Re: LA Pdml'ers...

You're right about the prices. But it's not the kind of place you visit 
on a regular basis. It's a rare treat. I'm a lifelong cook and my wife 
was a professional pastry chef. If you're really fascinated by food, an 
extravagant meal can be as much a treat as a new lens. And it costs 
almost as much.

OMG, I'm with you Graywolf!  The prices on that menu are what I spend 
on our
entire grocery order for a week - and that is for five of us, and we 
NEVER
dine out! lol...

I think I'll be eating alot of McDonald's, and Subway, and if I'm up 
for it,
I may even splash out for dinner at Sizzler one night! lol...

I once paid $22 for a steak dinner. It was lousy. I once went into a
restaurant
that charged $250 for a steak dinner. They tossed me out because I was 
not
dressed to their satisfaction. Just as well, I did not have $250 in 
the bank
much less on me. Somehow, I don't think you guys eat in the same kinds 
of
restaurants as most of us do.

That's true. At one time, San Francisco was California's first city of
food, but no more. Money has a way of reshaping those kinds of things.
And LA money has made it a major restaurant city. Yet California's and
perhaps America's best restaurant isn't in LA or San Francisco, it's 
up
in the Napa valley town Yountville, and it's called French Laundry. 
Am I
opinionated when it comes to food? You bet :-).. See
