What the hell is a “French Laundry Dinner”?
Gavin Corleone gathers the Family...
This link still works.
How much is a dinner at the French Laundry?
The French Laundry costs $350 per person to dine and there are two set menus, the Chef’s Tasting (meat and seafood) and the Tasting of Vegetables.
It’s 9 courses, not including the opening “appetizers”, aka Amuse Bouche.Jun 27, 2018
The French Laundry is a fancy restaurant.
The French Laundry is a five star restaurant thought to be the best restaurant in the Country. It is super expensive. I wonder who paid for the meal?
A super $$$$ California restraunt that’s increadibly difficult to get into.

Most French people i knew stink not a good name for a resturant
The “do as I say, not as I do” gang.
😂😂😂
Sounds like the same thing that you would get under the sneeze guards of the Golden Corral with fancy names.
They obviously don’t believe their own pronouncements about the dangers of the virus. It instructs is that neither should we.
Yuck.
I would rather enjoy a good meal at my local Mexican and Barbeque Restaurants than that overpriced crap.
If that makes me “low-class”, so be it.
Never encountered that.
When I visited Paris I was disappointed not the encounter the Rude Frenchman, much less a stinky one.
It is possible that they were all on vacation, however.
Lots of them smell like cigarette smoke, though!
Merci
Amen, Sista. Would rather get a rack of ribs, brisket, sausage, sides and cold beer with the wife and pay only 10% of that bill.
Actually it sounds interesting, but not $350 interesting. My tolerance for expensive meals tops out at around $100 per person, maybe once every year or so.
I really prefer good pizza, good burgers (ones you can get medium rare, not fast food), BBQ, etc., though. Sandwiches are my favorite.
That is not right. The fine restaurants that my wife and I dine at have two sets of menus as well... the full price menu and the $1.00 menu that my wife and I order from. Unfortunately, because of the plandemic, this year most of the $1.00 menus became $1.29 menus. We have also been forced to purchase one menu item at the ridiculously high price of $2.29 to get the second item for $1.00 which really comes out to $1.65 a piece... but they typically are a little bigger than what we used to get.
Has the POS Guv apologized yet. Or said I was inadvertently seated inside dinning.
Oh damn I just gave him a good excuse to CYA.
