$33.00 for two dinners is first class? If you believe that I've got a bridge to sell you in Brooklyn.

By the way,what you spend for dinner is what I spend but I consider it moderate,if not budget,dining.

I have a son who takes me to a first class restaurant with an a la carte menu and we never get out of there for less than $100.00,not including wine.

That's a hoot!!! My bar bill on a Friday afternoon is more than that.

The definition of first class is different for different people. By his own admission Mr. hotshot is a chain restaurant type of guy. Hey, more power to him if that is what he and his Mrs. prefers.

Personally I prefer a bit more character and a bit more personality when it comes to dining out. I was totally shocked the last time we went "out" for dinner - even with a $15 tip it was less than $80 and there were 3 of us and we were eating shrimp, crabs, lobsters and clams.

And we could smoke a cigarette after our meal withut having to go outside.
