Demanding people wear a coat and tie to eat your grub is the very definition of snooty. You can create a perfectly fine atmosphere and not worry about how people are dressed. Honestly if you’re paying attention to how the other patrons are dressed, the food probably ain’t that good.
My favorite restaurants tend to be Itaian delis and pizza joints and rib shacks. But diningisn’t always just about the food. Sometimes a lady likes an excuse to dress up for fine dining, but doesn’t want to look out of place. Wedding receptions ard places where people are expected to dress up, and it doesn’t make them snooty Heck even Scripture requires a proper wedding garment to attend the wedding feast.
I see guys at weddings and funerals with t- shirts and jeans!!! Pathetic.
