Reply to comment by Dr_Catfish in [OC] Countries with Three Start Michelin Restaurants Since 2007 (Reviews expanded outside of Europe in 2006 but data was not available) by Metalytiq

$5000? Flavored smoke?

Have YOU ever seen a 3 star restaurant? The answer very clearly is a no.

To be fair, I went to Bo Innovation in Hong Kong where I was given meat flavored toothpicks and was asked to "suck the toothpick while imagining the taste of wild duck". Probably one of the most ridiculous meal I've ever had. I went when they were 3 stars - they've been deservedly demoted to 2 stars since.

Hrng, pay hundreds or thousands to eat food off a table.

Hrng, thousands more for a 27 course meal that includes a normal orange, citrus foam in a cast of the chefs mouth and a fish wafer cracker.

Down vote me all you want but your shitty "high quality cuisine" and "fine dining experience" is a waste of time, resources and money.

You can make the dumbed down money argument for literally everything. Pay 10s of thousands more to drive the same box with wheels with a different logo. Pay hundreds more to watch the same thing on a bigger screen. Pay hundreds more to wear a different leather on your feet. Etc etc.

Nobody is forcing you to go to any restaurant if you don't want to. If people do and they enjoy it, which the vast majority does, then just let them be.
