re: What is the most you ever dropped on a single meal while dining out?

Not on my dime but most expensive meal I've participated in was my grandmothers 65th birthday at the Michelin starred dining room in the Ritz Carlton Atlanta. I believe it ended up being around 18-20 courses and wine pairings. Included a pre dessert, a desert course, a chocolate course and a post dessert palate cleanser. I was young and wish I remembered more about the specifics of the meal, but for the 8 of us it came out to over 10k. Absolutely incredible experience and was a very strong factor in paving the way for me getting into fine dining.

A meal we had in Iceland a few years ago was around 2500 American for five of us, great meal but way overpriced for what it was... Everything is insane expensive in Iceland though.
