What's the most you would pay for a Michelin star meal?

[Anonymous No.10711201]

like $50
it'd better be good tho

[Anonymous No.10711211]

Whenever I think about fine dining, I think to myself, "Which would give me more pleasure? This $100 steak, or $100 worth of blow?"

Your broke ass has obviously never been to one.

I elected for just a 2 star when I was moving from Tokyo back to the states, the three stars that looked good were booked solid by the time I decided I wanted one last incredible meal. There were about 25 people in the back cooking intensely for a restaurant with about 20 people in it on the night I went. You do not have access to the ingredients (the shit you buy at the farmers market is shit compared to what they source), you don't possess their talent, and it takes an entire team to reproduce their dishes

One stars can be handed out to experts at what they do, like the noodle stands that sell out every day before noon, but usually its a team on a journey.

2 stars and 3 stars are pretty much unobtainable without some of the best talent and ingredients in the world.

I enjoy cooking and my hope is to one day to never need to go to a regular restaurant unless I'm feeling lazy. But whats really pretentious is thinking you can approach their quality at all without devoting your life to the craft

You realize Michelin stars aren't given out based on the price of the food, right? There are several in large US cities that will only set you back somewhere between $15-30 for a meal.

I've paid $500 plus for meals at "fancy" restaurants but I once got some nice Thai food, I think it was, from a Michelin-starred food truck in Denmark. Can't have paid more than 20 bucks for that.
I'm pretty sure I've paid $500 plus at places without any stars too, though. It's not really something I look for, the stars I mean.

When I do spend that much on a meal it's usually a tasting menu with wine pairings.
It will leave you very full both in terms of actual food and new taste experiences. It's a nice night out that I do with a few friends once every few months.
I don't like the snooty stuff at all and I've been to a few places where I really wanted them to tone it down. It's definitely mostly about good, VERY good, food and good company. It means nothing to me that the waiter's tie cost a small fortune. That's not why I'm there.
I will point out, though, that I've never had a family with a couple of loud as fuck kids sit next to me in those places. That's nice.

You've never eaten at a Michelin star restaurant, so you aren't lying.

[Anonymous No.10721345]

The thing that always gets me about discussing quote-unquote "luxury" products or services (like Michelin star meals) is that it just completely boils down to whether or not the subject is what you splurge on.

You can drop $40,000 extra buying the car you actually want instead of the one that would work fine, and you're a poorfag the moment you're uninterested in dropping $150 on a steak, or $4k on a cruise, or $60 on a videogame or whatever the other person takes pride in wasting their money on.

But whatever; there's more enjoyment in dining experience just looking up a list of restaurants in your area and going to a new one every night than there is in getting fixated on one that wins something as unmethodical as a Michelin star.

I don't know what the actual most I "would" pay, I know what the most I actually will ever pay in my life is because I already did and now that I know what it's like, I don't feel the need to do it again.

I paid 350 euro in 2004 for a de gustation menu at Maison Rostang with a few glasses of 'house champagne' which was obviously some champagne house that went for 100euro a bottle or something but was just what they kept in the fridge for when people ordered by the glass and then gave the dregs to the staff at the end of the night.

I didn't feel ripped off but that was a fuck lot of money in 2004, still a fair bit now.

I've been to La Truffiere a lot of times, which wasn't a michelin star restaurant back when I was going but it got one later and the menu doesn't seem to have changed. That was expensive at about 100 euro for lunch but it was amazing and just as good as Michel Rostang in my opinion.

I might pay up to $100-$150 per person at a really fancy restaurant with 2-3 Michelin stars. I wouldn't make a habit out of it, at most it'd be a once every 5 years kinda thing.

I can live on around $100 per month as a food budget if I cook everything myself but I average closer to $200 per month after I go out to eat a few times and buy some more expensive stuff at the grocery store like shrimp or steak.
