Would you pay $40 for a half chicken at a restaurant?

The price of eating out in Brooklyn seems to have set off an energetic debate. WWYD?

| Absolutely not. Especially because I'm weird about chicken on the bone and end up eating less than what most eat. |

| Yes. I've paid more even. *shrugs* No regrets. |

| This is probably why Rosedale on CT Ave came and went. Mediocre food and $38 for half a chicken plus a service fee - not including tip. |

| Tbh that seems normal |

| No way. And I also see pasta prices in the 30-40 range and that is insane. |

| Impossible to answer without knowing what the chicken ate and whether he had friends and was happy. |

| No, because chicken is one of the very few things I'm capable of cooking well at home. |

I would if it is at a top restaurant that made that chicken taste like heaven.
For instance, if it was served by Chef Boulud. |

I also never order chicken out. It's just so, so easy and we eat enough of it on the day to day I prefer to order something that feels more special or complicated. |

You eat out for the taste of food, the occasion, the company and the fact that someone else is making this food and the logistics behind it etc. In a fancy place, it is very rarely to fill your stomach.
So, you don't have to go or you don't have to order. |

| Depends on the price of the steak |

| I would only pay that if it was like the episode of Portlandia where they asked how the chicken was raised and ended up visiting the farm. |
