Is expensive (fancy) food worth it?

[camsterman101 159]

Alright,

 

So we all have that place in our local area that has outrageous prices on food because it is fancy, I use that term lightly, as i went to a restaurant recently and I had a meal that cost around 43$, it did not taste any better then a mean that i had at Friendly's awhile ago. 

 

Now, Another point. The more you pay for food, the less you get, that is how it seems to work (in my eyes) It is all going to the same place, and some of it does not taste very good, sometimes is seems like some of the chefs try to make the food look better then it tastes, like "Guys that defeats the perpose of food!" 

 

So, do you all agree with me, or do you disagree?

Throw an answer below!

 

Thanks!

Depends on what kind of food you're into. Just this weekend, my, my dad and my brothers took an hour long trip to San Diego to try Phil's BBQ and we all agreed that it was worth the trip. On the other hand, I'd rather eat at McDonalds than Red Lobster, but that's because I don't like seafood

Food is meant to be eaten. It isnt a visual piece of art to me. I'd rather spend cheap and eat a whole lot than to spend copius amounts for something that wouldnt even satisfy my turtle.

 

I don't go to a restaurant for 'the atmosphere' I go there to be fed.

I personally don't think so. As long as it's food.. I'll eat it. I don't see a reason to spend more money on 'better' food.. especially when you don't get very much of it..

Why of course! At least for me. I'll always spend less on a lot of things, but end up "compensating" by spending more on food .

Sometimes it's worth trying... Like when I had escargot at a nice french restraunt as an appetizer.... 'Twas delicious...

 

And other times it's not.... A steak is a steak... I don't want my steak to be dressed better than I am... I just want it to be medium rare, well seasoned, and served with a baked potato.

I feel like fancy food is nice to have from time to time, especially things you may not have had before. I wouldn't spend money on or eat fancy food often though. I love me my comfort food!

I like to eat fancy food although I rarely eat it by myself because it is expensive.

The more expensive something is, the better it more than likely tastes, in most cases of course.

 

I enjoy visual presentation in food because why would I eat something that makes me want to be sick? Taste is obviously important as well but most 5-star restaurants seem to focus on visuals.

I personally don't really notice much difference in the quality of food past the stage where I like it, so I'd probably enjoy an expensive meal just as much (or close enough) as its cheaper alternative. Food is food. :/
