re: .

My argument has nothing to do with dressing up. I don't look a slob and never go out looking like one

My point is I don't like paying $30 for an entree that's 5 or 6 bites. Not sure how people get full on that

For work it's usually a large group and we always sample different stuff. Normally everyone picks an app we pass them around. I don't order two entrees for me. More like an entree with an extra side and a salad.

I love steak places because you can choose the size of the steak. Last time we went out to a fancy place for work I got the sea bass and I'm not kidding it wasn't more than 3 oz. it was sitting on top of 2 asaragus and had a sauce drizzled on it. I think it was $38 or $40. Stuff like that I just don't get. How is someone supposed to be full on that? My 3 year old eats more than that for breakfast

I think people grossly exaggerate this topic a bit. Youve paid $30 for an entree and it be 5 bites and the whole dish is done?

I think ive honestly experienced this once where I got the plate and almost laughed at the amount of food. I think nicer places get stereotyped too much in that their portions are too small.

Where was this at?

You sound trashy. Galatoires has great classic New Orleans food and strong cocktails. Things have not changed in over 100 yrs. Waiters make entire careers working at just that one restaurant and do well. If you go into something w/ preconceived notions you put a guard up and usually convince yourself that it is that way. You would actually find that galatoires while still requiring a jacket in the dining room is actually a room full of ppl usually having a good time and getting hammered for hours on end. Oh well your loss. Enjoy your ground pati.

Bananas.60 each?

I have not stepped inside a WalMart in 5 years, but I guarantee you that the bananas were .60 a pound. Albertson's and Rouses are .59 a pound.

It's a zach story, just ignore it like the rest of us.

The point of fine dining is to eat multiple courses....if you're ordering 3-4 courses, each should be sized so you can finish the plate and still have room for the next course. It's not feed trough, doggy bag portions, no.

I bet you smell pretty bad too don't you?

Me? I've posted one thread on this board and you already have zero trust in my opinion? Whatever.

Here's the deal though. You came to a board that exists only to discuss food and drink to say you don't like a big part of what we discuss and enjoy here. You asked for reasons why things are the way they are and got some answers that you didn't even acknowledge. It shouldn't be a shock though that the majority of responses have some disdain for your comments. How do you think it would go if you went to the Money Board and ask about the best way to declare bankruptcy so you can get out of your student loans?

What a shite hole. You didn't need to go into that long story to tell us that fine dining wouldn't make it there.
