Thats true. Vegas had some nice fancy restaurants. I spent $60-100 a restaurant. And that was solo eating and not including the tips lol. But vegas doesn't have the flavor like we do in the south. The food looked great but didn't taste good
I don't really go out to fancy dining establishment, because I prefer cooking elaborate meals at home! I love a new recipe and challenge in the kitchen. If i go out it's to try something new or from a different culture!
I talked to a guy who works on a fish processing ship. He told me they keep everything they get in the net. He said they take the skate wings and punch out circles in them and sell them to McDonald's.
I doubt those McNuggets have much if any chicken in them. It sure doesn't taste like chicken.
Try a McChicken side by side with KFC's version of the same thing. You'll never have a McChicken again. And the KFC version actually looks like chicken.
I guess the fanciest place I went to was Italian and I had either pizza or pasta. But honestly I don't know if they were even fancy. I am fairly particular about a lot of things tho so I'm not sure what meal options I would pick from.
Not had any cause to go for a nice/ fancy meal either.
Depends. Fancy or Asian restaurants offer dishes I don't cook at home so I try them. I don't order frozen Norwegian cod fillet or pangeus from another continent in restaurant while I'm living 3 km from fishing haven with market.
That all sounds good, glad that you have a nice date night, When I would go out I never ordered anything much maybe some fish and coleslaw or fish and baked potato I like my baked potato with hard skins on them
Filet mignon. I rarely eat steak. Like, only when I go out to a nice place. I've tried those cheap places like Texas roadhouse, and outback, never again.
If Thai I get Green Curry and if Chinese I like Peking Duck... I do corned beef and cabbage if I am doing German and lamb chops if Greek & Lebanese with stuffed grape leaves.
For me: Thai - pad kee mao Chinese - Szechuan string beans and chicken German - wiener schnitzel Polish - gumke Lebanese - kofta Afghani - murgh chicken kebob Indian - tandoori chicken
Michelin star, 7 course meals, maybe lobster. The 300 dollar stake someone mentioned exists (I have never paid more than 50 euros for it but perhaps it exists and perhaps it is even worth it)
If it is a budget issue, just skip one of the salmon/nice meals and it should cover the costs of those. Maybe two. They are definitely worth doing once or twice in your lifetime (or more often if you earn well)

Depends on what type of restaurant we go to. For a general pub meal I usually opt for lamb shank or a pie.
Like shepherdโs pie? I love that. Yum! I am picky about my lamb. Only had one lamb dish I liked. I think Americans do not know how to prepare it.
I'll eat most meat pies but not keen on steak and kidney.
Yup. Kidney and liver I will eat, but not my first choice. Otherwise I enjoy a good meat pie too.
I mean to me fancy food is like olive garden or some nice fish from the frozen section of the store...
When I can though I like to get a nice steak somewhere.
I do like olive garden. Donโt get me wrong (soup salad and breadsticks!) but not fancy. Lol. Steak can be fancy.
Olive garden is the fanciest restaurant we have that's why I said it for us that is fancy dining.
Ikr thats fancy food down south ๐คฃ
@DizzyDesii Yeah.
Not up north ๐

Prime Rib with all the trimmings at a place like Lawry's or House of Prime Rib where they wheel out the giant roasts.
Do you like it with horseradish sauce or ju?
I prefer au jus or just salt as I find horseradish blocks the flavor of beef that I love. What's your preference?
Definitely the au jus. Hands down. Mostly due to my fear of the cream. Iโd eat a small amount of fresh horseradish.
But no Arby's Horsy Sauce for you! ๐คข
No wayyy. Arbyโs sauce is delish tho. Lol
๐๐
Classy ๐
@K-I-S-S
Hold the onions.
You and my 6 year old agree. But he gets chicken nuggs.
I talked to a guy who works on a fish processing ship. He told me they keep everything they get in the net. He said they take the skate wings and punch out circles in them and sell them to McDonald's.

I love skatewing! ๐
It's probably OK, but if I want chicken, then I want chicken.
I do nor have high expectations for MickeyDโs lol. If it tastes edible, all good. Lol
Try a McChicken side by side with KFC's version of the same thing. You'll never have a McChicken again. And the KFC version actually looks like chicken.
I prefer chick-fil-a

easily more than 1/2 of the time eggplant made someway or catfish... love my catfish... salmon too!
I like all those things too! I had a really delicious curried cauliflower once.
If it's a no-guilt meal, cost-wise, I'd get a filet mignon. Yumm yumm.
Yup. No guilt get what you really want.
Thank you, loves!
That all sounds good, glad that you have a nice date night, When I would go out I never ordered anything much maybe some fish and coleslaw or fish and baked potato I like my baked potato with hard skins on them
It depends upon the restaurant but I like veggies and fish at the main course.
Me too!
Filet mignon. I rarely eat steak. Like, only when I go out to a nice place. I've tried those cheap places like Texas roadhouse, and outback, never again.
Ewwww cheap steak is the worst
Yes, just like the common fish you can buy at Walmart, like salmon, halibut, sea bass, and scallops. Frozen cheap fish is much worse than a steak.
They are both really gross ๐คข
If Thai I get Green Curry and if Chinese I like Peking Duck... I do corned beef and cabbage if I am doing German and lamb chops if Greek & Lebanese with stuffed grape leaves.
For me:
Thai - pad kee mao
Chinese - Szechuan string beans and chicken
German - wiener schnitzel
Polish - gumke
Lebanese - kofta
Afghani - murgh chicken kebob
Indian - tandoori chicken
@loves2learn imma chef every meal I make for others air myself is fancy. If it's my choice I always go with seafood oor ramen! 😍
I love seafood! ๐
In love seafood too
I just like something that I don't normally have or don't know how to make.
I agree with this. Getting something you donโt make yourself usually.
Seafood or steakhouse type restaurants are generally my favorite. I do like Japanese grills a lot too.
Steak shrimp lobster a salad
I love veggies so definitely a lot of veggies. Especially asparagus.
Steak, salmon, lobster, especially if my parents are paying lol
For my parents 50th anniversary we went to a fancy place and got a fillet mignon. Sooo delicious ๐คค
Yuuuum! My oldest is too good for the kids menu now. He orders crab cakes or lobster or fish and chips. ๐
Usually some kind of fish or the specialty, especially if its something exotic
Sammmme! ๐
I don't consider that fancy, just nice, but yes, similar.
What is fancy? Lol
Michelin star, 7 course meals, maybe lobster. The 300 dollar stake someone mentioned exists (I have never paid more than 50 euros for it but perhaps it exists and perhaps it is even worth it)
Mmmmmm. Yes. That would be fancier than I described. Iโd love to try something like that!
If it is a budget issue, just skip one of the salmon/nice meals and it should cover the costs of those. Maybe two. They are definitely worth doing once or twice in your lifetime (or more often if you earn well)
Itโs not the money that is the issue. More time and travel. ๐
Right. Mossels in white wine (with fries) are good.
I adore witlof (but it is by no means fancy).
Where are you that doesn't have the culinary tops?
I guess we did go to some without realizing it. This is what I am talking about. ๐
Mossels, in late October, get served fresh in Belgium (to the best of my knowledge, maybe they sell me the July stock)
Sounds amazing. Maybe a nice boulliabase or cipino.
I will have to ask ๐ค
