Re: TRIP REPORT!
[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] A buddy of mine just paid about $600 per head for tasting menu + wine pairing + truffle course at Thomas Keller's new place in NYC. [/ QUOTE ] Per Se. I'll be there in 12 days. I hope I like it as much as French Laundry. [/ QUOTE ] French Laundry was the nutz. There are few better day trips in the US than Nappa Valley vineyards finished with a French Laundry dinner. I haven't been to Per Se yet, but I hear its not that busy. I stopped by for drinks at 10PM and it was dead. I want a full trip report! TT [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

Re: How Much Would You Pay for Dinner?
Nobu is tops, even thought it's kind of a chain now.
I'm a fan of the New Style Sashimi. i don't know what that marinade is, but it's so simple and so [censored] good. The Miso Cod is of course a standard. I like the Rock Shrimp Tempura with whatever spicy creamy sauce comes with it too. Bento box for desert, or watermellon soup in the summer.

Re: How Much Would You Pay for Dinner?
Take the tour of the ktichen if they offer it. It's absolutely unbelievable. It's way bigger than the dining space, which isn't exactly tiny. They have a special room with temperature and hunidity controlled just for chocolate.

The price fluctuates with the season and the availability of certain delicacies. It now stands at $350 a person before tax, tip and sip of sake or bottled water. [/ QUOTE ] Apparently it's white truffle and blowfish season. Bruni in the house

[ QUOTE ] i think it'd be pretty sad if hte best meal you ever ate was from a restaurant. [/ QUOTE ] Huh? [/ QUOTE ] In terms of food quality there you can't expect a home cooked meal to compete. You can argue ambiance (ie christmas with the family) is better but the meal by itself isn't even close. On the other hand the odds of getting decent cooked vegitables at a 50 dollar and under restaurant is almost zero [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

[/ QUOTE ] i've never eaten a meal at a restaurant thats been better than what I or my dad can cook. not meaning i can cook every kind of food better than a restaurant. obviously i go to a sushi place for sushi, but usually the food i enjoy most is food i cook. i'm usually pretty dissapointed with any restaurant that costs more than about 15 bucks for a plate.
