Hmmm. I don't really eat steak or anything "sophisticated" like rare fish and stuff.

There's a place around here that has ridiculously awesome pizza, though. It's pretty pricey. A large 1 topping will run you $13+ tax. After some garlic bread and a few pitchers of beer it's usually well over $20 even for 2 people. Not that I go out on dates, those are for queers. But when I go and eat with my imaginary friend, it's over $20 and the sh!t is mindblowingly delicious. I didn't think there would ever be that big of a difference between a $7 pizza and a $13 pizza, but there is.

I've hit up some nice pizza shops in the Hartford area recently...feta cheese on pizza is simply amazing...

Wendy's is the ******. Someone needs to make crispy chicken nugget flavored gum.

Rainforest Cafe's food sucks, FTW

I've eaten lots of meals that were well worth over $15. The first one that comes to mind is the breakfast buffet at the Maui Sheraton. Also, there is a restaurant in Atlanta named Houston's - when it comes to grilling tasty animals, there are few better places. I would imagine that you might be able to get the soup for less than $15, but that would be about the only option.

Houston's is a national chain.

The $100 plus meal during my wife's birthday was worth it.... It was also during our honeymoon in Hawaii The atmosphere also comes in account here......

Sorry, BBQ > *
It's one of the few meals I'd be willing to pay over $15 per meal for.
Actually, it's probably the only one.

That sounds almost erotic.
I'm with you on the classic double, though, that is a tasty burger.

If you want tasty cow and you're near Atlanta, try going to Bone's.

It'll cost ya though.

Yeah, I've had $100 meals that were worth more than $15....but not worth $100.

Best so far has been Ruth's Chris Steak House.

Out of the following:

Sullivans
Denver Chop House
Flemings
Spencer's (Salt Lake City)
Morton's of Chicago

Every once in a while I'll drop $25 with tip at Outpack to get the center cut filet.

That is one damn good meal

Do you realize that a large pizza for $13 isnt really pricey?? Most DECENT pizza places cost 10-20 for a large.... Chicago deep dish pizza is usually more than $20 and definitely worth it.
