[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Checking out a new restaurant they just opened online and their menu says they charge the following:

$20 for 8 wings
$21 for a burger
$18 for a burratta appetizer
$16 for fried green tomatoes
$16+ for every salad
$15+ for every cocktail
$7-9 for every beer 
$12 bread appetizer
$25+ at a minimum for any entree

[b]Has anyone else given up on dining out? [/b] Prices are now astronomically stupid.  Nearly $200 or over for dining out is now a minimum.  What are these places going to do if there's ever a significant recession and people really start to give up on these prices?  Two beers and friggin burger now run you $50 if you just want to watch the game at a bar area. Ridiculous. And this isn't even remotely close to any kind of finer dining.

It's really shocking how much restaurants are overpriced in the US.  You can travel to Asia and get amazing for for $1-10 per dish, and even when you count for purchasing power parity, they spend way lower relative to income on dining out in Asia.  Why does the US love to gouge the crap out of consumers? [/quote]

Yes-ish. I'll still go out for a lunch with a friend or an occasion dinner - birthday, end of school, etc. but the days of "I don't want to cook, should we go out" are now few and far between.[/quote]
