Nope, I actually feel that way and have done these things.

Restaurants typically mark up food by 200% (much more for alcohol, which is why they push it).

So that $150 grain fed steak you're getting is worth only $50. Whereas a truly beautiful piece of grass fed/finished beef would sell for $80-100 at the butcher.

Would you pay $300 for a grassfed tomahawk? Probably not.

Some foods are worth eating out because it's a combination of ambiance, time with friends/family, etc that all combines into an experience....

but to imply that you're really getting the "good stuff" when it comes to steak at steakhouses... LOL shows how much you know, faggot.

They do dry age steaks, but I'm not a fan. Go buy an $60 grassfed grass finished ribeye from a butcher and tell me how good it is. No need to dry age.

Pufferfish. They have neurotoxin in their liver and ovaries so you have to be really careful not to touch them when you're filleting them otherwise it contaminates the entire fish and the person eating it will most certainly die.
This makes fugu a (supposedly) very expensive meal as few are the chefs officially qualified to deal with the fish. The filets are apparently a bit tingly from the presence of an extremely small amount of the toxin in the flesh and chefs have reported that if you don't wear gloves, you will temporarily lose sensations over your fingertips when handling fugu.

Fugu served nowadays has such a slight trace of neurotoxin that it has no noticeable effect on who eats it. It’s illegal to serve the liver which is considered fairly potent in neurotoxin.
