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.

Depends on the price of the steak

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.

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.

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.

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

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

Tbh that seems normal

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.

Nope!!

You don't have to order, you know?

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

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

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