Most expensive thing you\'ve ever ate/drank?
 
Can't think of an interesting OP right now, so uh, lets just have it high rollers.

Tell us the times you've spent grubbing up truffles and drinking hennessy timeless....

Most of a bottle of JW Blue Label. Wish I could've said a bottle of Cristal.

$25 for a patron margarita.

I've had meals in the $100-$150 per person range, nothing very expensive.

I've had Cristal. It tasted like absolute crap to me. I would have rather had a PBR or Natty or something. Then again I don't like Champagne/Wine/etc

Cristal after high school graduation because my friends and I are idiots. 250$ a bottle I think I paid.

Good thing my taste isn't refined enough to enjoy really expensive food.

A $0.65 fountain drink that ended up costing me $30.65 after an unexpected overdraft due to a netflix monthly charge (random timing)that I didnt know of.

I believe a Chateau Brion entree I ordered a couple of months ago was about $90.

If we are talking drinks at a bar/club this is definately my case. My buddy (anonymous 2+2er) took a bunch of us out after a good night and we drank some handles of kettle for 200 a pop. If we are talking most expensive, as in from a store, I had some JW blue label and it was amazing.

Louis XIV

Shot of that was $140 at the bar I worked at. And once had a meal that cost me 100 (my share).

The Louis tasted like any other cognac.

eh, I would hope they at least gave it to you in a nice snifter and not in a shot glass. I mean, honestly, who takes shots of cognac?

It was. I've seen people drink tequila in a snifter too. Oh! I've had a 30 dollar shot of tequila... can't remeber the name but it was very smooth.

Looking back... wtf was I thinking wasting this money away?!

10-24-2005 04:59 AM

Re: Most expensive thing you\'ve ever ate/drank?
 
Things that were worth the money:
Cristal champagne
Kobe beef carpacio
Black truffle on brie.

Things that were not worth the money:
Uni - gross and tasted bad
Any and all expensive vodka - Make no impression on me.

Re: Most expensive thing you\'ve ever ate/drank?
 
Never had a shot over $6, a drink over $15, or a meal over $50.

I think I lose.

Re: Most expensive thing you\'ve ever ate/drank?
 
Guess it was a formal event that was about 500/head, 800/couple. Lots of great food, great wine, etc. But I didn't pay for that, so it doesn't count.

As far as what I've paid for myself...200-dollar bottle of Dom for New Year's...any meal at Al Biernat's in Dallas sets you back several buy-ins (at Backgammon or whatever game you happen to play).

Nobu in las vegas.
Served 'new sashimi' style. Sliced very thin, spread on a plate, garnished with raw onion and greens, then drizzled with very hot oil. It's not on the menu, but if they have it in on hand they will make it for you. (or maybe it helps to know people who work there [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img])

I ate about $800 worth of beluga caviar at a party last may. Lots of vodka too, but that was only Belvedere.

30yo laphroig is probably most expensive thing, a friend had a bottle which costs around $500 I think.

I have had similar at both Nobu & Ubon (London)...I have had some excellent food there...When I have eaten there, I couldn't tell u the most expensive things I have eaten as I never look at bill or prices...I just eat the food (Work Expenses)...

Cristal - well over-rated...DP 95 much better...

I would have put caviar under the not worth is list as I find it nasty by itself, but it's ok in small doses on some dishes. (scrambled eggs)

diebitter 10-24-2005 08:47 AM

Re: Most expensive thing you\'ve ever ate/drank?
 
The only place I ate caviar I liked was Stockhom. (well it was fish eggs really). They sold it from little booths in the park, on top of some sort of hard fried pancake/bread and soft cheese. Great

My most expensive meal was at Paul Bocuse's L'Auberge du Pont de Collonges in Lyon.
The meal was about $300 per person (not including the wine which was about $100). The best part of the meal was an unbelievable black truffle soup. I'll also add a picture of the place beacause it is so beautiful:
