In reply to the discussion: America's 10 Most Expensive Restaurants [View all]OmahaBlueDog
(10,000 posts)33. I suppose spending $1,200 on a meal for two is no stranger than other hobbies
..for some, it's going to Disney World
..for some it's Vegas
..for some, it's golf
..for some, it's fishing or hunting
Personally (and I love to eat out), I just can't see one place on that list I'd go out of my way to dine. I like food, but I'm not a foodie.
I love the Chart House in Portland, Oregon in part for its food, but mostly for it's stunning view that you get to enjoy during the meal.
My favorite steakhouse is Myril Arch's Cattleman's Club in Pierre, SD. There's sawdust on the floor; the salad comes in Tupperware, and it's difficult to spend $20 on a meal there -- but the steak is delicious and there's a nice view of the river (across the highway).
If you offered me one place to eat in Chicago, it'd be Lou Malnati's.
