Okay, so I've completed a portion of the training at my new job and we all went out to dinner tonight.
You know the kind of dinner right? Everyone at the table knows that none of us are paying for dinner and only one person knows exactly how much we're allowed to spend and he slowly gets more and more nervous as the evening progresses. 🤣🤣🤣
Appetizers went with the servers suggestions because we were all too busy talking about the week to look at the menu.
[b][i][c=003BB2]"Angry Shrimp"[/c][/i][/b] Two plates ordered. Spicy hot but very nicely done and balanced. I liked. [sep]
[b][i][c=003BB2]"Tuna Tartare"[/c][/i][/b] I'm not generally a fan of tartares but I did try a little. It was okay. [sep]
[b][i][c=003BB2]"American Wagyu Carpaccio"[/c][/i][/b] What can I say... Manna from heaven![/center][/quote]
This was a steak house, but really high end. If you're thinking Capital Grille or Morton's, then you're not thinking high enough. A filet was $75, the bone-in ribeye was $92. They even offered this like cave man thing that came from the kitchen on a hook, was seared at the table, then cut and served. It was $260. No, we didn't get that.
[b][i][c=003BB2]"Truffle Mac 'n Cheese" [/c][/i][/b] The sides were all family style for the table. This one was ... amazing ... yes, I know I over use that word, but this time I really mean it.
[b][i][c=BF0000]"Sara's Plate" [/c][/i][/b] As I said, I ordered the filet, medium rare (as the chef suggested). The mashed potatoes were from another of the family style sides. I had those and some of the truffle mac 'n cheese and I also had some asparagus. [/center][/quote]
Yes, we ordered dessert as well but I didn't get pics. I shared a "skillet chocolate chip cookie topped with vanilla ice cream. I think I had two bites.
Right now I'm so full I'm gonna need to run two marathons tomorrow!
That's what I did tonight. What did you do?

@sarabee1995 [image deleted] The Japanese A5 Wagyu Tomahawk is served at Aragawa in Tokyo and goes for $1,000 on the menu. You can get a meal there for as little as $440 per person, but it won’t include this Kobe Beef Wagyu specialty.
@sarabee1995 I can’t imagine paying that much for food. I’ve only been to a super expensive restaurant, a couple of times and I wasn’t paying. I just always felt super nervous. Not my scene at all. But definitely an experience. 😊
@sarabee1995 that’s my guess too. Or people with big money… movie stars, musicians, and models (like real models that do high fashion, not my catalog bullshit. lol) And in even with that it may be the studio or labels.
