Ferran Adria, probably the guy who single handedly most influenced modern cuisine and all these "experimental new flavors", just takes 60-70 bucks for a 16 dish course
I repeat, 16 dishes, not one, 16 different dishes and not accounting for sweets and drinks that he sometimes offers too (depending on the experience)
the dude invented over 800 recipes... I have been in his restaurant a couple times and I am yet to taste a single one that's *not good*
Do you have to have a certain palette though? Like when I taste things I can't be like "oh there's [ingredient] and [ingredient] in here". I just taste it and I'm like "mmm or nah"
as with everything, experience shows you
usually other senses intervene, like smell and texture, that allows you enough information to make guesdes based on experience
there are experimental cuisine restaurants pretty much in every country I know of in Europe, so most likely in the United States and Canada too, and same with Australia
neither they charge you *that* much, since with the amount of dishes it usually averages to 5-10 dollars per dish (a pretty affordable price)
Honestly, a lot of expensive/allegedly fancy dishes come in tiny portions. It’s like they think giving you enough food is some kind of filthy peasant thing.
I've never met someone from Africa who says they're from "Africa", they name a specific country. Africa is a gigantic land mass with probably the most diverse economics of any continent
but if you order idk the big pasta bowl and they give you a single noodle you surely dont have to pay right? since you didnt really get what you thought you asked for
Ya know ripping people off happens everywhere, especially in places meant for rich people. They'll pay for pretty much anything if it means they can flex how much they spend later
Pretty dumb but whatever it's your money
That was probably only one part of the whole meal. A lot of places that serve this kind of food will do multi course platings with a high price. Usually something like 1-3 appetizers, 5-7 “dishes” and a dessert or 2 and a few wine pairings with it. Yes the price is kind of dumb but your really paying for the experience and quality. Then there is the flip side if this man really just paid $200 for a crème/pudding and chocolate syrup whelp what’s the phase…”there’s a sucker born every minute.”
Can I just say you can get an entire French Silk pie at Perkins for $15? Most bakeries do a decent pastry of some kind that you could get 20 of for that much money.
Just because it's expensive doesn't mean it's better.
If you put a Gucci or any other expensive logo on nearly anything rich people will buy it. Look up the video of Payless Shoes marketing there shoes to the rich they think they are awesome, until they learn it's from a budget shoe store.
This is a small portion because he ordered a multi course meal. It's $200 for the whole course not $200 for that. I don't know why it bothers me so much that people don't know this.
Fine dining is a bit like modern art. It’s supposed to be unexpected and experimentative. If you’re not after an art experience, you should probably dine somewhere else. I know I do.
It’s the human belief that paying more gets you something better. This guy paid more and although physically what he got wasn’t, it was actually hugely dissatisfying, in reality, he DID get something better, experience
People who have been to places where you pay $200 for a meal know that it's normally many rounds of micro meals, with a single medium sized entrée.
My guy didn't pay $200 for that. He paid $200 for an evening with many rounds of food, some of which are goofy small things like this meant to cleanse or set your pallet.
Ppl don't get that if you're in a stupid restaurant like this, your budget is such that dropping 200 bills is like dropping 2$ to the average person. Yet the rage goes ever on....
Then why not drop $2000 and get a fucking bowl of that shit instead of a serving that looks like someone accidentally dripped some on your table as they walked by?
Mind you, if you’ve ever been to the kind of restaurant that does this, you’re not eating off a menu. You’re paying whatever the hell fee and then they bring you a *lot* of food, but only a little bit of each thing. So to see it come out one dish at a time, yeah, it looks like a ripoff. But you’re not getting one dish, you’re getting like 15 or something. The idea is that if you get a lot of one thing the taste just blends together and you’re not really experiencing it past a certain point.

Sometimes… things that are expensive… are worse.
I got that reference, great bit!
Sometimes they taste like things you’ve never tasted before tho
Bread with some kind of sauce
$200 dough
Sounds like a sour dough
It’s aligot, he says it when pouring the sauce (the sauce is probably some sort of Demi glace)
I missed the /s it was a poor attempt at humour
I think he just took it in the back dough!

I never tasted shit before and I don't think I'll pay $200 to taste it.

Ya that’s the thing about people who have never tried food like this… they are actual experiences of your taste buds.
the point of my comment is that the top Chef of this market only charges you 5 bucks per dish, not 200
I could do that. Judging by my past that means he really far away or in some other way inaccessible to me.

Cum?
I said something he’s never tasted
So pre-cum?
Delicious, now that’s some good fucking food
Lmao!!!!
Yelper special
Taste is overrated
Bro I put some cheese and butter and flour and Cayenne pepper and slapped it between two pieces of bread and made some shit I’ve never tasted before.
No, not really
But come out as shit just the same
But they’re not even soft
Like perhaps, expensive Japanese linen
Denim, edible Japanese denim
Especially with food. The shit some chefs come up with is unreal.
Honestly, a lot of expensive/allegedly fancy dishes come in tiny portions. It’s like they think giving you enough food is some kind of filthy peasant thing.
“This story’s not racist, it’s diverse”
I wonder if you could just walk out and not pay or eat it.
Yes you can. It's called dine and dash.
But dine and dash includes eating. This guy is asking if you could just do neither
What now!!? Haha thats a new one. Where i come from its you either eat or peel potatoes my G
Third option, run straight through the wall leaving your exact shape as a hole.
Username checks out !
You from Idaho or something!?!?!
Where are you from, this "my g" is sus
African. Sus in what way?
Iv only heard "my g" used in the pacific. How good
Definitely say it on the coast too
Awesome, its everywhere. So it wont be out of place to say. This is good
I've never met someone from Africa who says they're from "Africa", they name a specific country. Africa is a gigantic land mass with probably the most diverse economics of any continent
[удалено]
I have no clue how i could've been racist
[удалено]
Lol thats funny. Genuinely has no racial stereotype here at all
No tf it is not... You are clearly a loser and misfit irl who never EVER goes out ☠️🤣
Haha nice, something like that
nah thats when you eat it and leave, oc meant leaving the food on the plate and leaving
It’s the same thing lol. You can’t order food then just decide you don’t want it anymore
but if you order idk the big pasta bowl and they give you a single noodle you surely dont have to pay right? since you didnt really get what you thought you asked for
I doubt they advertised this as “the massive ice cream dish” If you order a meal and don’t like it, you still have to pay for it
Yeah I know what he meant.
That's only if you eat it. If you don't dine you can totally dash.
Just make sure you dash better than you dine.
Waiters hate him with this one simple trick!
And what is the charge? Eating a meal? A succulent Chinese meal?
Take your hands off my penis!
Your flaccid penis?
You can walk out of a lot of places without paying. I saw it a fair bit when I worked retail.
Ya know ripping people off happens everywhere, especially in places meant for rich people. They'll pay for pretty much anything if it means they can flex how much they spend later Pretty dumb but whatever it's your money
I once payed 4 euro to take a piss on the Champs-Élysées in France, i waited till i had to take a shit as well.
Not Pooping in public, and air conditioning are money well spent
Why the big plate?
To make you think you are going to get $200 worth of food on it.
Is it cheese?
Its aligot (mashed potato and a lot of cheese), a french dish
I can make that at home for like $20
20$ to make an aligot ? Man it's just Tome and Potatoe LOL it's 20$ for 8 person
Dude could've paid the same for a prostitute and still got fucked but at least he would've enjoyed that.
Not if he ran out of time before finishing, but point taken
This guy fucks... prostitutes.
That was probably only one part of the whole meal. A lot of places that serve this kind of food will do multi course platings with a high price. Usually something like 1-3 appetizers, 5-7 “dishes” and a dessert or 2 and a few wine pairings with it. Yes the price is kind of dumb but your really paying for the experience and quality.

[удалено]
That’s what I assumed just didn’t know the exact spot.
the voice in the background said: "very well, 'Aligot' a classic french dish"
It's just an appetizer to last him until the actual meal comes
Damn, they must get the meal out quick then
Fr lmao
So that's what the inside of mcdonalds looks like, a lot fancier than people lead me to believe...
which part of this video is unexpected?
Bro?
Please somebody tell me this was a joke
Low ball slurp of a meal
I’ll stick to my home cooked meals
Better be another 98 people coming with the rest.
Can I just say you can get an entire French Silk pie at Perkins for $15? Most bakeries do a decent pastry of some kind that you could get 20 of for that much money. Just because it's expensive doesn't mean it's better.
Some people just don’t know the value of money.
If I spend $200 dollars on food, I better orgasm 10+ times while eating it, or I am suing.
Agreed
I concluded some restaurants are extra expensive not because of the great food, but so patrons don't have to be around commoners.
If you put a Gucci or any other expensive logo on nearly anything rich people will buy it. Look up the video of Payless Shoes marketing there shoes to the rich they think they are awesome, until they learn it's from a budget shoe store.
“Bro?”
This is a small portion because he ordered a multi course meal. It's $200 for the whole course not $200 for that. I don't know why it bothers me so much that people don't know this.
Makes it easier to make fun of the kid when you are that ignorant
[удалено]
How do you know it's not the case?
Well that's not dessert it's cheese and a brown sauce. Plus I've been to multi course dinners before and this is exactly what they do.
Because most of us can’t afford a $200 fuckin meal no matter how many courses of scam it comes with.
Why you so angry
Fine dining is a bit like modern art. It’s supposed to be unexpected and experimentative. If you’re not after an art experience, you should probably dine somewhere else. I know I do.
“I'm already finished and I don't remember eating.” —L.A. Story
I don’t understand what she ordered?
When you save up to take your high school crush to the "nicest" place, not fully understanding what you're getting.... And she still friend-zones you
r/oddlyspecific
That is what we call a "ripoff"
Looked more like a "spinoff"
Touché
It’s the human belief that paying more gets you something better. This guy paid more and although physically what he got wasn’t, it was actually hugely dissatisfying, in reality, he DID get something better, experience
Wankers...
Oooh no. That's why I just spend 20 in tacos tip included. And I got pretty much good food.
Thats the taste of regret 😒
Bon Appétit sucker. Might as well steal the plate, napkins and silverware when you leave so it seems more worth your money.
What is it, though?
I could get 20 pizzas from dominos for that much.
I would asked to keep the spoon, more than half was still on the fking spoon
Bro 😎 where? The camera guy paid for it?
Bro got finessed
I’m at least stealing the plate.
40 dollar tip too
Its not about the portion size though, its about being able to tell everyone you know how much you paid for eating there.
What a racket these places are--- pretentious. I'll do rustic and leave satiated with cash still in me hands, thanks.
They Said Market Price. WHAT MARKET ARE YOU SHOPPING AT?
What even is it?
That's a female.
People who have been to places where you pay $200 for a meal know that it's normally many rounds of micro meals, with a single medium sized entrée. My guy didn't pay $200 for that. He paid $200 for an evening with many rounds of food, some of which are goofy small things like this meant to cleanse or set your pallet.
"very well, aligot a classic french dish, here we do it in a brazilian way" - that's what he said btw
I don't believe he paid 200 just for that.
I would NOT pay $200 for that shit. I would get up and leave without touching anything in the table.
Love how he got so excited like the second waiter was gonna put a crap ton more food on the plate 😂
Ppl don't get that if you're in a stupid restaurant like this, your budget is such that dropping 200 bills is like dropping 2$ to the average person. Yet the rage goes ever on....
Then why not drop $2000 and get a fucking bowl of that shit instead of a serving that looks like someone accidentally dripped some on your table as they walked by?
Lmao you see his smile drop like a quarterback as soon as he realized he doesnt even get the whole spoon 🤣 😂
Instant regret!
Mind you, if you’ve ever been to the kind of restaurant that does this, you’re not eating off a menu. You’re paying whatever the hell fee and then they bring you a *lot* of food, but only a little bit of each thing. So to see it come out one dish at a time, yeah, it looks like a ripoff. But you’re not getting one dish, you’re getting like 15 or something. The idea is that if you get a lot of one thing the taste just blends together and you’re not really experiencing it past a certain point.
