also we have some of the world's top chefs here. It is not as expensive, solely because we don't have the whole hollywood thing here. The only 2 cities with more restaurants per square block in the world are paris and nyc.
last week a local cheese was named best in the world and every newspaper in france had headlines about how they had failed.

I know right? It's absurd! on top of that we only have one (maybe two, but pretty sure one) 5-star restaurant in LA. How can everything else be that expensive? I do not get.

btw bas i did not mean 200 a plate, but for the whole meal. (minus wine and tip).
EVERY city that doesn't suck has a couple of places like that. I'm not going to lie and say that i eat there everyday, or even more than once a year (if even)...but they are there, and there is no chipotle sauce.

i bet if i bought the same property as you did here it would be less than half of the price.
LA and the basin has a huge population. The general rule is, the more people there are the more expensive it is. If someone does not want to pay, someone else will.
Las Vegas is an exception. 25$ lobster buffet ftw!

Yeah that makes a lot more sense $200/plate...we're talking high end gastronomy places, and I don't think there's many (any) in Miami.

Usually for myself though. I'm the anti-attention whore, I try to dodge the question when people ask when my birthday is! The thought of having people sing happy birthday brings me out in hives...
Usually those 'moments in lives' are an excuse to go away somewhere with the wife. Take a plane and spend a couple of nights in a new city.

i have not seen o0ne anywhere yet.
i know of a place in japan that costs A LOT more (have not been though only heard about it) where you get to fuck the animal before they cook it.
ANY animal.
those nips are crazy. I remember you mentioning a few places you went to, so for a 7+ course meal at a fine dining establishment 200 per person is very fair. Order 7 different things at shitty old outback steakhouse (each) and it will be expensive too.
