Looking at the top 50 rest. A lot of you folks spend a lot of money on dining out. Im not poor by any means but cant fathom spending more than 50 or 60 on a meal for me and the wife. How many times would each of you say youve spent more than 75 ? 100? 150? for 2 meals not including alcoloic drinks. this is a totally different animal.

We eat large twice a month. 100 bucks really isn't that much. When I say large, I am looking at 200 +.

There are very few things that I splurge on or treat myself to. Food is definitely one of them. I don't do it every night but once a week the wife and I will go somewhere and have a nice meal. I don't mind paying for quality of both food and service.

I guess if you dont include booze, I spend $75 when i go on a date. Dating is expensive, I guess that is why I dont do it much. and i'm fat

A lot...hell, I've gone out and spent 100+ on myself on booze alone....
But $50/person goes away very quickly when drinking....

It's hard to exclude alchohol from this. They go hand and hand. When eating good food 95% of the time I am having a glass(bottle) of wine that stands up to the food.

I'd say I hit the $150-$200 mark once a month maybe twice a month on special occasions. I have friends that make more than I do, but refuse to dine out and spend that much money, but like stated earlier...

Exactly. Food and wine/liquor I really enjoy. You gotta pay for the good stuff.

More than I've deserved, fewer than I'd like.

A couple of times. Clancy's on Annunciation, very good. About $150 for myself and the wife.

Wife treated me to Ruth's Chris on my birthday once. This was before Katrina, at the original on Broad St. Excellent. I'm pretty sure she spent at least $100 that night.

Too many times to count. When I go out to a meal like that, I like to make it as worthwhile as I can. Always like to make sure we get all the courses of the meal to sample a little bit of everything, and drinks add up quick too.

I popped my c-note cherry at Kincaids in DC back in 1997. Great meal.

You've inspired me to start another thread on a slightly different topic.

If you include wine, I do this at least once a weeek - most weeks twice.

But that is how I roll

Why would you make me try and count something like that. Hundreds? I spend most of my money on boat gas and food.

ETA: Including wine/drinks?
