My bipolar meds, without insurance, are $800 a month. I have yet to slap a bitch at work so I would say they’re worth it so far.

Worth it? Definitely. Especially since I didn’t pay for any of it. This was all professional training as a fine dining server.

I once used $1k caviar as a topping for a Papa John’s pizza. It was delicious.

Frozen green beans from Costco. They were contaminated with listeria–there was a recall–and I was one of the lucky ones that got to have a stay in the hospital. The CT showed that the blood was just because the constant shitting had stripped the lining out of my colon. The hospital never got a culture, just gave me a bunch of antibiotics, so the law firm that was handling the recall told me to fuck off with my hospital bills.

1/10, would not repeat.

I ate at a 9 course meal at a Michelin star restaurant a few days ago in Nice, France.

This was the menu:

It cost us 658€. It was good.

The first dessert course left me in stitches because I thought it was so over the top:

Overall it was worth it for the experience and each course was very flavourful.

Lobster probably. Ocean cockroaches have the perfect texture to put flavored butter in your mouth. Particularly love lobster rolls with some nice herbs. Crazy how we like ocean roaches so much we’ve made them expensive.

As a kid I liked to chew random stuff, (and tbh as an adult too, but I control myself by chewing socially acceptable stuff!) and I once chewed on some fancy curtains were pretty big and covered a big bay window, and my parents had to replace them. I don’t know how much they were but it couldn’t have been cheap.

As far as dollar amount, probably some meal with my girlfriend. We don’t do fancy but usually have one nice meal on a vacation.

But as a percentage of my income - something called Bonzai Chicken I ordered for $70 on my honeymoon back in the 90s. I made $7/hr at the time. I didn’t know it had curry in it or that I was allergic to curry. I spent the remainder of my honeymoon sick as a dog.

250 per plate meal at Hell’s Kitchen in Vegas.

The beef wellington is exactly as good as it looked on TV. The scallops were even better.

Kobe Beef in Kobe, Japan.

Best beef I ever had. Not worth it though. I didn’t realize how loaded my friend was when she suggested it to me, so I ended up reserving for 4 people before checking the prices.

I did spend 700$ eating sushi one time though. That time was worth it. For any sushi lovers planning a Japan trip - Stay out of the main cities and go for the coast. The best sushi is far from Tokyo/Kyoto/Osaka.

On a business trip, a local colleague took me for the (reputed) best Peking duck in Hong Kong - it was somewhere in the Central district, on the island itself.

I can’t remember how much it cost, but I know my colleague had to book three weeks in advance, and confirm 48 hours in advance that we were indeed having the duck.

It was fantastic. As an Aussie, I never truly appreciated properly cooked duck until then.

I just got done eating dippin’ dots.

I’ve been to several Michelin places, usually around $300 - $400 per person without wine. Definitely worth it for the quality, creativity, and experience.

I’ve already had A5 Kobe at around $60 an ounce, and caviar around $250 an ounce. Both worth it for an occasional splurge.

I also had a glass of a 1967 Bordeaux (don’t remember which one) that I didn’t pay for and it was good, but nothing better than some $50 bottles I’ve had before. Granted I’m not a wine expert or anything so maybe it’s quality was lost on me.

I was taken to a very expensive steak restaurant once, and while others got more expensive cuts I got a 10 oz California sirloin aged 8 years in house.

I love steak, I loved steak, I will always love steak, but every steak from that day has to measure up to that one and never will.

I’m so glad I had the experience, but I don’t have $280 to blow on steak each time I want it lol.
