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

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

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.

You don't choose a dish at a "fine dining" restaurant;  the menu is pre-selected and several courses, there's a dress code, etc.
This is true for some places. Not in the U.S though. Americans like to feel empowered.  :doge

It's what the term "fine dining" means.. in the U.S.

Most places in the US don't even have restaurants like that for sure though; but most of the US is suburban/subrural/rural and full of chains.

Yeah, you're right about fine dining being pre-selected, even in the US.  Example:  https://imgur.com/gallery/ABSms

Man, you guys have to get married already. Gay-married, I suppose. Then your dating costs plummet.
Like last night my wife and I were like, "you wanna get something fancy for dinner tonight? It's Valentine's Day."

"You mean Arby's?"

"No, no, I mean real fancy – like Ruby Tuesdays."

"Oh yeah, that'd be nice."


Then we did it as a carry-out order so we didn't even have to tip 'em.

None of this 'hold on, doll – that lobster bichon frise is like $50 bucks. I ain't buying that for you unless you're puttin' out."

I've found that in the majority of cases, deconstructed dishes take less talent and technique than their normal versions. Sushi is a craft that requires a lot of practice. It's a hell of a lot easier to throw rice, nori fish and tobiko in a bowl than to actually roll a perfect maki sushi.

I tip $1 or $2 when picking up takeout (teriyaki, Mediterranean, Indian, etc.). These are typically places I go to on a regular basis.

I also tip $1 per beer when I'm out. [shrug]

I never tip for takeout, but I mostly just get takeout from casual places that are between $10-15 a meal. I also live in California where wait staff are paid full minimum wage on top of their tips, so I don't feel guilty about it.

For sit down, I usually tip 20% rounded up to the nearest dollar assuming they didn't forget about me after handing me the check.

You add a cocktail to any of those, except the ones in the 20s, and you’re at about 50. (Admittedly, I only get a cocktail if it’s night.)

Where is this from? You keep posting very generic dishes with descriptions that read like they're from 1980's

This is where my wife and I went on Friday night. These are pretty standard Seattle prices.

50 bucks here is just about a plate of Japanese style chicken and waffles and a cocktail and I get it like once a week.

Like karaage and waffles? Why have I not thought of this before. God I love karaage.

Yep. And matcha butter. It’s fantastic.

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.

I hope Gordon Ramsay rapes you to death while Marino watches

The dudes that brought their dates to the restaurant I manage would have felt blessed to get out of there at under $50 per person. Our set menu was $140 per person. The dudes who didn't check their voicemail confirmation where we informed them that this was the only menu available looked scared.

Sure, and its over $500 if you order 7 entrees each, 3 apps, and 2 bottles of wine.

Add another $1,600 if you crash your car in the parking lot.

I mean he literally said a dish and a cocktail; and he'd have to tip... sooo...

I was going to say the same thing, but I’m just not going to bother with him. Winners like me have better things to do. Like it’s almost time to put on pants for the day.
