I’ve found out  :crybaby

Drinks anywhere in Miami will eat you alive.

That's why ya pre-drink at a dive bar to fake like you have  "culture" and then go to dinner.

An average entree at a decent restaurant here will cost you from $28 to $40. If you're talking steaks, it keeps going higher. Now, add drinks or wine, appetizers or dessert, plus tip. For two people you will be spending well over $100. Probably closer to $200.

A nice (nothing crazy) dinner for 2 in London will easily be in the £80-100 range.

So like a thousand dullarz or something.

Im at 50%

My first report was successful almost instantly.

The second one was ignored.

And if youre paying over $15 for an entree on a first date youre a godamned idiot and probably like Marvel movies.

I don't fuck with fine dining anymore. Sometimes I would go into a new Fusion place, nothing on the menu is enticing me, so I just get a seasoned chicken breast and some starch and they charge me 25 dollars for it. Fuck off.

I guess it's my fault for not scouting out the menu beforehand, but it's preposterous how much they charge for their second-tier stuff because their featured items are so high. A plain Ceaser salad for 13-16 dollars (in Ohio, mind you).

Date or not, usually when I'm out at a nice place I'll get a nice NY strip or filet, and no way in hell are those less than $18 lol.

Hell I grabbed an $18 lobster roll for dinner last night. :idont

Usually it's worth it. If it isn't, then I know not to go back. I'll give places a second chance if they mess up on some things, but not steak. :mouf

RESETERA IS FULL OF PEDOPHILES AND RAPISTS
Saying there is a problem with Resetera's users is NOT a personal attack against you
NO ONE is saying ALL resetera users are pedophiles and rapists
NO ONE is saying using Resetera predisposes someone to being a pedophiles or a rapist
Your positive experiences and interactions with resetera are valid no matter what, but individual anecdotes are NOT an adequate counterpoint to a systemic issue
No, this is NOT about Amir0x


Watertight argument right here

Resetera share a lot of users with the Bore, though.  :doge

I got asked out for dinner on Monday and I guess I fucked up by not ordering the most expensive item on the menu and making her pay for it. Instead I ordered what I wanted and paid for my meal like the cuck I am.

Also,  :lol :lol :lol at considering Valentine's Day an actual holiday. Love Day is a more legitimate holiday.

I'm sure it's good dude, and if you're in a long-term relationship already and want to stuff your fat ass this is the route to go. But a date date? nah man.

And like Tasty said, if you go out for dinner might as well make it worth your while. Italian food is for cheap fat americans.

Hey here’s a story:

I asked a girl if she wanted to hang out last week but I never formally called it a date. Nor did I want it to be a date, just wanted to hang out and get food with someone. I got the feeling she liked me since she’s always texting me out of the blue and seems super interested in me. I pay for the movie tickets ahead of time just in case it’s sold out and don’t ever try to ask her to pay me back.

At dinner, we go to this place called Nando’a (her idea), and if you’ve never been there, you’re seated by a host and then go to the counter to order whenever you’re ready to order. I’m sweating as we’re getting to the counter because you order separately and I’d look weird paying for myself then running over to pay for her. So we each just paid for ourselves. I later said something like “sorry I didn’t pay, I wasn’t sure if this was a date or not.” And she said “oh no problem” but I could see the defeat in her eyes.

I once took a girl out on a date and listened to her proceed to tell me she was a "feminist" and so when the check came out i assumed we were splitting it.... Only to later hear from some coworkers of her's that i knew that she was appalled i didn't pay and she wouldn't be going back out with me.

Needless to say this is the day I realized the feminist movement was a sham.  :fbm

I once took a girl out on a date and listened to her proceed to tell me she was a "feminist" and so when the check came out i assumed we were splitting it.... Only to later hear from some coworkers of her's that i knew that she was appalled i didn't pay and she wouldn't be going back out with me.

Needless to say this is the day I realized the feminist movement was a sham.  :fbm

Look, Italian food can be amazing. But pasta is literally flour and water. Some recipes have egg yolk and milk. It's cheap as fuck to make. Have some perspective, please.

Isn't that true of vast swathes of major national gastronomies though ? Most courses originated from basic everyday cooking.

I will say they somehow made salad addicting. I could literally just go there and have four bowls of their salad and be satisfied.

No. My job is costing out dishes. Well, part of it. Salads, pasta dishes and desserts subsidize the more expensive dishes on the menu that have much smaller cost margins. So a restaurant that serves mostly pastas doesn't need to charge nearly as much, as long as they do a lot of volume since their margins are great.

I don't fuck with fine dining anymore. Sometimes I would go into a new Fusion place, nothing on the menu is enticing me, so I just get a seasoned chicken breast and some starch and they charge me 25 dollars for it. Fuck off.

I guess it's my fault for not scouting out the menu beforehand, but it's preposterous how much they charge for their second-tier stuff because their featured items are so high. A plain Ceaser salad for 13-16 dollars (in Ohio, mind you).

I went to a place that deconstructed sushi and it felt like I was eating sacrilege.

Are you tasteless, uncultured idiots really shitting on Italian food?

Italian food whose entrees are < $15, yes.

This is fine Italian food: https://www.zomato.com/boston/strega-boston/menu


Looks basic.

I can't pretend I have a well-honed palate nor have I tried the entire menu, but it seemed pretty authentic to me. :idont

Interested in you linking an Italian place you like.
