Is Arnaud's Cauliflower au Vin worth $30?

No vegetable dish should ever be that much unless it has truffles all over it. And I think truffles are a scam add on.

Arnaud's other sides range from $7 to $15.

I've eaten there in the past, but I don't recall seeing the cauliflower on the menu, hence the question.

I found a photo of it, but I'm still not entirely sure what I'm looking at.



I'm assuming this is their intended vegan entree offering, but I think it's kinda BS when places price their vegan entrees like meat dishes unless they actually have expensive ingredients in them.

Looks like a "steak" of the cauliflower head, cross-section of celery root and an eggplant disc.

OK, that's three dumb ways to say the same thing...I'll sit in the corner a bit.

You're no longer paying for the food. You're paying to hang out in a fancy restaurant. If something is slightly more difficult to make or popular to order, there will be a surcharge.

If you want to order cauliflower, go to Domenica and get the whole one with feta dip.

I do like the atmosphere at Arnaud's but I would rather go to Galatoire's.
