    Most chefs even at Michelin stars have a tat or two. You don’t start at the top. Street food is great, but I’d encourage anyone privileged enough to have a nice meal with a loved one at a fancy ass $300 7 course meal.

    The experience is worth it assuming you aren’t sacrificing rent.

      Please help me understand how a 7 course meal doesn’t end in a coma, though. I eat one regular-ass sandwich and am good for like 3 hours

          The best steak I ever had was part of a 12-course menu. It was a finger-size portion of A5 wagyu cooked to a perfect rare, with a huitlacoche-butter sauce.

          And then the pastry chef sent us out five full-size dessert courses because it was a slow night, my wife was also a pastry chef, and the guy wanted her opinion on some dishes he had planned for future menus. Each one was delicious in ways I still struggle to describe but the restaurant staff almost had to roll us out of there Willy Wonka-style afterwards…
