y‘all are talking crazy about a place youre never going to get to eat at, what are y‘all so mad about that they turned plant based. its about skill challenging yourself and elevating your cooking, not being „sigma and alpha🤓“ and hating on vegan cuisine just bc you like to eat meat
Do you think you are educating people by letting them know there are cheaper meals than a 3 michelin star meal? The point of such a meal is not to save money on a quick bite, obviously. It’s to have a an entire experience that you definitely CAN NOT get for $3. These arguments that people make about it being expensive are idiotic lol. No shit it’s expensive. A luxury suite at the superbowl is also expensive. You can still see the game and sit in the nose bleeds. It’s the same game, right? Totally different experience though.
Hats off to the vision of this restauranteur who despite securing 3 Michelin stars decided to make the drastic shift to a plant based menu! While his courage is refreshing his actions speak louder than most for his kindness to animals and the planet. He was featured in Netflix - “You are what you eat” documentary!
It's not about there being a dead animal involved weird guy, it's about certain things being worth more and costing more but you're just trying to convince yourself you didn't waste your money
I guess you don’t realize that in a restaurant like this you are paying for the service and the huge volume of staff it takes to run the restaurant. You are not just simply paying for the ingredients of the food. I would bet that food cost is a small fraction of total dinner cost at a 3 michelin star restaurant, whether that restaurant services animal products or not.
You're paying for artistry and the curated dining experience.. but it's not accessible to the general public so the cririque is understandable. You'll probably get more value going to your local farmers market and cooking these vegetables fresh with your typical diet at home.
The point is there is a lot of effort to obtain caviar, which is available in smaller abundance (not my thing though). And You cannot readily recreate the animal from which meat is taken - immediately - like you can a plant. And there is quite a bit of effort going after fish/lobster, etc. you can continuously grow vegetables in a greenhouse or hydroponically. So the cost of the raw materials to make the meal are significantly lower, a fraction, of the cost to procure animal materials for a meal. Your getting completely fleeced by the hype surrounding the meal. But heh, people pay thousands for ugly ass shirts that have designer labels in them too.
Absolutely not. I wouldn’t pay that for a meal with actual substance to it either, which this one severely lacks. The portions are tiny, the actual dishes themselves do not looks the least appetizing, and then to put a $400 price tag on it, without a 20% tip… total highway robbery. I guess if you have the money to throw away, but even then it would seem ridiculously opulent and ultimately wasteful.
I told my sugar baby that a $3 tote bag can carry all of her $hit just as well as the damn $100,000 Birkin Bag; but she still insists on me buying it for her. Well, I guess I am going to have to go get me a new sugar baby. LOL!!!
Yeah but the rich people need to earn their paycheques so they can wear their fancy clothes to work at their fancy restaurant and drive home in their fancy cars.
My wife and I went there a few years ago; long before it became vegan. The food was really good. Btw, afterwards, I tried not to $hit out about $1,300 worth of food & services for a while. LOL!!!
