I went to lunch with a couple friends yesterday, 3 of us total. We went for sushi at Bluefin sushi in Newport Coast.

I'm embarrassed by how much we spent for lunch. :oops:

As a group? Probably $3k.

Back in the day, my boss asked me where I wanted to go for lunch. It was slow and I didn't feel like working so I said Windsor. That meant naked lady bars, the casino and whatever other shenanigans we found. Three of us ended up going and we spent plenty.

I can go as cheap as $4-7 or as high as $10-14 and not feel guilty.

I went out a few weeks ago and spent $35. The food was good, but I still felt guilty and probably paid $10 too much for my meal considering what I got.

Yeah, I can see that getting really expensive really fast. This place is just a sushi restaurant though, no naked ladies.

Our bill was $350 and we left a $50 tip. :oops:D:

You tipped that little?! I proclaim this to now be a tipping thread where we will all debate whether the tips makes you a terrible person or not. I vote terrible person

I really can't think of an expensive lunch. I'm sure we had a few lunches in Dublin that were over $100 when you factored in drinks. But nothing really sticks out.

Most expensive dinner I ever had was a 7 course meal with a wine pairing at one of the highest end restaurants at the time in downstate IL. Was over $400 for my wife and I.

I'm not the typical ATOT playboy baller, so probably like $15? I barely go out for lunch. I have spent over $100 for dinner, but that was with a hot chick I was planning to ball later on.

Our sushi was cold and our sake was warm. :p

That's 15%. Fuck, all she did was move the food from the sushi bar to our table which was 3' away. She did make a decent martini though. :cool:

most is like $100 for the wife and i. well probably more if you count "lunch" as being at pool bars in vegas all day and eating/drinking all on one tab.

On lunch, probably not all that much. Maybe about $200 for just me; do not really do huge fancy lunches all that often. Dinner on the other hand...

When I'm flush with cash, I may go to restaurants without thought or consideration to what special offers they have or what coupons I have. And there have been many occasions that I did supersize my meal.

Does this count fueling up the Gulfstream for the trip and is this with or without the truffles?

I usually don't keep track of these things, so let me have Hobson check with the accountant and I'll have him get back to you. :whiste:

I have never spent more than 15$ for lunch or 20$ for dinner. any more than that is a waste imho.
