I like asking questions, as I've said before, so periodically throughout 2010, I'm going to put a question out there for you to answer. It gives me something to read in traffic. Kidding! (Or am I.....)
I was thinking about this question the other day when Jodi mentioned going to the Virginia wine country to enjoy a pricey meal at the Inn at Little Washington. That's a whole lot of money for something you can't physically see or hold an hour after you've paid for it, but good food is important to a good life, that's something Top Chef has taught me (also, bald men can be sexy; call me, Tom Colicchio). I'm trying to eat more things that excite me instead of mindlessly downing an entire bag of Cool Ranch Doritos.
So, in that spirit, what's the most expensive meal you've ever eaten? (And, was it worth it?)
We aren't big dinner splurgers. We don't often go out and drop three digits on a date night, but every now and then for whatever reason, we end up eating a very, very good meal that costs a whole lot of money.
Case in point: Vegas this past October. We went to Nine Fine Irishmen at New York, New York and although the menu wasn't overpriced, we ended up racking up the bill and it cost about $200. (Which we were not expecting or had budgeted for, so that was a fun, here's-your-bill moment.) But the food was INCREDIBLE and DELICIOUS and WORTH EVERY PENNY in hindsight.
Your turn.
