I will throw in a props for Mortons Charlie...couple hundred dollars should go ok there.

Might save that one for our anniversary this year.. If we dont spend it in gatlinburg like we have the last 3 years......

Lol, Gatlinburg is like cheapest ofthe cheap vacations. We rent at the wilderness atthe smokiesin sevierville where the kids have that huge indoor water park and play for a few days.. usually less than 2k total forthe timewe go down there..

Hahahahahaha 2k! Homie I didn't spend 2k going to Austin for 4 days, rental car, hotel, food, motorcycle race tickets 3 days, and flights for 2.

Chef at Outback makes about $10 per hour and could care less about medium well, plus the cuts of steak are about the same as your local Kroger butcher shop.
Chef at Jeff Ruby's graduated from Bellarmine with a Culinary Arts degree and makes about $25 an hour plus the cuts of steak are aged beef that melts in your mouth. The mac and cheese is all prepared there and not out of a Sysco box.
When you have a meal prepared by a true chef and not an 18 year old kid, there is a big difference. You pay for what you get. Just like that $10 Casio vs. a $5K Omega

This. There is a huge difference not only in the quality and preparation of a steak but also the skill of the kitchen staff between a fairly inexpensive chain restaurant and a good steak house. Doesn’t mean those outback steaks aren’t good, but they aren’t on the same level as Jeff Ruby’s or Eddie Merlot’s.

I paid $350 for Livewife and I to eat at The Top of the World Restaurant in the stratosphere in Vegas.

The meal was amazing and the view was even better. The restaraunt rotates and you get a 360° view of Vegas lights.

It would have been cheaper without alcohol but it was a one time thing.

We have gone over this before and you have chided people about it and how much they spent. I will relate ours and cry fowl if you want but I don't give a flip, its my money, I will do what I want with it. And yes it was in Louisville, I consider it a bright spot in the thorns :/.

For the 25th anniversary, I asked for recommendations here for some nice place to go. A consensus was MORTONS in downtown Louisville. It was on a weekday so I called that day and made reservations, they said it would be no problem and asked if it was a special occasion so I told them. We got there probably at 630 and had valet parking and were only two or three tables occupied inside when we entered. I told them our names and they said they had been waiting for us. They took us to the table and gave us a Personalized menu with our names on it and 25th Anniversary and all printed on it. Really nice stuff. They didn't charge for it, they just did it.

We each had a nice perfectly cooked steak, I think we had like 4 sides total (they charge everything ala carte) and then we had a dessert each. We also each had a couple of cocktails early in the meal. (no gravely expensive bottle of champagne, just a couple normal type drinks). In between the meal and dessert, they came out and took a picture of us together and went back and printed a large print of it and put it in a folder for us to keep to commemorate the occasion (no charge for the picture). It was a nice experience and we were there for a while.

The total for the food was like 375 and we gave the waitress a 75 dollar tip. So the whole meal was $450 total paid. I paid cash. We were stuffed and just slightly buzzed so afterward we walked over to some artsy museum next door and wandered around for a while til it was no problem to go home.

I could have really cared less about doing all that but the wife loved it and enjoyed it and its a lasting memory for her as well. A nice night out on the town, so for her memory, it was worth it as well.

(to relate it to gun stuff, I have the same amount of money in a collapsible FN FAL stock, that is sitting somewhere in my house and now of no use to me as I sold my FAL to a friend of mine who just had to have it).

Wife and I went to Morton's last year right after a play. Told them it was our anniversary and we got the same treatment, it was fantastic. We spent well close to $500, including a $100 tip. The wine did not stop flowing till we left. 10/10 would do again.

Bs again. They are made of very different materials. A Porsche has leather and suede interior and carbon fiber pcs that make it lighter and the engine has titanium on it for instance and a Mustang has playschool plastic interior, and basic aluminum used for things that some is even steel. These are just a few differences among many where they aren't physically the same.

There’s a lot of difference in a steak on your plate from outback and from Eddie Merlot’s.
Cars all have 4 wheels and an engine. Steak all comes from a cow. It’s everything after that point that makes the difference.

But my point still stands...you’ve never even tried one to make that call. So it’s no different than me saying my Malibu gets me from point a to point b absolutely fine so even though I’ve never driven a Porsche anyone who buys one is just fucking stupid because there’s just no reason to spend that much on a car to accomplish the same thing that my less expensive car does just fine.

A car gets me where I need to go whether it’s cheap or expensive.
A steak fills me up and comes out as poop no matter how much it costs.
But is the experience and enjoyment the same at different price levels of either? No.

A lot of things wrong with this reply. First I still haven't said it didn't taste good or reference the quality of the steak one time. I have only referenced the price for the steak and that it is just a cow. A car is used for lots of things other than point a to b, such as racing, car shows, and investments (plenty of cars go up in value before you say or think of depreciation). A steak is bought and that is the end. The experience part and enjoyment level I did experience and you are not right about that for me either. I did have the same exact experience as everyone else in the place and it was weak as fuck. Actually weaker than other steak houses because it played some foo foo ass 30's music and had the same 20yr old waiters with pony tails and hand tattoos that would work at a Denny's. That is a fact and I would rather be at the steak houses I go to or a sports bar with tv's playing sports and working class people like myself any day over that one and that is my truth. I can't be told that I like the other one because the food cost more nor does the food costing more make anything better for me and quite the opposite. I have been changed as a person from this lol and my mind is blown that people pay this much for food. I really didn't have a clue of that. Repeating over and over that I don't care what people spend their money on and I'm not trying to stop them gets really old but one last time to make my point clearer. I just can't believe they do and I am shocked that more people do, especially when I hear these people are in debt etc. and complain about money. I never thought that food COULD EVEN cost that much is my point and my only point. This isn't a call to people to stop doing it or that I am giving out spending instructions.

Lot of things wrong with your reply as well. First production cars (or Outback level cars) do not do much more than get you from point a to b. If you want to race, car show or use as an investment you have to put the time and money into it as an investment (IE you have to be the Chef for your car) so therefore the experience and enjoyment is part of the investment in either a suped up car or a top notch steak.. Your basic off the line kroger steak is = to your basic off the line geo metro. neither bring much fun or excitement without a little spice....

Lot of things wrong with your reply as well. First production cars (or Outback level cars) do not do much more than get you from point a to b. If you want to race, car show or use as an investment you have to put the time and money into it as an investment (IE you have to be the Chef for your car) so therefore the experience and enjoyment is part of the investment in either a suped up car or a top notch steak.. Your basic off the line kroger steak is = to your basic off the line geo metro. neither bring much fun or excitement without a little spice....

Everything you just said here is completely wrong. So wrong I won't even spend time correcting this one.

Chef at Outback makes about $10 per hour and could care less about medium well, plus the cuts of steak are about the same as your local Kroger butcher shop.
Chef at Jeff Ruby's graduated from Bellarmine with a Culinary Arts degree and makes about $25 an hour plus the cuts of steak are aged beef that melts in your mouth. The mac and cheese is all prepared there and not out of a Sysco box.
When you have a meal prepared by a true chef and not an 18 year old kid, there is a big difference. You pay for what you get. Just like that $10 Casio vs. a $5K Omega

This. There is a huge difference not only in the quality and preparation of a steak but also the skill of the kitchen staff between a fairly inexpensive chain restaurant and a good steak house. Doesn’t mean those outback steaks aren’t good, but they aren’t on the same level as Jeff Ruby’s or Eddie Merlot’s.

this from the guy who won’t even try an expensive steak to know if there is a difference.

I’m not going to drive a Porsche because I know a mustang is just as good and there’s no reason anyone should ever spend that kind of money on a car.

Bs again. They are made of very different materials. A Porsche has leather and suede interior and carbon fiber pcs that make it lighter and the engine has titanium on it for instance and a Mustang has playschool plastic interior, and basic aluminum used for things that some is even steel. These are just a few differences among many where they aren't physically the same.

There’s a lot of difference in a steak on your plate from outback and from Eddie Merlot’s.
Cars all have 4 wheels and an engine. Steak all comes from a cow. It’s everything after that point that makes the difference.

But my point still stands...you’ve never even tried one to make that call. So it’s no different than me saying my Malibu gets me from point a to point b absolutely fine so even though I’ve never driven a Porsche anyone who buys one is just fucking stupid because there’s just no reason to spend that much on a car to accomplish the same thing that my less expensive car does just fine.

A car gets me where I need to go whether it’s cheap or expensive.
A steak fills me up and comes out as poop no matter how much it costs.
But is the experience and enjoyment the same at different price levels of either? No.

A lot of things wrong with this reply. First I still haven't said it didn't taste good or reference the quality of the steak one time. I have only referenced the price for the steak and that it is just a cow. A car is used for lots of things other than point a to b, such as racing, car shows, and investments (plenty of cars go up in value before you say or think of depreciation). A steak is bought and that is the end. The experience part and enjoyment level I did experience and you are not right about that for me either. I did have the same exact experience as everyone else in the place and it was weak as fuck. Actually weaker than other steak houses because it played some foo foo ass 30's music and had the same 20yr old waiters with pony tails and hand tattoos that would work at a Denny's. That is a fact and I would rather be at the steak houses I go to or a sports bar with tv's playing sports and working class people like myself any day over that one and that is my truth. I can't be told that I like the other one because the food cost more nor does the food costing more make anything better for me and quite the opposite.

I am mildly amused by the turn in this thread.

As i mentioned earlier, our dinner for 4 was $1,000, and that was less than we paid for the concert tickets, and definitely less than we paid for the hotel rooms. Actually, the cheapest part of the weekend was the airfare LOL. This was a bucket list weekend.

The decor and ambiance were great, the service excellent and well informed, the wine pairing perfect and the food absolutely fabulous. All what i would expect, and demand, for this kind of non-chump-change.

The point of the weekend was not just a good meal, it was making a memory. The weekend was planned 7 months in advance, but life happens. It ended up being only 6 weeks after my sister and brother in law lost a son at 19, and was the first time they went out and did something for themselves. We all needed it, badly.

The meal was part of the experience, and we enjoyed ourselves immensely. Was it expensive? Yep. Could we have obtained sustenance at McDonalds for $10? Yep. But could we have had the same experience? Nope.

For me, keeping things in perspective is important. Going to very high end places is as much or more for the experience as it is for the food.

The value of the experience we had, and the memory we made? Priceless!!!!!

The experience was worse for me. Borderline awful. I have heard a few in here basically equate the amount you spend to the amount of enjoyment that is had. I very much disagree. I won't argue you all had a good time but it was playing swing music in a mostly quiet restaurant. That isn't my thing and getting a bill with extra 0's don't make it so.

The most raced car in the world is a miata. Premium? 100k spent on even the scca ones? No not even close. You can race anything you want. There are 24 hours of lemons races where the cars are under $500 and so on and so on. I very much disagree with your analogy but it is yours.

Annnd a miata is considered a sports car (insurance and purchase wise) it is not a base family car for going from point a to b.... but hey thats just a technicality isnt it..... It is purpose built as an entry level sports car....
