Why is this an outrage? Don’t like it? Don’t eat there.
That’s what the BLM thugs pay? Outrageous.
I don’t and I won’t.
Maitre D’ : I appreciate your understanding.
Ferris: Don’t think twice. It’s understanding that makes it possible for people like us to tolerate a person like yourself.
“This is insanity, driving local public outrage and vows to avoid these establishments: strictly enforced policy of a $100 minimum for each person to dine.”
sounds like a self-correcting problem to me ...
That’s easy to fix - don’t go there.
But Jack Nicholson asking for toast in Five Easy Pieces was not in Chicago.
One man interviewed in the report, Howard Tolsky, booked a dinner online for a well-known downtown steak restaurant and was required to pay a minimum of $300 for three total people just to ensure a table there.
“I figured, well, we’re not going to spend $300,” Tolsky said. “We might spend $250. But I don’t want to spend $300 dollars on a meal that costs $250.” He went elsewhere on that basis, telling CBS-2 that “Now is the time for them to attract customers and not detract them.”
If it’s the steak restaurant I’m thinking it is....$300.00 would be spent, EASILY, for 3 people....if they’re having drinks, appetizers, dinner, sides and desserts.
We’ll see how this works out. An odd opening ‘plan’, for sure.
My observation is that since Covid restaurants and hotels are not up to past standards. Frankly, it cost more and is disappointing. This will impact them negatively in the long run but isn’t that what the deep state wants?!
Knowing a bit about high-end dining in Chicago, I’d pay that $100 minimum. Ir’a not a surcharge, it’s a minimum. A bottle of good French wine, a great dinner, a crepe suzette, and there you go. Great excuse to have the yum dessert you never have because of the calories.
Everything is either global warming’s fault or covid’s fault.
$100 per person? I eat out often. Average bill around $20 per person including the tip. I won’t be patronizing those places.
I had a ham sandwich and some salad for my dinner.
It probably cost about $1 in total.
“Why is this an outrage? Don’t like it? Don’t eat there.”
Thanks for the suggestion; stay in New Orleans - you would be an
unpleasant dining companion.
Thats $100 dollars per person, that results in that person getting nothing worthwhile for that $100.
It’s a dam racket under the guise of “health”.
Denny’s in Eugene.
For $100, I could eat a great steak dinner every night for week, at home, cooked just the way I like it and not have some racist spit on my food because I’m White.
